2 Medical Consultations
A medical doctor will review your current health status and medical history, discuss your personal goals and prescribe all the necessary treatments to detoxify your body and promote your health span and wellbeing. At the end of your programme our expert team of doctors will provide you with all the required lifestyle modifications to reach optimum health.
2 Nutritional Consultations
Based on anthropometric, metabolic and diet related data, one of our dieticians will determine your nutritional status through an in-depth analysis of your daily diet needs. Any nutritional deficiencies in your diet will be highlighted to help restore your overall health and wellbeing.
Detoxifying Diet
An essential component of the Chenot Method®, the Chenot Diet® is a pivotal intervention in your programme. Consisting of three appetising, reduced-calorie and plant-based meals a day, each meal is precisely formulated to combine good fats, low glycaemic index carbohydrates and limited amounts of plant proteins; this triggers the body’s fasting response whilst providing ample nourishment to the cells.
4 Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers ®
The Chenot Lifestyle Biomarkers® provide you with a vitality score, an indication of your current rate of biological ageing. Diagnostics include: Vascular Age Assessment, Minerals and Heavy Metals Intoxication Analysis, Measurement of Advanced Glycation End Product AGEs and Skin Collagen Thickness Assessment.
1 Body Composition Analysis
Providing a snapshot of your health, we analyse what your body is made of, differentiating between visceral and subcutaneous fat, proteins, minerals, muscle and water. Understanding this baseline data, we can recommend nutritional plans and prescribe relevant treatments for both short-term and long-term health concerns.
1 Bio-energetic Check-up
Using Resonance Analysis Technology, our state-of-the-art bio-energetic screening provides information about the energetic state of vital organs and the body’s functions, in relation to defined parameters of health. Gaining insight into your needs, an effective personalised treatment plan is prescribed to restore the energy balance of the body.
2 Chenot Bio-energetic Treatments
Personalised, bioenergetic signals are transmitted through laser conductivity points on the body to assist the restoration of its energetic balance. These treatments also offer a non-invasive cellular stimulation that promotes cellular rejuvenation processes.
6 Chenot Energetic Massages
These daily treatments aim to relieve and clear energy flow in the meridians, in turn re-energising the body. The use of ‘cupping’ stimulates the vagus nerve, re-equilibrates the energetic circulation and lymphatic system and improves blood circulation, promoting an extraordinary sense of wellbeing.
6 Hydro-aromatherapy Treatments
Using the very best essential oils, personalised ‘Chenot Elixirs’, are added to the bath water during the Hydro Massage. The variations in the water temperature and pressure, combined with the thermodynamic effect of plant extracts, cause the dilation and constriction of the capillaries. This action stimulates natural physiological functions to remove toxins and fat deposits from the skin tissue. It also combats the effects of skin ageing by favouring spontaneous cell regeneration, improving skin appearance and its overall peripheral blood and lymphatic circulation.
6 Phyto-mud Treatments
The second step of Chenot’s hydro-energetic treatment involves the application of a white and green clay body wrap, enriched with minerals, microalgae and pure essential oils. The combined effect of essential oils and minerals further drains, detoxifies and revitalises the body depending on the application time, helping to eliminate physical muscular and psychological stress tension.
6 Hydro-jet Treatments
In the final hydro-energetic treatment, a pressure-jet adds a powerful cooling action to the thermal stimulus, tones and firms the skin, and improves peripheral circulation to restore energy.
3 Acupuncture Sessions with Ross Barr
Ross combines Five Element Acupuncture with a deep understanding of your individual needs to restore balance and promote overall wellbeing. His treatments are renowned for their calming, holistic approach, offering effective relief for both physical and emotional concerns. By working on meridian points, acupuncture helps stimulate the nervous system, releasing natural chemicals that enhance mood, reduce anxiety, and support overall psychological well-being. These sessions with Ross J. Barr go beyond physical alignment, addressing emotional and mental health to foster a lasting sense of happiness and stress management.
THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF ACUPUNCTURE
Ross J. Barr, a Five Element Acupuncture practitioner with over 20 years of experience, has observed that many patients seek treatment for physical symptoms but often reveal underlying emotional issues during sessions.
Acupuncture, a 3,000-year-old healing practice, works by restoring the flow of ‘qi,’ or life energy, through the body, treating the root cause of physical and emotional imbalances.
Five Element Acupuncture is based on the theory that the mind, body, and spirit are composed of five elements—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water—and imbalances in these elements lead to health issues. By diagnosing and treating these elemental imbalances, Ross helps patients regain balance and emotional resilience.
Acupuncture has shown significant promise in managing stress and promoting emotional wellness. Studies indicate that acupuncture stimulates the release of endorphins and serotonin, neurotransmitters known to regulate mood and reduce stress levels.
