About Carol

Your Ayurvedic Consultant at The Private Ayurvedic Retreat

We’d like to introduce Carol in a little more detail. She founded Ayurveda UK (formally European Ayurveda) back in 1993. Her interest in Ayurveda began in the late 1980's when she first experienced the rejuvenating and revitalising effects of Ayurveda, yoga and meditation.

In 1993 she trained as an Ayurvedic Panchakarma technician at the Maharishi University of Valkenburg in Holland and in 2004 studied with Dr Vasant Lad at the Ayurvedic Institute in New Mexico

After a brief period working in a conventional health-spa environment she soon realised the importance of placing more emphasis on individual care and attention. With that priority in mind, she set up an intimate private therapy retreat in Staffordshire in 2000, taking only one client at a time and specialising in detoxification, weight loss, stress relief, revitalisation and rejuvenation programmes. 

She also provides an exclusive 'Home Visit' service for select clients in London, Monaco, Tel Aviv, Kiev, Tbilisi, New York and Los Angeles.

Over the last 25 years, she’s treated thousands of clients from a diverse range of professional backgrounds, from doctors, nurses, surgeons, business executives and teachers, to Russian oligarchs, pop-stars, supermodels and members of the British Royal Family. She regularly sees extraordinary changes to the health, well-being, weight and outlook of her guests due to the power of the programmes she administers.

Her treatment programmes are individually tailored to each client and she endeavours to maintain an atmosphere of peace and tranquillity, and a space of trust, openness and friendliness. Many of her clients return every year, some twice a year.  As she only treats one client per retreat, there are a limited number of spaces available.

If you’re interested in a private Ayurvedic retreat, contact Carol on 07432 660149 to discuss availability and to find out which retreat programme is most suitable for you.
