Her gentle yet transformative presence added a powerful new dimension to our guests’ detox programmes, reminding us all that intuition lives within each of us — if only we take the time to listen.

As a healer, Yvonne embodies the belief that living with love, kindness and compassion is the ultimate foundation for lasting happiness.

You will have also twice daily colon cleansing and a number of healing treatments helping you in your detox experience.

What are you allowed to introduce to your body during this program? We have a great selection of raw food dishes to please the palate and delight the senses. You will have also twice daily colon cleansing and a number of healing treatments helping you in your detox experience.

Active Cleanse

This program is based on exercise and holistic therapies, compelling the body to ‘sweat out’ years of built up toxicity within. The Active Cleanse provides rejuvenation on a cellular level. What are you allowed to introduce in your body during this program? You can eat our wonderful raw food dishes, drink the healthy juices, take the right supplements and nutritional support. This program speeds up the metabolism and releases feel-good chemicals from the brain.

There’s a Will, There’s a Way – Case Study (Yoga Retreat)

Jun 24, 2026 | Guest's Story

Santosa Detox Wellness Spa Phuket Yoga Retreat There Is A Will There Is A Way

Gender: F

Nationality: Singapore

Program: 5 days Yoga Retreat

Location: Santosa Detox & Wellness Center, Phuket, Thailand

Career: IT Sales

J is a lovely guest from Singapore.

She’s 41 years old and works in the highly stressful field of IT, but has been practicing yoga for two years.

Yoga is one of her passions and she became intensely devoted to the practice for health improvements.

So while already healthy, for J the goal of attending the Yoga Retreat was to deepen her existing yoga practice and gain more understanding of what yoga is all about, not just the yoga poses and asanas part of the practice.

What’s happened during the program?

One thing to note is that during the retreat, J was very determined and devoted.

She was extremely eager, and used this time to listen to her instructors which was definitely crucial to her success.

During her initial orientation, it was decided that J would focus on strengthening her existing practice, work on strengthening her upper body and learn tools on how to build up a better self-practice.

As the retreat includes yogi talks, J and her instructor decided together on two topics which were the Yamas and Niyamas and how we can incorporate these guidelines into our life in order to find balance, peace and harmony within.

Over the course of three lessons, J and her instructor ensured that she got the most from her retreat program.

Lesson 1 focused on getting to know J’s body, her weaker and stronger points, her likes and dislikes. Lesson 1 was a useful, general assessment of the student.

Lesson 2 focused on building up upper-body strength and sharing various tips, movements and poses that can help build up strength in that part of the body. Easy arm balancing postures have been workshopped and taught.

Lesson 3 focused on Yang and Yin in yoga class. Focused on strengthening the knees (the guest has reported experiencing pain in the knee joint doing some physical exercises), workshopped a few asanas, alignment techniques and movements to protect and strengthen the affected area. Then, the yin yoga asana was practiced and a body scan meditation was given.

J’s personal schedule was varied and allowed time for self-reflection and self-pampering.
Here is a reference to J’s schedule to better understand how her days were structured, and how your days might be structured if you choose to take a Yoga & SPA Retreat at Santosa.

Conclusions

The program was very successful for J, and she followed it well during her stay with us.

She is super active, dynamic and fluid, which made it really easy for her to join in any physical activity or classes at Santosa.

One takeaway J intended to focus on was the beauty of stillness and the quietness of the mind.

J gained a lot of confidence in the 5 days that she was with us and became much more aware of her posture and began the process of improving it. She incorporated many of the things she learned during her retreat into her practice.

During her stay, she joined all our morning meetings in which we offered plenty of healthy topics related to detox, diet, life style… She showed high interests in coming back for a Juice Fast Program.

We look forward to meeting J again in future.

9 day raw fast – best gift to your hubby

Sep 9, 2018 | Guest's Story

“I surprised my husband with a 9 day Raw Detox at Santosa Detox & Wellness Centre right before our 5 week European holiday in July 2018.

From the very first day of our arrival we settled right in to the experience of detox and exercise. It was also a quiet period so there were not many guests which meant that we were pretty ‘spoiled’ by the wonderful staff. Each day we would wake up at 7am and head to the morning yoga, which was a wonderful way to start the day. Not too strenuous.Then we would have our green shot and head over to the morning meeting to explain the plan for the day ahead. We sipped on the concoction we had to take prior to our first colonic of the day and then would go to have the colonic which became a daily ritual (twice) we actually looked forward to.
Knowing that it was getting rid of toxins and waste in the body. The room was private and clean and there was a TV to watch informative shows.

After this there could be another exercise, like yoga, pilates, zumba, HIIT, acro yoga. Then the relaxing part of the day which we always looked forward to, a wonderful massage and then our Raw lunch. After this we might have half an hour to run down to the pool and swim and sunbathe before the next colonic. Then there would be another form of exercise or meditation for an hour. Time now for hot sauna and cold plunge pool.

Then, yay….. dinner! We did every single activity that was planned and virtually ran to every one. There was no time to sit and relax (except the half hour at the pool). We went back to our 2 bedroom apartment and there we would relax with TV or just simply get a good nights sleep and start all over again the next day.

We were loving it and my husband was feeling particularly good and energised and loving the fact that he was losing weight daily. By the end of the 9 days he had lost nearly 6 kgs and a great deal of visceral fat. I had lost just 1 kg (but had less to lose) but my body age that started at 36 (I am 60 yrs old) came down to 35 !

We went to Europe and met up with our friends and they all said how well we both looked. My husband still talks about Santosa daily and wants to return, which we will.

The staff were awesome, particularly Maria, Paula, Olivia and Leila. They are so knowledgeable and caring. The owner is lucky to have these girls and the other wonderful staff particularly when she returns home and leaves them to run the business. We could not fault anything. OK the accommodation is quite basic but it is clean and serviced every day.

We would highly recommend Santosa to anyone looking at changing up their lives and doing a detox who is serious. We look forward to returning in the not too distant future. “

Green Juice Fasting for diabetes guest

Sep 2, 2018 | Guest's Story

Mohamed from Kuwait finished his 7 days Green Juice Fasting at Santoa detox and wellness center Thailand.

He wanted to use green juice fast to beat his diabetes.

He said: “I stayed here for 7 days, but I am sure I have changed all my body and the health also. I lost weight around 5kg within 7 days. I will do again… and thank you so much for the whole program.”

Before he arrived, we knew from his questionnaire that his blood sugar was pretty high, so we put him in the Green Juice Fasting. During the program, he stopped his medication with close monitoring from our team. His blood sugar level became much more stable after 1 day, and it continuously improved, till the end the program, all data showed normal.

In past couple years, we had many diabetes guests joining our Green Juice program and the result turned out amazingly.

Fasting is a real way to help the body to rebuild its capability to heal itself. This is the way to treat the root of the problem, not the symptoms.

We feel great that Mohamed decided to deal with blood sugar issues with the natural remedy. To deal with diabetes, a clean and balanced diet is also very important, this is what we will follow up.

For more information, simply fill out the inquiry form below. A member of staff will be in touch with answers to any and all questions you might have. We look forward to seeing you soon at Santosa.
