    Fertility and Preconception care

    Discovering you are unable to conceive is a dreadful shock to the system, in many cases just as devastating as losing a loved one. The usual advice is ‘Have a holiday’ or ‘Go to IVF’. There is another way! If there is one area of our lives where the naturopathic approach is appropriate, it is surely that of fertility. After all, Mother Nature IS fertility!  She is reproduction.

    This program is designed to assist women in optimising their health, rebalancing the hormones and conceiving, happy, healthy and vibrant children. This program has been successful in achieving conception for many women that are deemed medically infertile, have had repeated miscarriages or have undergone numerous IVF cycles.

    What They Say

    “You could call me a retreat junkie, as I take myself away every year for a detoxm or retreat. I’ve been to 6 retreats now across Thailand, Bali, and Australia, and I would say hands down Sarah at White Lotus is by far best I’ve experienced. Its not just about the body, there is so much transformation potential for the mind and soul if you want to heal in those areas too. I’ve done a personalised water fast with Sarah twice now and had phenomenal results both times. My hormonal imbalances and Hashimoto symptoms have completely disappeared including headaches, brain fog, weigh gain, skin issues and inflammation. Daily Quigong/Yoga, colonics, sauna, magnesium baths keep you focused and nourished while your body detoxes, and then comes the feeling of clarity, thriving and feeling so high on life. Sarah is the ultimate host and healer, she thinks of everything from the gorgeous welcome pack you arrive to, to the vast library of books she offers to read. She always gives the best hugs on the days you most need it! If I’m after results, in a safe, supervised and nurturing space, I choose White Lotus Cleansing. I feel amaaaaazing!”

    Nic McClure

    ‘Thank you Sarah, Nikki and Team! I arrived at White Lotus Retreat, not really having any expectations, but in desperate need of a physical, mental and spiritual reset. I was exhausted on all levels, stressed out and completely burnt out. What an amazing week I had. I had originally booked in for a 6 day juice cleanse, but after my initial Naturopathic consultation with Sarah, and feeling in the best of hands, I decided to do the water detox. I am so glad I did. I learnt how intelligent our bodies are when we treat them with respect and give them the best platform to do what they are designed to do….heal and support us. After years of being a chronic insomniac, I am sleeping better than I have in years. I am now back in my (still very busy) day to day life post detox, and I am navigating my way through the hectic schedule with clarity, calmness and control that I have not experienced for many, many years (if ever). Sarah’s knowledge seems unlimited, she walks the talk, has an amazing ability to put you at ease, and make you feel completely supported throughout the entire program, along with excellent post retreat follow up. The White Lotus Retreat is something I will gift to myself every year from this point on. I am not the only benefactor…my children, partner, friends and family have all noticed a much calmer, vibrant me, and life just seems so much more full and wonderful. Thank you Sarah and team for providing me with the reset I desperately needed. We are so lucky to have this facility (the only one in Australia). A life changing experience.’

    Trudie Cox

    ‘My 21 day water fasting experience at White Lotus Cleansing Clinic was life changing! I signed up for ongoing chronic health reasons and I can’t tell you how happy I am that I did. It felt like a last resort after years of seeing so many doctors & health professionals, undergoing endless tests and taking ridiculous amounts of supplements. I was relieved when Sarah told me we didn’t need a diagnosis because fasting can help with pretty much all health conditions. And it has! By day 4 my head was clear of the brain fog I’d been tolerating for years. I breezed through my last period with very little discomfort and it was lighter than I’ve experienced since being diagnosed with endometriosis in my teens. My skin is clear and the whites of my eyes are super white. My hay fever has settled and I’ve stopped taking antihistamines which I previously took twice a day to control allergies. I’ve even stopped taking my thyroid medication for hypothyroidism. It’s early days but I don’t think I’ll be needing them again. I’ll be monitoring this with my doctor. There was also a huge bonus that I didn’t expect – a wonderful spiritual experience. I had lots of time for self reflection, yoga, meditation and stillness. I know this is just the beginning of a whole new way of living. I’m calm and at peace. I feel amazing! Thank you Sarah’

    Joanne Carbone

    I have been to Sarah’s detox retreat for 3 years in a row. Every year has been the most wonderful, rewarding, experience which has led to real change, not only physically but also mentally and emotionally. The combination of treatments which include juice fasting and supplements, colonic therapy, restorative yoga, magnesium baths and massage genuinely cleanse my body and mind. My joints become more flexible and less inflamed, reducing or removing pain, stomach bloating disappears and my sinuses clear completely. In addition, my mind and nervous system begin to run at a calmer pace and sleep improves. At the end of the retreat my body and mind have reset, so that I can walk away feeling clear headed, energised, and with a renewed strength to manage the year ahead.’

    Nicola Jackman

    The biggest gift anyone can give themselves for a reset and refresh is to place yourself in the trusted hands of Sarah Foley and her team. Each retreat my mind clears and has the space to become creative, my body is lighter and is excited to keep up the healthy habits it craves. Thank you Sarah… looking forward to next time.

    Georgie Demaine

    Sarah is one of the most beautiful, kind and caring people I’ve ever met. I first came to Sarah’s retreats back in 2015 with so many issues! I had fertility problems, a shocking immune system, and what felt like endless digestive issues. As a nurse of many years the first thing I tried was western medicine, it didn’t take long to realise they couldn’t help me. Now 5 years later I cant remember the last time I had digestive problems, I fell pregnant naturally and gave birth a beautiful little boy. Every retreat I attend I feel like I I’m peeling back layers that reveal an even healthier version of myself, I’m hooked for life! Words will never be able to express my gratitude to White Lotus Cleansing Retreat and I would recommend them in a heartbeat!!
