White Lotus Cleansing Clinic

I did the 5 day retreat in late July 2020. Sarah was fantastic. She has years of experience and puts information in clear easy to understand language which is important when you're fasting. She and the White Lotus staff were very warm and welcoming and could not do enough for you. I felt so well at the end of the 5 days.

I am so thankful for Sarah’s new online detox program that has made doing a detox, with the full care and correct guidance needed, possible during these times! I was a little sceptical (and nervous) about how I would go doing the program on my own at home but had been feeling so unwell, I was also desperate and knew it was needed! In the weeks leading up to the detox, I could barely eat a mouthful of food, regardless of what it was, without feeling instantly bloated and sick. Now, nearly a month after doing the detox, I am still feeling the best I have felt in a very long time.

The program was delivered with so much care and attention to detail it instantly helped me to relax and enjoy the process. The daily checklists and videos make following the program incredibly easy - It felt safe and easy to do through all of the different stages over the week and I knew Sarah was only an email or call away if needed.

I was amazed at how quickly my body responded - by day 3 I had lost any appetite or cravings and I starting to really enjoy it! I noticed the increase in energy, clarity and lightness in my body and as I’ve returned to “normal life” this has now continued into new diet and lifestyle changes that my body is naturally wanting.

I had looked at a few programs and had spoken to a few gut specialists and could tell straight away Sarah was the right person to work with; her honesty, lack of judgement, extensive wholistic knowledge and care and nurturing was exactly what was needed! Thank you Sarah! I got so much more from this program than I was expecting and am so thankful for all you have done!

Beyond disappointing. I need a retreat to recover from this retreat. The venue is currently (as at Sept 2020) at holiday rental properties in Broken Head, not the usual retreat center in the Byron Hinterland due to a filming a movie there and is not open again until 2021. Judging by the previous 5 star reviews I would say that the wheels are seriously falling off while at this new location.
The experience is not a relaxing designated retreat center and I was disturbed 5 days in a row by partying in the next door villas, as this retreat is in a villa complex with normal holiday makers just having fun, which is of course their right as they are on holiday but it does not co exist at all well with a retreat when trying to relax, rest while feeling weak while fasting, meditate, sleep etc. At least the beach is close to escape for some peace and soul nurturing, but that's just the point.why would you feel you want to escape a retreat, you shouldn't want to leave!
Everything was disorganised on a daily basis, the owner Sarah her partner Sol and the housekeeper girls seem to need an extra member of staff. What is left is a very unprofessional experience. This retreat is not the real deal, it's currently just an illusion.

I have attended this retreat on two different occasions now. Sarah and her staff are beautiful people that hold a loving and nurturing space for all the guests. Fasting is a very individual experience and can be very difficult but at all times I felt supported and was treated to the most amazing massages and acupuncture treatments as well as the most wonderful yoga and qigong classes every morning to get my body moving and to assist in the healing process. Sarah is highly trained and professional and at all times I felt cared for and supported through my 7 day fast. Sarah and her staff continually made sure I had everything I needed & went above and beyond on many occasions. I honestly cant thank you all enough for what you do xx

I was extremely disappointed in this retreat. Sarah was very disorganised and unprofessional. It was extremely overpriced for what was offered to guests. Basically her retreats are generic with absolutely no regard for what you are personally experiencing. Sarah the organiser and owner did not offer any compassion or care and was never there and really offered zero personalised service. It was a waste of time and money. I am not one to post bad reviews but this retreat was extremely disappointing on so many levels.

I did an online e-retreat while staying at an Air bnb near The Health Lodge. I was hoping to improve my mental health and reduce some medications that I had been on for years, but I got much more than I thought possible from one week of change. I am medication free for the first time in a decade, my focus has returned, my energy levels are like a 20 year old again, I've quit smoking, coffee and sugar and I wake up every day feeling amazing.
Sarah is incredibly attentive, knowledgeable and kind. I am someone who is a bit cynical towards alternative therapies and naturopathy, and I never imagined that one week of cleansing with the help of a professional could be so life-changing. I would recommend White Lotus to anyone who wants to transform their life into something better.

I recently completed another personalised water/juice fast with Sarah. It was a very special experience and I felt completely re-set afterward. It was a perfect combination of having Sarah spend time with me and guiding me with daily breath and stretching work, massages, saunas, colonics and emotional guidance to having time to be on my own in beautiful surroundings and going for a swim, a walk along the beach, a bike ride or just being still and introspective. I felt very blessed to have been able to do this retreat with Sarah and look forward to returning soon. I highly recommend Sarah Foley@White Lotus Cleansing.

Highly recommend. While in Byron for a 3-week yoga training, I completed the "Cleanse and Nurture" package to create my own mini-retreat and detox support. Sarah and her team at the Health Lodge are incredible. They worked with my busy schedule to arrange appointments, they checked in regularly to see how I was doing, and they provided thoughtful, educational information about the detox supplements, post-cleanse health suggestions, etc. The Kahuna bodywork session was incredible. Sarah and her team are so welcoming and knowledgeable. The "Cleanse and Nurture" package was the perfect complement to my time in Byron. I really recommend coming in for one or multiple appointments if you're spending a bit of time in Byron. Thank you thank you! XOXO

As a guy that has never really done anything like this I was pretty hesitant but I had nothing to worry about! I felt welcomed and comfortable the moment I arrived and couldn't believe how good I felt afterwards!

Sarah and her team at White Lotus Cleansing Retreats are amazing. I feel so clean and energized from the inside out, both mind and body and soul. It was wonderful to spend 7 days on my own with the support and encouragement of the other guests, and Sarah and her team. I loved the 1 1/2 hour Yin Yoga sessions with Jamie each morning and the daily Infra-red sauna sessions. Soma Byron was a fantastic location for this retreat, a great space to chill out in your own en-suited room and rest with wall to floor glass windows, or have a swim in the fresh water pool or do some educational reading in the foyer space. Sarah is so passionate and very well educated and full of information about cleansing one self from the toxins of everyday life. Each and every guests cleansing journey is tailor made for you! I did the juice cleanse and I feel wonderful, and I am now a alkaline ph 8 and am going to do my best to keep myself that way. My mind is clearer and can "think: again. The whites of my eyes are sparkling and can see my blue color eyes again. My teeth are cleaner and mouth is healthy. I even lost weight and feel lighter, which i was not expecting, so that was a bonus. I feel very blessed and fortunate that I could experience this cleansing and feel it has saved my life from spirally further in the wrong direction. I am now on the right path to living a better life and more aware and knowledgeable of what I feed my mind and body and will be encouraging anyone I can to go and attend one of Sarah's cleansing retreats. I have had compliments of how good I am looking since returning home. I feel strong in my soul and feel like I am in control of my life again. Thank you Sarah.xx

'Sarah is lovely to be around because she holds the space for everyone as she works with them to make sure they get the attention they need. Most importantly, White Lotus Cleansing helped us not only detox our bodies but also our hearts and minds. One of the best detox programs I have done! '

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!

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.

Doing the White Lotus Cleansing retreat has been life changing for me. It was a profoundly healing experience on both a physical and emotional level. The practitioners were extremely nurturing and sensitive to all my needs. The blend of quality treatments tailored specifically for me was powerful in effect and enjoyable. I continue to return to White Lotus Cleansing every year for a tune up. After I always feel energized and ready to take on all the challenges of my life with a spring in my step.

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!

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.

I have just finished a retreat with Sarah. It was incredible on so many levels. Not only do I feel fantastic physically but also mentally. The surroundings were magnificient and everything catered for so all you have to do is relax. Great opportunity for reflection. So good for the mind, body and soul and a total reset. Can't wait to go back again!

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

The cleanest and best facility for colonics in the region coupled with the standard of professional experience white lotus cleansing is the only choice we can make for personal professional and hygiene assurity sometimes a little bit of normality and conventional professional standards is absolutely a must with no acception after many years its reassuring to know there is a standard such as this in the northern rivers peace of mind ben and Lucy

I Completed a 7 day Water Fasting retreat with Sarah and it was Incredible. I went to lose weight and did, but I got a lot more than that, I detoxed my system, reduced my medication that I have been on for 20 yrs. I Got a holiday in Byron, one minute from an Amazing beach. I learnt more about my body and health. I will be definitely going back every year. Sarah is down to earth and easy to talk to. She supports you through the whole process. I have not felt this healthy, full of energy and vitality since I was a teenager. My experience was life changing. I’m so grateful that I met Sarah. Troy
