Nutritionist Natalia Otero Sancho and Pilates teacher Chloe Hodgson have recently hosted a very successful Detox & Pilates retreat in Tuscany and we wanted to give you a little overview to tempt you into coming with us next time! We hope to hold another one next year so please get in touch with us now if you are interested as places are limited. We also hope to host a Winter Detox & Pilates retreat in the UK in February 2015 so watch this space!
- The retreat was held at the beautiful Poggio Piglia, a 150 year old boutique farm hotel set in the magical Tuscan hills.
- Natalia met each one of our clients before the trip for a nutritional consultation to establish individual health concerns, food preferences and objectives for the detox plan. Natalia then carried out a further two consultations with each client over the weekend and a final review back in the UK to make sure everybody was sure of how to incorporate the detox principles in their daily routines.
- A welcome Detox Pack with supplements formulated by one of the top Chinese herbalists in the UK was waiting for them on arrival. Medicinal mushrooms and herbs, CPTG essential oils (further info below) and a list of easy recipes were also included in our package.
- Every day we went to the Terme Sensoriali at Chianciano Terme & Thermal pools and enjoyed the purifying mud treatment and massages.
- Each morning we went for an invigorating walk in the wonderful Tuscan hills followed by a poolside Pilates class. Chloe also held dynamic Pilates and barre classes in the afternoon followed by a sunset stretch and meditation before dinner.
- Delicious, liver friendly, vegan food was prepared by our Italian chef Salvatore, so no fasting was involved. Throughout the day, we served many cleansing juices, with mushroom boosters and CPTG lemon oil.
- Exclusivity is crucial for our clients so we can give them the best attention and service. We only have a maximum of 10 clients on each retreat.

Medicinal mushrooms
Fungi secrete enzymes that literally chop toxins apart. They can destroy some of the most potent carcinogenic chemicals including phthalates, polycyclic hydrocarbons, and aflatoxin.
We used four types of medicinal mushrooms:
- Chaga booster - Internal colon cleanser
- Snow fungus booster - Anti-ageing, anti-inflammatory and depurative
- Liver detox supplement: formulated with Antrodia camphorata, silybum marianum (known as milk thistle), curcuma longa (the active compound of turmeric) and camellia sinensis (green tea extract).
- Lifestyle support: Cordyceps sinensis, ganoderma lucidum (reishi), panax ginseng (nervous system modulator), schizandra sinensis, panax quinquifollium.
Essential oils
What are essential oils? Very powerful antioxidants, which prevent all mutations, work as free radical scavengers, prevent fungus, and prevent oxidation in cells.
Essential oils may detoxify the cells and blood in the body.
We choose three different oils that are very helpful for mind and body detox:
Lavender to help address nervous system and inflammation
Lemon to help boost liver cleanse and maintain normal blood pH levels
Peppermint to help with sugar cravings and stress
