A Comprehensive Healing Experience

The Health Lodge medical retreat programs have been developed and designed utilising our integrative and collaborative healthcare approach.

This approach incorporates the best medical and complementary therapies, combining the wisdom of multiple modalities and expert practitioners, which together create a synergistic opportunity for healing. Our years of clinical practice has demonstrated how a carefully designed program can integrate and amplify the healing effects of the individual modalities.

Through our medical retreat programs we offer a deeply supportive structure that assists in your healing process. This supportive and considered process begins with your initial discovery call and extends through your stay with us and into an after stay program to ensure your care and healing continues at home.

Your team of professional healthcare practitioners meets twice weekly to collaborate, share their knowledge to understand the drivers of your illness and develop a treatment protocol aimed at addressing the drivers, not just your symptoms. This collaborative approach allows your team to create, manage and review your care program.
