My copy of the June ‘What Doctors Don’t Tell You’ Magazine arrived this morning (my favourite health magazine) and it’s SO lovely seeing this feature on @thebodytoolkit Virtual Retreats in shiny print ! 🤩 The end of May online retreat is coming to a close tomorrow and the 6th June Retreat is now fully booked with a waiting list, but there are now dates in the diary for July & August. What a whirlwind month it’s been, thanks to the internet, I’ve managed to welcome over 40 people onto the programme, and have been broadcasting to over ten countries all over the world 🌍 I am extremely grateful to each and every person who’s chosen to retreat with me just now ❤️ image

I have to tell you that Michael is my *very biased* boyfriend but he shared this endorsement of the virtual retreats earlier today and despite the obvious bias, the results speak for themselves: “I wanted to give a shameless plug for Katrina's online retreat by sharing what effect it had on me. I wouldn't normally share this kind of thing, but I think it might actually help some folk, so, ere we go: For the last 2 years I've suffered from pretty consistent bloating, nausea, and have had a chronic blocked nose (which sounds pathetic, but it's become a real issue). I've tried eliminating food groups and changing things here and there, with varying levels of impact, and the thought of being reliant on pharmaceuticals to fix any of these things is not something I'm willing to entertain. In addition to that, embarrassingly, I'm technically officially fat 👍, according to my BMI (and sadly also the mirror). I don't eat particularly bad, and exercise hasn't really moved the needle for that. So going into 6 days of juice detoxing led by Katrina I felt highly motivated to continue to combat these things. To cut to the chase. After 6 days, for the first time in 2 years, my nose is completely unblocked, my bloating and nausea have completely gone, my fasting blood sugar level has dropped and I've lost around 7kg of fat (in about 10 days). Beyond these physical results, I feel clearer, more alert, happier, and driven than before. It's set me on a bit of a journey personally that has led me to wanting to meditate and look into how I can use this momentum to make some long term changes. The things she guides you through on the retreat now have significant scientific backing, and things like fasting have started to be recognised by more mainstream healthcare guidelines. The good thing about the retreat is you're guided through it, and have accountability to get through the week, however once you've adjusted to this, it'll set you off in another direction with your health, both mental and physical. Going on over 500 people's consistent and undeniable feedback and now my own, I can say 6 days and a few quid to rethink your health is nothing.“ image

It's been a very different week to the one I had planned. The plan had been to share the week at @arisaighousehotel with a wonderful group of people from all over the world, welcoming spring in style. With the plan not going to plan, the last couple of weeks have been a rollercoaster of emotions, and yet I've been blown away by the kind understanding, generosity of spirit and support that these wonderful people have shown me this week, rebooking onto future dates and sending messages of encouragement. And I am extremely grateful for every ounce of support. I've never seen The Body Toolkit Retreats as a 'tourism business' - I'm passionate about health - but I'm also passionate to the core about bringing people to these remote parts of the Scottish Highlands, and tempting people to return in the future. The tourism industry in the Highlands is a lifeline to local communities and it's taking a massive body blow just now - I know we all are. So, if you can, please reschedule/postpone/rearrange any trips you had planned, rather than cancelling them altogether, if you can. As soon as it is safe for us to travel, the Highlands will be the first to give you the warmest of welcomes ❤️ image
