Frequently Asked Questions
Support and Care
With over 30 years’ experience in detox and therapeutic care, we safely monitor your physical and emotional responses throughout your retreat. Daily check-ins ensure you feel supported, informed, and well cared for.
Everyone’s detox experience is different. Some move through with ease, while others require a gentler approach. We adjust the program as needed – going deeper when appropriate, or easing back to support your body and nervous system so you receive the greatest benefit from your retreat.
Is fasting for everyone?
Fasting is not suitable for everyone. Your retreat will be tailored to your individual health needs and circumstances. We recommend consulting your doctor or a qualified health professional before starting any fasting, dietary, or detox program. In some cases, medical clearance may be required. Many people can still safely participate in a detox retreat while taking prescription medications or requiring food. In these situations, we adapt the program accordingly to ensure safety, support, and benefit. We can guide you on what to discuss with your doctor if you’re unsure where to start.

Travel & Accommodation
Airfares, accommodation, and daily transportation are not included in the retreat price.
The retreat program is held at The Body Balance Company Clinic in Mission Beach, approximately two hours south of Cairns. You’ll need a car to travel to and from the clinic each day. We don’t recommend walking or cycling in the tropical heat or rain, especially while fasting or detoxing.
If you’re joining us from interstate or overseas, we recommend hiring a rental car at Cairns Airport for the most convenient and flexible travel to and from Mission Beach.
Please note that taxis and Uber do not operate in Mission Beach, so having your own vehicle is the most reliable option for daily transport during your retreat.

At times, we may have special discounts for retreat participants through selected accommodation providers

We recommend that all participants consider taking out general travel insurance for peace of mind, as it can help protect against unforeseen events such as missed flights, travel delays, cancellations, or loss or theft of belongings. For most guests, general travel insurance is appropriate, as our retreats are considered leisure travel.
Whether you choose to take out insurance is entirely up to you. It’s a personal decision based on your own level of comfort and peace of mind.
Please check with your preferred insurer to confirm that your policy includes domestic travel within Australia and covers your retreat dates.

00:00:02.000 –> 00:00:10.000
Hi I’m Scott from the Body Balance Company 2018 our January retreat we’ve got Rob here
00:00:10.000 –> 00:00:28.000
who’s what day are we on today Rob? We’re on day 8 as a fast. And I’m just gonna ask Rob how you feel about your experience with Body Balance and the workshop and the work collectively what we’ve done.
00:00:28.000 –> 00:00:54.000
Well let me give I guess put in context some background for me. I first came to you Scott and the Body Balance team about 13 months ago. I was significantly overweight at the time. Two months earlier I’d just been diagnosed with a life-threatening illness and for those 13 months I’ve been on a program now through Body Balance to correct my health.
00:00:56.000 –> 00:01:10.000
Culminating in the retreat that we’re on right now. The journey that I’ve had over the last 13 months culminating now in these last 8 days has been phenomenal and I put it all to thanks to the Body Balance team.
00:01:10.000 –> 00:01:20.000
It was a bit of a celebration of sorts today. Today I knocked over 50 kilograms of weight loss. 50. Yeah which is pretty cool.
00:01:20.000 –> 00:01:21.000
Well done.
00:01:21.000 –> 00:01:28.000
And I’ve been doing a lot of work. But I’ve still got a journey of course with the illness as well. So we’re working our way through that too.
00:01:29.000 –> 00:01:39.000
Fantastic. And with the workshop what results have you found on some of the protocols that we’ve presented to you?
00:01:39.000 –> 00:02:02.000
What I find amazing about this retreat is that it’s holistic nature. We’ve attacked every organ of the digestive system and in fact pretty much every element of the body and gone through some sort of cleansing process or detoxifying process through it.
00:02:02.000 –> 00:02:17.000
Whether it’s my blood, my bladder, my kidneys, my stomach, my small and large intestine, my gallbladder, the whole holistic nature of the therapies that are on offer here in Thailand are amazing.
00:02:17.000 –> 00:02:37.000
And in terms of the results, I’ve seen it in the blood cleansing processes that we’ve done. I’ve seen it in the CNT and Kassai massages that we’ve done. I’ve seen it in the Shiatsu work that Rachel’s done. It’s been phenomenal.
00:02:39.000 –> 00:02:40.000
Brilliant. Thanks Scotty.
00:02:40.000 –> 00:02:42.000
You’re welcome. Thank you.
00:02:42.000 –> 00:02:43.000
Thank you.

00:00:00.000 –> 00:00:06.000
Hey everybody my name is Dan and I have just finished a body balance detox
00:00:06.000 –> 00:00:12.000
program with Scott and Rach and look it has quite easily been one of the single
00:00:12.000 –> 00:00:16.000
most important investments in my own well-being that I’ve made in my 47
00:00:16.000 –> 00:00:20.000
years on this planet. From the very moment I met Scott we had our initial
00:00:20.000 –> 00:00:24.000
consult through to the program of having a pre cleanse that really helped get me
00:00:24.000 –> 00:00:28.000
and my body ready for this deep dive that we’ve just done over the last 10
00:00:28.000 –> 00:00:33.000
days through to the actual program itself where you know we’ve we’ve had
00:00:33.000 –> 00:00:37.000
really great success at identifying and dragging out some of those heavy metal
00:00:37.000 –> 00:00:42.000
toxins in my body probably too much information about the parasites that I’ve
00:00:42.000 –> 00:00:47.000
ejected from my body through using the coffee enemas and also the really
00:00:47.000 –> 00:00:52.000
wonderful body work that Rach has done has really helped set me up to have the
00:00:52.000 –> 00:00:58.000
skills tools and resources to take control of my well-being because a really
00:00:58.000 –> 00:01:02.000
big thing for me is that you know I need to be at my best because my world needs
00:01:02.000 –> 00:01:06.000
it and you know the work that I’ve done here with Scott and Rach has really helped
00:01:06.000 –> 00:01:11.000
me to continue to be at my best so I would recommend it to everybody it’s been
00:01:11.000 –> 00:01:15.000
life-changing and it’s as I said at the outset the single biggest investment that
00:01:15.000 –> 00:01:18.000
I’ve made in my well-being and it’s been absolutely worth it
