It may be a bit early to be making resolutions for 2008, but with the launch of boutique boot camp NuBeginnings you’ll find your post-Christmas detox deliciously different.
Based in a beautiful mansion house in rural Devon, the retreat will offer specially designed weeks for women who want to lose weight and increase general wellbeing.
NuBeginnings promises to give women the tools to continue their weight loss once they go home, with hypnotherapy used extensively during the camp to enable women to understand how and why they have issues with weight loss.
Victoria Wills, founder of the retreat, believes that it is important to not only tackle weight-loss through diet and exercise, but to also get to the root of the problem and address the reasons why women often have issues with their weight and why they find it difficult to control. She explains, “At NuBeginnings we believe in re-educating women about their lifestyle, and aim to give them the tools to change. A key part of NuBeginnings is giving women the knowledge and confidence to continue their weight-loss and new lifestyle at home.”
NuBeginnings is the only retreat to specialise in hypnotherapy, which is a key part of the programme, used to tackle the underlying reasons for ‘destructive’ eating habits.
Expert workshops and lectures on topics such as ‘mindful eating’, ‘stress and diet’, and ‘exercise—it’s a MUST, not a maybe’ are essential parts of the programme. In addition, guests will take part in cooking classes and nutritional workshops, and with the beautiful countryside location of NuBeginnings, outdoor tai-chi, yoga, and hiking sessions are unique elements of the programme.
The NuBeginnings retreat also includes a selection of relaxing therapies to help cleanse the mind, body and spirit, including reflexology, massage and NLP therapies. NuBeginnings only accepts 10 guests a week, ensuring the best levels of individual attention and service. NuBeginnings also offers luxury accommodations and beautiful surroundings, allowing guests to relax and unwind. A total ban on TV, radio, caffeine and junk food completes this unique detox experience.
