Founder of Mauli products Anita Kaushal shares her impressions of our new retreat

Our friend and client Anita Kaushal, the founder of Mauli products absolutely loved her stay at our retreat in the Dominican Republic and gives us the low down from her stay. 

What were your first impressions of the place? 

The place felt calm, peaceful and inviting.  It was gentle, and I loved the chic and simple style.   

Which programmes did you do?   

My holiday was split into two.  I did an individual holistic programme that included a one-to-one consultation with Kyra as well as daily massage, yoga and hip baths, when I spent my days swinging and indeed singing in a hammock, walking along the ocean, reading by the pool and being thoroughly spoilt by the love lavished on me by Kyra and her team. Then I took part in a silent retreat with mostly Dominican women, which included a mud cleanse, crystal sound healing, mandala colouring, a fire ritual and, as we moved from silence to speaking, some soulful conversations with fellow guests. 

What did you think of the food?   

I had the choice of a juice fast or an abundance of food or a bit of both, and the food was exceptional and made with such love and devotion. I relished waking to a freshly laid table set by the ocean with mis-matched napkins and crockery and fresh flowers. Mornings started with fresh fruit, porridge with cinnamon, eggs and a coffee, lunch was usually a delicious big salad and supper tended to be a hearty bowl of soup. The pineapple sorbet was divine and I don’t even like pineapple! I ate so much but never felt over-full - just satisfied and energised. I even lost 4lbs - it was the most enjoyable weight loss journey I have ever had.
  

 Any tips for future guests? 

Don’t take much with you. Being here is about relaxing by the ocean, surrounded by nature, with a group of people who will lovingly and gently nurture your soul.  I literally went from airport to retreat and back again and I saw all I wanted to. It’s heaven.   

Who would you recommend the retreat to? 

Anyone who wants to return home feeling better without any effort at all. It’s as good for individuals as it is for couples, and children are also welcome. I defy anyone to not love being here.
