‘I arrived with extreme symptoms of arthritis I was on painkillers (Panadol x2 plus a tramadol in order to sleep) By the second day I was completely off all the pain killers and my stiffness in my knees, shoulders and neck had completely disappeared. Through the group therapy (sharing) and polarity exercises, I made the connection that my arthritis was connected to an issue with space. Through this awareness I feel my body is lengthening, my energy is flowing and I am letting go, consequentially my pain and stiffness has almost completely disappeared. I will complete another detox within a few months and I will be completely free from arthritis within the year. Thank you Dianne and Val this has been a life changing experience. I completely recommend it.’

‘I was feeling pretty tired before I came - deep down tired. I knew I needed to stop but didn’t want to stay at home. I was pretty nervous about both the fasting and the detox so I spoke to Dianne before making a final decision. Di was both informative and encouraging, which was helpful. I quickly made up my mind that this was the thing for me.

‘Nearly thirty years ago I had an accident and badly damaged my ankle and have had restricted movement and lots of pain in my ankle and knee ever since. I had never let go of the impact of that fall. The detox retreat along with the Polarity Exercises was a great opportunity for me to work through and let go of the enormous impact. After the week I found that I had an increased range of movement and a profound bodily understanding of the moments immediately before and after the accident. I was able to let go and move on. Come with an open mind and soul and you will find them filled with love. Be prepared to let go of pain and hurt and revel in the peace and tranquillity you will find here at the Juno Academy. Expertise and information is readily available and freely given on all sorts of matters. I found the group sharing to be profound and safe and it was skilfully handled. By the end of the week I felt truly cleansed, refreshed and ready to make significant life changes!’

Having done a number of detoxes before, all of which took place in sunnier, more detox friendly Thailand, myself and my cousin had decided that we wanted to do another cleanse, but didn’t want to haul ourselves half way around the world for the experience. So we scoured the internet looking for the equivalent fast in the UK and eventually to my delight we came across Juno Academy. What struck us most were the pictures of the big country house, the idyllic setting and the price!!!! So we decided to book.

Before arriving we were a little reticent about fasting in the UK as we were so used to fasting in a tranquil beach environment in Thailand. But on arrival, after meeting Dianne and seeing the house, and the surroundings, any anxieties we had vanished immediately. This is the perfect place to starve your body while feeding your soul.

The house is a big rambling gorgeous country manor, set on 2 acres with gardens that explode with beautiful flower displays that assault the senses. Dianne is a living embodiment of the nutrionational philosophy she espouses; all glowy cheeks and a great big “I’ll look after you” smile. And look after us she did, by listening to our woes and always offering words of encouragement at our weakest moments.

As faithful devotee’s of detoxing through fasting we would highly recommend this, it can be tough at times but you feel amazing when you complete the fast, lighter, clearer, and happier...... Detox in Devon with Dianne, your body and your life will thank you for it.  Thanks Dianne for sharing this journey with us. We’ll be back........
