Before the retreat, Dr Nicky Whiteman will send you a comprehensive medical questionnaire and may contact your current doctor to obtain medical reports and blood results.

Depending on your medical conditions and previous blood results, appropriate blood tests will be ordered and you will need to have the tests done at the most convenient laboratory. Dr Nicky Whiteman will obtain the blood results prior to the retreat.

Every client will have a slightly different schedule. The basic outline of the retreat is as follows:

Note that when you are not having a treatment you will be able to do several activities, including beautiful hikes, mountain biking, bird watching or just lying on a comfortable lounger under the trees.
