About

Achievable. Practical. Sustainable.
​
This is the retreat for finding solutions to complex on-going health issues, especially stubborn gut health problems. Natural and holistic therapies are applied in a pragmatic way, empowering the individual with the help and knowledge to thrive again. ​
​
The Retreat is tailored to a single visitor in order to provide the most tranquil personal and bespoke care.  An in-depth health analysis is used to design a juicing and detox protocol specific to you and your needs. A broad spectrum of treatments can be accessed and a wellness plan will be developed for you going forward. Guests will leave revived, positive and empowered with a clear understanding of their health and wellness requirements, having begun their journey to better health and vitality. The team at Torside recognise that embarking on your journey to better health is not always easy and are here to support and guide you. 
​
Torside's south-facing grounds range from formal borders to wildlife ponds, woodland and kitchen gardens. The diversity of the gardens bring many aspects of interest throughout each season and offer visitors the chance to surround themselves with the healing strength of nature all year round.  
​
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Identify. Understand. Empower. 
​
At Torside Health & Wellness we believe that your health is as individual to you as you are. We treat holistically, that is to say we treat you as a whole. Because of this, we address all of your symptoms and trace them all back to the root cause. Once that is identified, the path to healing can begin. This philosophy means that your experience at the retreat will be personalised to you, taking into account not only your health but also your lifestyle, diet, personality, trauma history and so on. Director Pia Barratt likes to get to know her clients well and will have an in depth discussion with you in order to ensure the most beneficial programme is developed for you. â€‹

Example Programme

The Cleanse - 4 day residential detox

Health issues very often arise from a build up of toxicity in the body. Regular cleansing is essential for health and body maintenance. The foundation of all of our programmes is a cleanse protocol. We tailor the cleanse to your needs so that you get the most from your detox as well as the right support and guidance. We use Kinesiology and Nutritional Assessments to advise what is best for you. All cleanses are assisted with colon hydrotherapy, massage, saunas, rebounding and hot/cold therapy. Ice baths are also available.  
​
We build packages around our cleanse protocols to address your health needs. In this way we can address many issues including the following:
​
Digestive Health (addressing intolerances and gut balance)
Detoxification (liver and bowel focus)
Emotional Wellbeing (anxiety and depression management)
Hormone Rebalancing (including fertility, menopause)
Reset and Revive (addressing stress and energy levels)
Strength & Fitness (for those wishing to achieve better results)
Weight Loss (practical and long-lasting solutions)
Trauma and Grief Recovery (releasing damaging emotions from the physical body and mind)
