“I came to you feeling extremely tired and bloated; one week later I am more awake and less bloated. …… The mixture of bodywork I received helped me both physically and emotionally; I now feel able to deal with things/situations which I previously felt insurmountable”
(Sarah Green – Vet.)
“Throughout the week I was treated with such care and understanding but it was never intrusive. I felt completely at ease and had complete confidence in Michael who was directing my programme. I cannot overestimate my respect and gratitude for the people at the Fisher King. They possess a rare perception and intuition, and clearly take great joy in their work”
(Serena Buchan – Teacher)
“I wanted to write and thank you for your sincere commitment to my real needs and recovery”
(Rosamund Bennett – Secretary)
“I was filled with trepidation but these feelings were completely laid to rest as soon as I walked through the door. It felt such a special place; the immediate feelings of acceptance and compassion were overwhelming and persisted throughout. The seven days were a turning point in my life”
(Martyn G. Sutton – Computer Programmer)
“It is impossible for me to put into words the immense feelings of joy, love and well-being I experienced. … I only know that I received a great deal more than I expected or even contemplated” (Frances Zammitt – Barrister)
“I enjoyed my week with you all. I found the Intestinal Cleanse went a lot deeper than I expected. In those deep places I was given all the support and nurturing I needed. Thank you. I recommend this programme with all my heart. It has been very well researched and carried out. My doctor was amazed when she saw how happy and healthy I look. I’ll never forget it!”
(Greville Davies – Chef)
All the methods in the past have been short term fixes – this time I feel refurbished. Thank you all for the love, support, time and energy that you gave. It is truly immense and priceless. Namaste Dennis Rule, Liverpool
The glow of the Fisher King Centre still warms me as I remember the care and loving professional insight into my physical, emotional, intellectual and, yes, spiritual needs. Several weeks later, I continue to enjoy improvement in my day-to-day life as I follow the centre’s practical advice and my own new-found inner voice. My purpose in life is more clearly defined. It’s as if a load has been dropped, or lifted, leaving me a more centred, peaceful man. Words just can’t express my true gratitude. Scott Ewing
I have really appreciated the ‘clean’ feel of the space offered, which I reflectively feel inside as I leave. There is an obvious passion being lived out here, an attention to detail and a thorough expertise which whilst much space is given (and appreciated) there is a feeling of being held which allowed me to trust fully in the process and therefore open to a complete physical purification and ultimately transformation. Many thanks and blessings on your work in service of all those to come. In love, Elahn x
What a week, the whole team of people that worked with us were excellent. Michael’s bodywork was very good . Became so much more aware of my body, an education through experience. I never imagined the filth I have been carrying around inside me, what a joyous feeling to release it all. Thank you to Araura for making the colonics comfortable and informative, Fiona for her intuitive bodywork (and food, more later). I’ve lost ¾ stone in weight and feel fantastic. The food on the last day, prepared by Fiona, was the BEST meal I’ve ever had. Thank you. Everything was taken care of for us and the space made available for us was totally harmonious. A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE. In love, Rick Lockwood
Many thanks to everyone for your skill and support at a very tough time for me. am going away 10 lbs lighter and also lighter in every sense. Still much hard work ahead to get really healthy but this is a fantastic start. Bless you, with love, Jane
The Fisher King Centre – a truly wholistic approach to health, a week where body, mind and spirit were truly catered for in a loving way by Araura and Michael. With grateful thanks – you have made a difference to all those who have taken part. With love, light and joy. Dr. B Gonsalves
Having spent many years with bowel and candida problems, have had colonics and done liver cleanses with only temporary relief, I was delighted to come to the Fisher King Centre where the whole programme has been so beneficial to me. The whole week has been magical, such a caring and loving atmosphere. Going home 10 lbs lighter is a bonus. The detailed case history taken, nutritional support and advice to match same is wonderful. With sincere thanks to Araura and Michael. All my love, Ann Kelly
Heartfelt thanks for all your support. It has started us both on a challenging journey which could not have every contemplated without your devotion and commitment to the individual ‘the needs of the one’. And the passion with which you carry out your work. Thank you again for being ‘caring people’. Angela and Jayne
P.S. Loved the head massage Michael and I thought your music was brilliant
What a fantastic week. I expected it to be one of deep hunger and feeling like hell … the exact opposite happened. I never felt hungry, I kept feeling better each day and the only scary bit was what came out from inside me (oh and maybe the time Michael had a midnight feast and I thought it was burglar!) The bodywork was great –– the colonics were brilliant, very funny in parts. The surrounding country is beautiful, I intend to come back nearer to summer, the walking is wonderful. Michael and Araura thank you so much for welcoming me into your home, for giving me space (which I crave) and for sharing your vast knowledge with me. Thanks to Sam and Fiona also. I will see you again I have no doubt. Much love, Wendy xxx
I don’t know where to start except by saying thank you for a life changing week. I knew it would be a special time but little did I realise how special and transformative. An incredible inner journey to the centre of the self! The evening I arrived provided plenty of practise in ‘letting go’ – I won’t go into that one, suffice to say it started the ‘letting go’ process of my internal ‘baggage’ (and external) I had been carrying round for too long! I have learnt so much in so many ways this week and will take much time to assimilate it all. Our bodies are awesome creations and this week has taught me about respect for my body: look after it and it will look after you. I never realised how much it would affect my emotions when letting go ‘stuff’. Thanks to Araura for making colonics so much fun – I’ve never laughed so much in ages, weird that it should make one laugh so much at times. And as for the liver, well that at times made me laugh too, amongst other things. Special people, special talents, special place which goes to mak a crazy, unforgettable, transformational, inspirational experience. There are so many words I could use but in other ways for me much of it was beyond words that I know. A word that has echoed in my head this week has been ‘grateful’, and I certainly am for all Michael and Araura’s efforts, love and patience in the facilitation of my transformation. We live in exciting times! Spread the word! So much I can’t express in words but a connection has been made and I know they’ll both be fully aware of how it’s affected me even if I can’t quite explain in properly! Some one else mentioned this too – new found inner voice. I whole heartedly agree. I’ll be back I’m sure. Love and blessings, Sarah xx
P.S. I don’t think they’ll forget me in a hurry – can’t go into it just now!
This week’s detox (and I mean a proper detox and not the crap you read about) has been a real experience. It has truly motivated me to make the necessary diet and lifestyle changes to my life, to get me to where I have to go. Thanks to the whole team. Lots of love, Ashi x
01/03/03 Well, what can I say! Only Anna-Concepta is ‘reborn’. I am a real experience of a new life. It’s just begun. Many, many thanks for all your understanding through my very difficult times. It’s very much appreciated. God bless you all. Michael you are a rock. With much, much love and light in my heart. Shanna xxxxxx
P.S. Fiona, you helped me put my past in perspective. A very big thank you. Araura, I will never forget you. Thank you for all the laughter.
I can’t thank you enough for all of your help, support and understanding this week. When I came here I felt complete despair at the state of my body and had no idea how I could move forward. You have helped me to feel, not only physically better, but much more positive that I will regain my health. I now feel back in control of my life and feel I have the tools to help me to soar. It truly is an incredible gift that you offer to people here. A big heartfelt thank you. You shall always be in my heart. With love and respect, Mel xxx
I’ve not been educated and inspired with such compassion – truly transforming, I feel nurtured and uplifted on so many levels. Thank you with love and respect (let’s lobby for this in our schools). Gary x
Feeling this good is almost indescribable. I can’t thank you all enough for this memorable week. You’ve inspired me and given me the strength to continue with the new start to my life. I hope that whatever I end up creating or doing means that I am contributing something meaningful and valuable to the world as you all are. With all my love, Susie. You may not have seen the back of me yet …
Just a wee note to thank you all so much for my amazing week. The benefits will last a lifetime and I was so touched at the care and love I was shown. I felt physically and mentally stimulated by the time I left last Saturday. I haven’t fallen off the wagon yet and my cravings for the ‘bad stuff’ have almost totally subsided. For that, I’m eternally grateful, (long may it last).
Hi All (Michael, Fiona & Araura). A humungous thank you to you all. My time here has been inspirational. I came here feeling exhausted, fuzzy headed and lethargic and am leaving feeling as if I could run a marathon! My vitality and zest for life has returned. You have helped me re-examine my life and my purpose – to the point where I have a clearer focus and have much more clarity in what I wish to do. Michael you have given me so much, your compassion, warmth, patience and love is boundless – a true blessing from God. Araura – you’re an angel. Fiona, thank you for your passion and wonderful glowing smile. You have such positive energy! Thank you all again. With much love, Audrey
Layers and layers and layers slowly unpeel. I know the next months will be interesting as I integrate the changes and watch the growth. Lilac room, bird song, serene peace. With absolute love, Isfahan.
This week has been a truly inspiring and spiritually uplifting experience for me. I arrived with anticipation and slight nervousness knowing there was a great deal of blockage and pain inside of me. My trust and intuition rewarded me as I couldn’t have found a more caring, gentle and spiritually aware group of people to assist me in this transformative period of my life. Michael, thank you for your incredible bodywork, constant emotional relief, generosity of spirit amazing stories and for sharing your music. I hope we have the chance to make music together in the future. Fiona, your warm smile was always so reassuring .– Thanks for your wonderful reflexology and listening/helping pinpoint key areas of fragility within myself. I’m sure the breathing book will be a great help for me. Araura, no one in the world could have made the colonics as bearable as you did. The time flew by and your gentle approach and invaluable advice was greatly appreciated. I could have talked with you for hours! The house has an indescribable energy which is completely calming for the heart. I felt at home all along and more and more centred as each day passed. Lisa and I were so fortunate to be blessed with your healing skills. This was a week I shall never forget and will always cherish. I have been sensitively initiated into what I feel is a life changing experience and I cannot thank you enough for your support and guidance. The I-Ching, tarot reading, levitated water, trampoline, slant board, saunas, Alice Coltrane, reading material, corn chowder – the list goes on. Muchas gracias!! I am also so happy you had the chance to meet my family. I certainly hope we will see you someday in Andalucia. With much love and warmth. Mark x
In the pursuit of an ultra healthy mind and body I have tried countless experiments, courses, bodywork, eating plans and health farms. The results were minimal and short lived due to being performed on my toxic bowel/system. I was searching for the thing that would make the difference to my health and my eyes have been opened to how the bowel affects everything! This place was like a dream I’ve had but couldn’t find it. It enabled me to reach into those dark places and let go in a gentle and supportive environment at my own pace and with all the information I needed. Thank you so much Michael for your knowledge, kindness and humour. For giving so wholeheartedly of yourself and your numerous skills. Thank you Araura for helping me let go of what I was holding onto in your patient loving way. Thank you Fiona for your openness and intuitive reflexology that opened up some feelings I didn’t even know were way down there. I really look forward to learning more from you in July when I return for some food preparation advice. I would also like to say thanks to Mark who made this journey a little more fun and being able to talk to someone who was going through the cleanse with me and see mirrored in him how I felt was enlightening. With much love, Lisa
Dear Friends. This is my second time and it gets better every time! Thanks and lots of love, Zarmina (from Hamburg)
It is Saturday and I am flying. Glowing inside and out. I feel lighter, cleaner and fresher than I have done for years. Feel like partying! The week has been tough but so worth it. Many thanks to Michael, Fiona, Sam, Araura, Chrissie and Dawn for guiding us through in such a kind manner. Trish Atkinson xxxxxx
To all you beautiful smiley beings. Being here, doing the cleanse and detoxing has put me, reminded me, revealed the sound of one hand clapping – breathing that in and living it is a joy that warms its way into my heart and from that pouring, gratitude breathes its way into your hearts, as we are one. The colours are so much brighter! Kez looks great. Music pours out from my soul. I will always remember your loving smiles and kindness. Namaste, Marma
Had a great week even with the ups and downs (literally). Everyone at the centre was great – lots of support in every way. The treatments were wonderful. My path has been made clearer now to know what I must do to make my life more fulfilled, looking forward to going home and the challenge. All my love and thanks from the heart to everyone at the centre. Brenda
Just when the caterpillar thought it was going to die it turned into a butterfly. Thank you for my fluttering wings. Betty Soldi
What a fantastic adventure, words cannot begin to encapsulate the significance of the Fisher King Centre – It’s remarkable, wonderful, amazing!
This whole experience of transformation on so many levels has been a true privilege to share with you in the beauty of Glastonbury.
Such a special place, with such inspirational souls who will always have a special place in my heart.
Michael – my guiding star. Thank you for your compassion, intuition, knowledge, patience and love.
Fiona – my guardian angel. So graceful, loving and sincere. A heartfelt thanks for truly listening and blessing me with your advice and intuition.
Araura – my little ray of sunshine. You made colonics so hilarious yet enlightening. Never underestimate the wonders of the bowel! The joys of scatology – need I say more!?
Dawn – my rainbow of light. Deep respect for sharing your insight, care and kindness through the wonder that is iridology.
Sam – pure bliss with those magical hands!
I am deeply touched by the lessons I have learnt during my stay in this haven of love and tranquillity. Such joy and feelings of liberation having rediscovered my smiley self, a higher level of self awareness and regained my health, strength and inner love.
I look forward to becoming a shiny happy health freak, treating my body with the great respect it deserves.
Knowledge is power, power is love
You cannot give more days to life but you can give more life to your days
The answers we need lie within us – take time to listen
Long may your work here continue
Vous resterez toujours dans mon Coeur
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. For those who are yet to come – be bold, be brilliant, be beautiful
Much love and thanks for your positive energy and outlook. Grazie mille a tutti
Gros bisous, Hazel xxx
Dearest Michael, Fiona and Araura
I came here such a tired, sad person who just wanted peace and silence.Thank you for all the love and kindness you have shown me this week and making my heart sing again. I have come to realise that I was like a butterfly trapped in a hunter net. You have helped me break free so my spirit can explore the wonders around me waiting for me to find them.
Thank you for helping me realise it is OK to ‘feel’ the way I feel about life and people and that this is the essence of me and the change this would be to disregard the ‘real’ me.
I am leaving stronger and more peaceful inside.
You will always be in my heart. Love, Pam xxx
All systems completely restored and in balance. Thank you so much for another week of loving kindness and sound practical information. You’ve been a magical resource for me and I’m very grateful. With much love and appreciation from Caroline
Many thanks Michael, Fiona and Araura for providing such a superbly restful environment. I had a great time. I’ll be back! Best wishes, Fiona Harrold
I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the time was transformational. Thanks so much for creating such a sacred space. Lisa x
Before coming here I was experiencing lots of fear and trepidation of what may happen. That disappeared quickly as I was welcomed into the beautiful energy of this home.I say home because this space is more than a centre, it held me in a place of warmth and acceptance while I let go on many levels. Michael, Fiona, Araura, Dawn and Sam supported the whole process lovingly, gently and knowledgeably. It has helped me in many ways, not only physically but also emotionally and spiritually. I have witnessed many acts of kindness and selflessness that have inspired me deeply. Thank you also to David who shared the process with me. Love and gratitude, Kay
Living a less than pure lifestyle I was apprehensive about this week of starvation and colonics! As soon as we arrived I knew it was going to be great. Araura’s fantastic bedside manner, Michael’s wisdom, hands off guidance and hands on body work were fantastic. Everyone here is excellent at what they do and they do it with love. It has been a fascinating experience, gives me a new perspective and a wholistic care for my life’s ills. Thank you all so much for everything. Love, David
I can sincerely say that this has been the best money I’ve ever spent on myself in a long time. Thanks very much to every one. Lots of love, Charlotte
Thank you for your wisdom, love, knowledge and expertise. You have all been so helpful, supportive and giving this week. I feel I have transformed physically and emotionally. You are all wonderful people and I love you very much. I wish I could be with you more often. With love, Ann
Thank you all so very much. My time at the Fisher King Centre has truly been an inspirational journey. I’ve gained a huge amount of knowledge with regards to nutrition, my physical health as well as my spiritual well being. It’s been a real eye opener, and for that I am forever grateful! I hope that our paths will cross once again in the future. With love, Kim
An enormous heartfelt thank you. I now have the energy, clarity and knowledge to continue along this path of life. With love, light and metta. Iain A. Bennett, Brighton
Thank you for your love, support, kindness, wisdom, compassion and humour. For the first time I have experienced a therapeutic process that really gets to the root causes – eliminating those old toxins allows for release from old patterns, hurts and thought processes, leaving me feeling light, consolidated and revitalised. The future certainly looks brighter and more inviting when released from the baggage of the past. As for the present, well I laugh a lot more, and find even the challenges are less challenging. You are a notable manifestation of love in action and the world is a better place for the healing gifts you bring to it. Much love to you all, Des
Much more energy, feeling better than I can’t remember when, and looking forward to the challenges ahead. Michael, Araura and Fiona were such wonderful hosts, outside of the treatments it was a ‘holiday’ in itself and seems I have been away from the ‘real world’ for ages. Thank you so much. Colin
Michael, Fiona, Araura, Sam, Dawn. I think the word to describe my experiences at Fisher King is ‘PROFOUND’ on all levels. Thank you for your support & knowledge. I will be back!! Best wishes and love & peace. Laura xx
I am so glad that I came to the wonderful Fisher King Centre – I truly believe that I will benefit from my stay on many levels. You are such a caring team. I felt looked after and ‘safe’. Thank you for everything. Much love, Doreen xx
Thank you for all your compassion, understanding and support. Also the sense of humour that prevails throughout – a light relief from the heavy ‘stuff’ that is being eliminated! My aches and pains in my legs and arms have completely gone. I feel lighter and much more sprightly. I have also enjoyed the stimulating conversations and debates. Food for thought and much more thought about food intake from now on. Thank you all. It’s been hell but much closer to heaven now! Lots of love, Lynette
Dear Michael, Fiona, Araura and Karen. A very amusing, charming, informative ‘space’. A very aimiable way/method of infusing into clients that with a little self control, belief and confidence you can change your life. Starting with your mind ‘set’, then your physical movement to aid absorption and digestion of all the ‘good’ diet food you will now be ingesting. Thank you for fun, laughter, the best intro into ‘colonics’, for a ‘social’ pastime (only with Auntie Araura!) and putting up with mischievious me! Love and light, luck and spirit x x
Michael, Fiona, Araura and Sophie. Thank you for helping me to start the rest of my life.
Janet
Thank you for looking after an exhausted Naval Officer. My new gut and I are looking forward to the challenges ahead with new clarity and of course less toxins. (Can’t believe how many stones came out of my liver!). The bodywork was amazing. Araura, how do you manage to make a colonic so enjoyable?! You are a rare find. Great week – amazing results. Best wishes, Sandy
Thank you so much indeed for everything you have done for me! Now the hard work begins!
To Michael for getting me to trust. To Fiona, fair kind and just. To Araura my colon you did bust! But seriously, Thank you for all your beingness. Love and mega hugs, Calie
Michael, you provided me with a sanctuary. You have enriched my life in a way I never thought possible. You accepted me for who I really am. I am deeply touched by the love I felt from Fiona, Araura and Old Chinese! Words will never convey my appreciation for the help I received from everyone. You have helped me on my journey Michael, my friend. Bless you all. With much love, Tina
Michael, you’ve gathered together a fantastic team of therapists, they are all really lovely. . You’ve done a fantastic job in creating this place. Thanks for everything. Brendan
To Michael and staff, You’ve been lovely and compassionate and loving. Araura was wonderful to me. It’s been an eye-opener and I feel so much better. I’m looking forward to my next liver flush and hopefully some bodywork from Michael. Lots of love, Rosemary xxx
To Michael and everyone. This has been a unique and amazing experience. I am left feeling very energetic and on a positive road towards enhancing my health. I’m sure that the effect will now show until I leave here. I have learnt so much about myself, about nutrition and health generally. Everyone here has been absolutely loving and caring. So much more to say but not enough pages. Thank you for everything. With love, Charm
Dear Michael, Araura and Fiona et al. Having arrived full of trepidation at such a new experiece, you all made me feel so safe that I have quite surprised myself! The whole week has been a life-changing experience. Thank you all so much. I shall always remember this week. Everyone should do it. Maybe one day I will feel strong enough to come and take part in the liver cleanse too! Thanks again for all your love and care, time and patience. With love, Diana
To Michael, Araura and Fiona, Thank you all so much for your caring and loving kindness and all the help you gave to making my husband pain free and me rejuvenated. I really enjoyed the time spent with Fiona, learning her vegetarian cooking. She has so much patience and such a lovely manner – she makes it look all so easy. And Araura thank you for your gentleness in introducing my husband to his first ever colonic irrigation. You are truly a great team. Love, Marilyn and Ken
Thank you all so much again for my second stay. I feel so at home here and peaceful. My body feels different, looks different and I feel re-energised to continue learning about healthy delicious cooking thanks to Fiona’s wonderful cooking skills that she imparted to us. Thanks Michael for your fantastically intuitive bodywork and interesting conversations. And to Araura for your sense of humour whilst giving colonics. Lots of love to you all and the work you are doing. Lisa xxx
Beltaine Day! Dear Michael, Fiona, Araura, Dawn, Sam and Isaac! After having been sick in bed for 3 months and wondering if I would every experience good health again, this – coming here, has been the best decision – the best money spent of my life! It has been comprehensive taking many therapies that I experience and combining them together to really understand the path this body needs to follow. I feel revitalised, energetic, optimistic and light – all things to let more light radiate my body. If it is not overdoing it I’ll be back next year – for sure the year after. And I’m immediately recommending this program to my 250 harp therapy students! Christina (playharp.com)
A time to rest
A time to think
A time to read
A time to learn
A time to heal
A time for touch
A time for support
A time for love
A time to let go
A time to change
From the moment I arrived, when Michael came to great us, I felt nurtured and nourished, both by the place and the people. Thank you all for being so illuminating and inspiring. Ali B x
Sense and sensibility restored. New visions arise. The experience was of being ‘at home’ and being looked after. I am taking gifts away – real treasures. Michael, Fiona, Araura, Annie, Sam, Dawn – thank you. Believe me, I could not pay for the gifts I have received on a material plane, however, this is wonderful value for money. Go well and blessings. Alison G
09/05/04 It has been a privilege to visit with you all and I am incredibly grateful. Thank you so much to Michael, Fiona, Araura, Sam, Niki for your care and love. I feel we have all achieved some personal miracles and we are all happy bunnies as we farewell you at the end of a very special week. Lots and lots of love from me, Margaret-Jane
I knew that this would be a special place for me to begin my spiritual journey long before I came to the Centre. The word ‘thanks’ is not enough. I have felt emotions that I have lacked and searched for all my life. I hope to have you all in my physical and spiritual life forever. This isn’t goodbye (Oh no, I hear Michael say!). As an untalented actor once said ‘I’ll be back’. Love, blessings and good health. M
22/05/04 A team of very knowledgeable, very wise and very caring therapists! Thanks especially to Fiona for her skill in helping me resolve a profound issue re my mother. I have struggled to cure intestinal candida for 15 years. This treatment was truly an eye- (and bowel!) opener! Success is now at hand! In Michael I have found someone whose wisdom and knowledge I can really trust, and Araura has got to be one of the most gentle and thorough colonic therapists on the planet! Pat
Quite the best ‘chunk’ of money I have ever spent on myself. Will be letting ‘the world’ as well as friends and clients know. Will do a report on my website for you. I think you’ve got the ‘course’ spot on. Nothing I couldn’t deal with and wow – did the heavens smile on us this week with the sun! I have even lost an effortless, unexpected ½ stone – only one more to go and I’ll be back in my normal, lovely, fitted clothes.
Thank you for showing me love, Emma xx
I am leaving today lighter in my body and soul. I came here needing peace, love, direction and support. This I found in abundance at the Fisher King Centre. It has been a week that has changed my life on many levels. See you soon, Suzanne xxx
We had a wonderful week, thank you so much. We feel so much more healthy. What a great team! Friendly, informative and kind. Jane and Anne
Thank you for a wonderful week. I feel healthy and alive and ready for life. You are a brilliant and inspirational team. I will be returning and sending my friends (some by ambulance). Much love, Jenny x
Beloved Michael, Fiona and Araura. Thank you so much for your profound gifts and for connecting into me in a true soul connection. I am looking forward now to my life, feeling the excitement of good health being in control of that destiny. I know I shall see you all again but in the meantime you will live in my heart and I shall check in with you from time to time. My love and gratitude always. Ingrid x
Transformative experience – will make immediate changes to diet (my husband has already been warned!) Thank you all for the ‘insights’ and enlightening conversations. I’ve learned a great deal. Letting go will be a lot easier from now on. I have left my old self and have started a new life. The timing for me has been just right. Can’t wait to get home and start chucking out all the ‘bad’ stuff. Thanks again. You are making a big difference to a lot of lives. Daf x
The Liver Flush Blues
Woke up this morning
I’m at the Fisher King Retreat
My belly’s aching
And my mouth don’t taste sweet
This colon cleansing
Is a hell of a game
And you know it’s a shame
Refrain: And so I’m cleansing
Singing the liver flush blues
Yes I’m paying my dues
I’ve been pushed, pulled and pummelled
Mashed up, washed out, not fed
‘How did I get to this?’ I cry
As I stumble to my bed
I drink my veggie juice
As I dream about toast
It’s just a simple thing
But I want it the most
Refrain:
My body’s on fire
With the niacin rush
My head is throbbing
So please, don’t touch
Lord, I wonder
Why I have to suffer so?
I’ve been no angel
But a devil – no, no
Refrain:
Joking apart – thank you all for creating such a wonderful space and place for healing. I know the transformation will continue and I’m excited about that. Thank you again. Peace and love, Hazel
No, seriously – thank you, thank you, thank you to you all for giving me exactly what I needed and when I needed it. Now, does anyone know the local police telephone number? For someone who has stolen my belly!!! Love to you all and ‘quack quack’ to Araura! Love you,Joanne xxxxxx
. All words seem inadequate. Thanks for a wonderful stay and all your loving kindness. I’m sure to come for a 4th time. Zarmina
Ur ….. well what can I say? A lot of rubbish has been eliminated – not saying where! Fiona and Michael have infinite knowledge and expertise at your disposal – ask. Thank you – I will endeavour to follow the right path – no chips, crisps, sweets, cake, bread --- help!
Am too full, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically to formulate any thoughts here – I’ll be in touch soon but in the meantime I will chew each mouthful 50 times! And drink at least ½ pint water 8 times per day – but not sooner than ½ hour before or later than 2 hours after any one of my three meals!! See – I have learnt something! More importantly I now need to remember it. Thanks again to all of you for the experience of a life time Fiona
Thank you all so very much for all you have done this week. I did not, as you know, come here for my benefit but for Vicky’s. You have so successfully helped her which, in turn has given me peace of mind. I am so grateful. For me personally this has been a time of emotional and bodily release. When was the last time that I relaxed and didn’t feel I should be doing something?! Thank you. I shall be back Ann
Everything by all of you has been given in such generous measure. Thank you. Rosemary
Just thank you, and see you again. I cannot find the words – beautiful, magic, caring. ‘Let love be your energy’. With love and care from Vic x
Dearest Fiona, Thank you so much for this opportunity to give my body the fresh start it so badly needs. I know now that the rough times have all been worth it – I only have to think for the ropes of stuff that came out of me!! You have a gift for creating a very healing and spiritual setting and I have really appreciated your insight, humour, integrity and caring. And as for the food you cooked us to break the fast! I can honestly say that the lentil soups were one of the most delicious meals I’ve ever eaten. And not because I had been starving for a week! Equally, I have never enjoyed a salad like I did on Saturday. Thank you too to Michael (in absentia) for your generosity in making it possible for me to come here. With much love, Sanita xxx
Thank you so much Fiona for doing so much for me this week. For being so kind to me when I felt poorly, for cooking the most delicious food on our last day, for taking me shopping on the last day, for your many words of comfort and encouragement. I am so grateful for all that I have learnt. . I am so happy to have had the time, space and freely-given information to plan and prepare for my new healthy lifestyle. I already feel so much better than I did when I arrived. Much love to you and look forward to meeting Michael one day. Chans xx
Thank you very much for the care and attention. I was not sure what to expect. It has been a great experience and going back a completely new person. Thank you again for a wonderful week. Lots of love, Nusreen
Thank you for the week. My mind and ego resisted (even though they brought me here) in the beginning and at times throughout but I can say that I am truly thankful for the experience. I appreciate the supportive atmosphere. The massages, colonics, iridology, yoga. Thank you. . See you all soon. Peace & Joy. Rachael xxx
Thank you dear House of Angels, Michael, Fiona and Araura. I am leaving here with a difference having brought the vital part of me, that so needed the help only you three could provide. At this new place of arrival I now begin. Many, many thanks. My stay here will remain in my heart forever. Love, peace and light. Teresa
I don’t know how many times I’ve said ‘WOW’ this week but I’ll say it again …. ‘WOW’. I’ve had a very profound week in the house of never ending talents. A huge heartfelt thank you for so openly sharing your knowledge, wisdom, talents and genuine hearts. I’ve had a ball here connecting with you, you hold a space of pure heartedness and enable a very joyous cleansing process. Endings and beginnings! Thank you for playing a huge role in the ‘Sophia’ journey! I feel so privileged to have crossed your paths. I have a feeling our paths will cross again. Love, Sophia
When I booked to come here I was so nervous and didn’t know what to expect but when I first walked through the door I was soon put at ease and had no need to worry at all. Michael, Fiona and Araura are an amazing team and have helped me so much. I can’t express in words how much I have enjoyed this week. It really has been a life changing experience for me and I have learnt so much. The team have so much knowledge and experience. I have tried to take as much of this on board as I can. I feel that this in a way is a new beginning for me. All I can say is thank you so so much for an amazing week. I have loved every minute. I’d also like to thank Sophia, Teresa and Sheila who have also helped me through this week. Although I have only been here for six days I have met some lovely, amazing people that I won’t ever forget about. I really do feel at home here. I’m sure you haven’t heard the last from me (sorry!). Thank you again, take care. Love, Sheree xx
All I can say is thank you! Will think of this experience often. Love and light. Sheila x
Thanks to everybody – what these guys don’t know about body cleansing is not worth knowing. Very caring, great fun, lots of laughs, thank you, thank you. Phil
Araura, Can there possibly he any mora?!!! Chew your meat!! Soon I’ll be able to see my feet!! But I’ll take it all without a bleet, to look so lovely, clean and sweet.
Fiona, I should have come soona, the detox was fine, all along the line. Potions and pills so we couldn’t keep still, juices galore and just one more pill!! Reflexology was great, certainly isn’t something I hate
Michael, soon I’ll be on the cycle! Wonderful bodywork, the detox went like clockwork. Great programme you’ve devised, Well done – it was so much fun. Many thanks – Carmel
I have experienced much love and compassion this week. Every individual need is catered for in such a relaxing unpressurised manner. The atmosphere is peaceful and filled with love. Many thanks to you all, love Patricia x
A *huge* thank you to both Araura and Michael for contributing in such a generous way to help make this one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had!! Both your intuition, integrity, intelligence and deep warmth make the Fisher King Centre an extra special place! My life has begun to start a new journey all over again – even though I never realised I had run out of momentum! I will never forget this experience ever!! Thank you. I will be back. Lots of love and kind thoughts Melua
P.S. I lost 17 lbs and feel wonderful inside and out!
Not the most conventional venue for a ‘stag’ do but I’m so glad I came. I feel completely revitalised (Dublin/Prague/Amsterdam – eat your hearts out!!!). This week has been an incredible journey and one I will never forget. I can honestly say that my experiences this week have changed my life – it’s only when I saw what came out of me did I fully appreciate what needs to go in! Michael, Araura thank you both so much for your guidance and help each day, especially during those difficult moments. Many thanks and a happy and peaceful Christmas to you all. Tony
P.S. If, like me, you are new to the world of colonics, you are definitely in the right place to start.
What a great start to the year – a spring board into the future. Many thanks to all this wonderful crew. I feel I’ve learned a lot in a simple straightforward way in an atmosphere of gentleness and love. Felix
I think this was a devine appointment! This week was absolutely stunning and certainly one of the best gifts I have had. I loved all the therapies, the relaxing atmosphere, the walk, the chats and laughter and my purple room was special. This week will always be remembered as a symbolic change in my life. I not only feel different but I have experienced major ‘shifts’ in some of my perspectives. You helped me see my life in a new positive way and helped me so much! Thank you for everything. This has been a beautiful, precious and special time. I just loved it. Love Anneline
Michael, Fiona & Everyone at the Fisher King Centre, This week has been incredible! I feel as though I accomplished everything I wanted to – I feel relaxed, cleansed & took everything in. You all were wonderful and cared for us unconditionally. What you do here is very special and I feel privileged to have experienced it for myself. I truly feel wonderful! I look forward to when we meet again. Carrie
Dearest ones, Once again you have lifted me beyond my greatest expectations to a new level of healing and well being. Thank you for all your love, Calie
I loved this healing, beautiful education among you lovely, gentle, spiritual souls. I do think this will change my life for the greater good of my body and soul. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I couldn’t have more respect for you all and what you have chosen to do. Much love. I know we will see each other again. Peggy Schrage
Grinch? Perhaps the word means a little too much – a bit too close to reality. This is the only place I’ve been able to relax in, and feel comfortable home from home – and believe me I’ve been looking for places. It has also been the only place anybody has taken my physical ailments seriously and given me some answers as to how to help myself without giving the impression it is all ridiculously in my mind. Thanks for being so great and caring even when I’m being difficult – and boy I know I am. Lots of love, Erica xx
P.S. I’m definitely going to take over your green caravan and squat in it!!! X
Felt very nervous at first, never done anything like this before. ‘What was going to happen to me, will I survive?’ What happened was a lovely peaceful quiet time of healing with very caring and knowledgeable people and yes I’ve survived. Now I feel stronger cleaner and lighter and inspired to look after my health. I can’t wait till I come again, I’m keen to do the liver flush!! Would recommend this process to anybody, in fact I think everybody deserves to do this and achieve full health. Thank you so much, the soup and lovely lunch were worth waiting for. Lots of love, Fiona – the Yorkshire one xx
Dearest Michael and Fiona. This week has been awesome and I feel renewed and refreshed. I really felt a big difference after the liver flush, after all that ropey, black yukky stuff came out of me. I had had no reaction to the niacin all week then last night I took one and had a full on reaction, showing me that I have regained my absorption! Very happy about this! Also, this morning I woke up feeling awake and refreshed for the first time in years! I also feel joyful and light, and much more capable of living life once again. Thanks so much for all your loving care and wisdom. You feel like family and I will miss you all. Many thanks also to Araura for cleaning me out and to Sam, Nikki and Dawn for their contributions. Have also quit the cigs but we’ll see if that lasts! Lots of love and thank yous and more love once again. Xxx
P.S. Eyesight seems clearer – stronger – and don’t need sunglasses in the sun
Lay down ye shackles fair pilgrim for thy way will n’er be the same again. ‘Tis a wondrous thing to be upon this land with ye fair maiden Fiona and the gallant Sir Michael who layeth a veritable feast afore ye, aft the demons are laid to rest! Verily I declare my allegiance to this place of healing, music, ye belly laughs and bottom purging. Farewell good people! And let the planets never fade from your crystals or fingers stop plucking ye strings – for they have plucked mine! With love, Sandra
Hi Michael, Araura and team. I thought I would drop you a line as I say your ‘ad’ in this month’s Health magazine and I have wanted, for a long time, to drop you a line to say hello!
I am not sure if you will remember me, my name is Deborah Finch and I came to see you in March 2001 for the six day cleanse with a friend of mine, Steph Prime?
If you remember, I was a little sceptical at first having never done a cleanse in my life but I was desperate for help as I was about to embark on round two of the IVF programme (round one failed) and really wanted children, in fact, I had to begin treatment (by injecting myself the IVF drug) on the last day of the cleanse!
Well, I had Harry in December of that year and then, by accident (well maybe not!) I fell pregnant seven months later (naturally) and gave birth to George in April 2003. Without a doubt I know I wouldn’t have achieved pregnancy with Harry without all your love and support throughout those six days and I still think of you often. Motherhood has been the greatest gift I have ever received and daily I thank my lucky stars for my children (oh and my sexy husband!)
I remember when we first arrived on a wet Sunday evening and you asked me if we would like a drink – I was just about to answer ‘gin and tonic please’ when you offered me a herbal tea with fresh ginger! Now I am a convert, we cook with fresh ginger and garlic all the time and I am one of the few people on this planet who likes peppermint tea!
I do hope you are all well and life is good and fun.
Lots of love to you all, Deborah Finch andyanddebfinch@aol.com
The healthy ‘Big Brother’ house! A wonderful place to relax, reflect and get healthy. Thank you all. Susan Bernstein
Michael, Fiona & Co, Thank you for being so supportive, non-judgemental and educational during my wonderful experience at the Fisher King Centre. The knowledge you have all given has highlighted what I already knew but felt I didn’t have the courage to get out of my comfort zone. It’s been a very ‘pleasant week.’ Warmest wishes Lynwen (Margaret)
Many thanks to everyone for giving me the kick start I needed for a healthier life. I believe this week will change and transform my life in all aspects. I acknowledge you all for your kindness, care and compassion. Very best wishes to you all now and always. Slan agus Beannecht. Suzette
Michael, Fiona & Araura, Who you are, what you do and the wisdom, grace and love you bring to your calling is absolutely essential for humanity. Thank you for choosing to follow this path. Blessings upon each of you, on all that you do and upon all with whom you connect. From my heart to yours – love and gratitude. Namaste, Kate. My thanks too (of course!) to Dawn, Niki and Samantha
Dear All, Thank you all so kindly for a really lovely time and I so look forward to meeting with you all again. You have made it all so easy and I look forward to the new challenges and changes that I have to face. May your clientele grow and you all continue the good work, love and calm that’s created around us all. I wish you the continual success in all you guys do. Lots of love, Michelle x P.S. Can’t wait for next year!!
What a unique and wonderful space. Run restless mood, from mounting heights, succour please, the rough to plain, come be quiet, nurture tranquil yes. Diolch yu faur, pawb. X Kate
Thank you to all the team. Araura – your light shines brightly, your understanding and gentleness made the whole process much more bearable, thank you so much. Fiona – your compassion and wisdom, your softness and strength and your radiant heart made this journey much more gently for me. I thank you. Michael – what can I say? 28/08/05 Peace of Mind,
Peace of Heart …
Peace of Soul …
And it all starts from the inside L x
‘We Feeeeeeel Good ….. da da da da da dum
Knew that we would now, .. .. .. .. ..

With much love and gratefulness to dearest Fiona, Michael, Dawn, Araura, Sam & Leis from Livarushnamaz Gayla Francis John Ronnie xxxxxxxxxxxx
. I came here four years ago and it made a huge difference to me then. I felt in need of a return visit and I haven’t been disappointed. I feel healthier and lighter in mind and body – and I’m sure my liver is singing my praises! Lovely company really helped. I’m sure I’ll be back again. Claire x
Dearest Michael, Fiona and Araura! My heartfelt thanks for a brilliant week. You all were so supportive and – Michael – opened your home to us. We felt really part of the family and utterly relaxed. Now I’m feeling lighter, brighter and full of energy. Must remember to chew my food better, though! With love and light, Karin
Everyone, as ever, thank you for a magical and alchemical experience. All my love, Lisa x
Thank you to everyone at the Fisher King Centre for an amazing journey. For allowing me to come into your home, sharing all your knowledge and skills. Even though I’m presently on a different plain I respect everything I’ve heard and learnt. A big thanks to Araura who I felt I connected to instantly and released me of so much. What an amazing journey, my heart felt wishes to you all. Love June xx
Dear Michael, Fiona, Araura, Dawn & Sam, Great time and great company. Detox and colonics, bodywork, acupuncture, iridology, good conversation were all great and worked wonders! I am light, bright and loads healthier. ‘By jove, I’ve got my MOJO back!’ I have learnt a lot and experienced great things. A great place. Thank you for your time, patience and wisdom. You do very good work and I’ll take that with me. Love and light, Preston x
Thank you for the relaxing week. The treatments were fabulous! My trousers feel looser than when I arrived. Thank you for sharing your home and all your generosity. Lots of love, Sandra xxx
Dearest all, Words cannot convey sufficiently my sense of gratitude and admiration for your rare sense of service and generosity of heart and spirit! May God bless you now and always. Many heartfelt thanks. Chrissie
Dearest Michael, Fiona & Araura, Heartfelt thanks for a wonderful experience. My world had become very grey and you have shown me colour again. You’ve cleaned me up and given me the strength to truly find myself and obtain contentment. Thank you so much! Lots of love, Louisa xxxx
Having dabbled in a few healthy escapades, this week as without doubt been unique in giving a rounded picture of the issues involved in ones physical being. Michael’s summary at the end leaves you with a definite sense that you now have the means to go forward with a sustainable and long-term lifestyle that is not in any way too difficult or expensive to follow.
Dear All, Ditto, ditto everything else previously said. I feel lighter and brighter and very optimistic about what life has to give. Clare x
I arrived with an open mind, an open heart and a willingness to receive whatever I needed. Now my cup runneth over!!!! I adore you Michael, Fiona and Araura. I honour you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. Nothing will ever be the same again. A door was opened to me and I am walking through it. You truly are a ‘gatekeeper’ Michael. Forever in my heart. God bless and thank you, love Julie. P.S. Don’t forget to let your child out to play!!!!! I will never forget the fun of that walk!
Thanks for a truly remarkable and wonderful experience and thanks to all the team for your incredible knowledge and expertise. It has been a life changing experience for both of us. Love and best wishes, Dennis Horner pacerden@yahoo.co.uk and Lynne Edmunds
Thank you for everything. I had no idea what to expect and initially found it hard. However, the caring atmosphere, the help and sharing of knowledge, carried me through into a new journey. Everyone here is the ‘crème de la crème!’ I feel so lucky. Thank you. Carole Hope
A challenging week but so worth the effort. Under Michael’s and his therapists expert and patient care I feel completely renewed. Thank you all so much. Joyce Elsden
Michael, Fiona & Araura, Thank you a thousand times!! I have never put myself through such a challenging week but I knew I needed to do it!! AND – here’s to many more years of renewed health. I feel reborn. Lots of love, Alex Forsyth
Bolshoi Spacebo, Michael, Fiona & Araura. ‘As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to change the world, but in being able to remake ourselves’ Mahatma Gandhi. A tall order – to remake ourselves but that is exactly what we discover we can do after a stay at the Fisher King Centre. 6 days of cleansing, juicing & colonics etc and I’m a new woman – or at least 10 years younger than the body I brought it! Add showers of kindness and doses of spiritual recharge, plus a welter of information as how to return to the world – such as it is – and survive confirms that Michael manifesting the Roman Way is a winner. Mega thanks, Om Shanti pbk PremaMataji. A joy to see so many smiling shots of the Dalai Lama about the abode. ‘My religion is kindness’ he says. One kind word can warm three winter months. Carol Bruce
Dear Michael, Fiona and Araura, Thank you for supporting and directing me through this worthwhile experience. You are all true professionals and I appreciate the benefits of your wonderful expertise. Michael I enjoyed our talks and the bodywork was amazing. Fiona thank you for the wonderful reflexology and the enlightening chats we enjoyed. Araura, your gentle kind approach with humour made the colonics from bearable to pleasurable! Thank you also to Andrea and Nicky for the iridology and Yoga sessions both informative and enjoyable. Now after all your input and support I intend to work at my progress and not waste this wonderful opportunity. Love and blessings, Anne
Dearest Michael, Fiona & Araura, What can I say? I guess the third one was the charm for me. Such profound deep healing and the ease I feel being with you healing angels has touched me so deeply. Special thanks to you Michael for my Buddha book. It will be near my altar at home. Thank you Fiona for the lovely gift and Araura for your persistent, soft boundless energy. What you do really serves on such a deep level. I cherish and love this place and hope to see you next year. You know you all have a place to stay if you’re coming to the Boston area. With deep love and gratitude. Namaste Calie
P.S. Thanks Juliet for the Matraiya connection and Sam for your soft sweet strong presence.
Dear Michael, Fiona, Araura, Juliet, Sam. Thank you all so much for an amazing experience of unfolding physically and mentally in this week of truth. You are all very generous souls and I’m honoured to have met you all. Looking forward to seeing you next year with my lovely pals Calie and Peggy-Loo. Lots of love, Tilly xxxx
Dearest Michael, Fiona, Araura, Sam & Sally, This was another wondrous week of love, learning, growing, discovering. I am always astounded at the levels of love and spirituality you all radiate. What a wonderful way to live! Definitely a state for which to strive. This year it was like coming home! I loved every second! Have a beautiful year – we’ll be back! Love, Peggy Schrage, Marblehead, MA
P.S. Thank you for ‘Old Chinese’ and all my new winged friends
Dear All, I feel I have awakened from a long sleep, not a nourishing peaceful slumber, more an entombment. Thank you for waking my body and soul. I feel more alive than I have for about 3 years. Life for me has always been a journey towards fulfilment. I feel so honoured and blessed to have met you all. Each has given me something memorable that will sustain me on my journey. I will certainly pass this way again. My love and thanks to you all. Julia
This has been fantastic, all that I hoped it would be and more, I feel better that I could imagine. Thank you for your support and the way that you all held me through the experience. Araura, thank you for the flower, for the healing and your gently strength. There is so much love and support here from everyone and each person who comes here will benefit in some way. I have benefited enormously and feel so much stronger and able to face the changes that are happening in my life. Thank you all – I am so glad I found you. Catherine xx
Dearest Michael, Fiona & Araura, Very special thanks to the ‘trinity’ at the FK Centre who did the impossible and helped me to put ‘humpty’ back together again. I’m so grateful for all the love, wisdom and kindness and bless you all. Much love, Susie A x
Dearest Michael, Fiona and Araura, ‘Here comes the Sun’ and some. Thank you. Love Joanne x
God Bless you Beautiful Family for all your mighty support and loving kindness. Mushi Meningi xxx
Dear Fiona, Araura and Michael, Whatever I write here is inadequate as a way of expressing my thanks. Coming here was in itself a huge challenge and I wondered if I could rise to another. I need not have feared! Instead I have found the process comfortable, nurturing and supportive and have gained in strength and wisdom from each of you. I am leaving here feeling more awake, alert and energetic than I have done for years. I have gained not just physically but also emotionally and psychologically from my stay here. Each of you is very special in your own way and each has given to me unsparingly – for that I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope to see you all again. Meanwhile, my love, thanks and good wishes. Teri x
What can I say to you all except a very big thank you for an extraordinary wonderful week. Your generosity is very humbling. I know we will meet again. Lots of love, Julia and Becky
Thank you so, so much. I have a long way to go. You have started me on a journey that I am ready to start. Xxxxxx Becky
April 2006 ‘Abbreviations do harm to knowledge, and to love. The love of anything being the offspring of the knowledge’ da Vinci. Beneath the sounds of chattering there is an ear pressed intently to the well wall. Behind the smile of the child the old man sits back to the ancient druids tree, breathing deep into his being! Thank you for the beauty of simplicity. The space for heart, mind, spirit to fly free. Thank you for your energy and your love. Your compassion and your silence. Love to you all, Felix
Easter Friday 2006 Dearest Michael, Fiona, Araura and all. Hard to find words to do justice to your blissful services here but because I am very grateful I must at least try! Thank you for sharing your inner beauties with me. This is my gift to you … Thank you Michael for your humility, utter brilliance, wisdom, loving, sharing, caring, compassion, touching, teachings, dedication to truth and infinite talents – funny too! Thank you Fiona for your splendid bright sparkle, untiring enthusiasm, impish fun nature, loving, caring, warmth, knowledge and celestial cooking skills. Yum, yum! Thank you Araura for your gentleness, joyfulness, sensitivity, kindness, loving patience, body wisdom and serenity. Thanks to all for creating a sacred space and sanctuary for weary travellers and sleepy grizzly bears to awaken into springtime with your host of heavenly helpers. Thanks for creating a beautiful garden for the devic kingdom to play in. Mostly thank you for just being you and allowing me, Shirley and Jenny to sit with the masters awhile and receive some heartfelt inspiration and teachings of living, loving and laughing! God bless you, I love you, Peace be with you. Baruch Basham Carrie xxxxxxxxx
Thank you so much for all your care and support this week. It has been a really rewarding experience although challenging at times. Thank you as well for all the knowledge you have shared with me and for patiently answering the hundreds of questions I asked. I feel I have started on a journey that I now have the strength to continue on my own. Kate
What an amazing week. We were all feeling poorly and tired and stressed and we leave completely renewed, uplifted and energized, totally transformed, strengthened. Every body here has been so kind, the most wonderful treatments and unending amounts of information. All the therapies were fabulous, the best ever. I was so lucky to have 2 lovely women with me, we will be friends for ever, truly bonded. With love to you all, Maggie
Thank you all so much, you have so enriched my life and helped me to find my inner self. It has been deeply fulfilling, comforting, physically and emotionally cleansing and re-energizing. Your support and warmth and nurturing and wisdom has been immeasurable. I feel I am leaving you with a silver thread running through me like a mountain stream. You have turned on a light. Thank you. Catherine Thomas, Wales
Difficult to put into words but this week really has changed my life – I feel fantastic and have a clarity of mind and body and soul. Thank you so much for all that you have given me and for looking after us so well, and the treatments were amazing. My very best wishes. Rachel Moffat x
What an incredible oasis of rejuvenation! I have thoroughly enjoyed my solitary week with you all and have loved every minute of it! I had no idea how the week would unfold but was thrilled to learn of each day’s treat(ments!) I am especially happy to have found so many like minded/open minded individuals who share so many of the interests that I feel most passionate about. Thank you for the renewed energy I feel, the conviction to carry it forth and the clarity with which to see life again. I will be back! Much love, Kendra Sandford
Dear Fiona and Michael, Thank you so much for this special week, and for your kindness. The microwave’s on the way to the tip and I’m on my way to the top! I shall try to remember all you have told me. Success and happiness in everything you do. Love and thanks, Noreen xxx
Individually brilliant, collectively amazing. Beautiful people, great love. Bowel-less, liver-less, Nigel xxx
The cards were stacked against us
A strange and daunting feeling
The Fisher King then entered
Shuffled and started dealing
He showed his cards – a winning hand
(In the room there fell a hush)
The King was followed by six Queens
A successful Royal Flush
Dear Fiona, Michael, Araura, Isaac. It’s difficult to find the words that adequately express how much I appreciate all your help, care, information, insights, wisdom, love. This week really has been like a journey and each treatment, each conversation, each of my body’s healing phases has taken me so perfectly, so harmoniously to the new place that I’m in now as I leave. Michael’s bodywork and wisdom, Fiona’s insights, warmth, reflexology, Araura’s perseverance and gentle guidance through the colonics, the instant trust and empathy I felt with Andrea. Lise’s yoga lesson was so perfect – she is such a good teacher, so clear, so gentle, and finally Samantha’s stress busting acupuncture and aromatherapy – well by this time I was nearly out of orbit. Oh and then there was the Yew tree and the spring head, and Gabby eating her headphones and the Ohm and Isaac’s purrs and the beech trees in the garden and … As I say, words are so inadequate. Loads of love from Hannah xxxx
Dearest Michael, Fiona and Support Goddesses! You have created the purrfect (Isaac) balance for me here. The balance of discipline and love, caring and privacy. You have allowed me to have and be in my own process, which was so important. I always knew I could come to you for support at any time. Thank you for seeing ME! and for helping me to remember HER. Sensory memories of Fisher King:

I am forever grateful and leave you (for now) BLISSFUL! Much love and laughter, Heidi xoxo
Thanks very much to everyone. Really great team. Could not make the next moves for the future without this experience. Thank you. Iris
With many, many thanks. I am so grateful to both of you. I am really looking forward to embracing all the changes that I can already feel arising from this experience and will go away with my interest and enthusiasm for food restored once again. A completely transformational time on so many levels. I will be forever gratefull to you for what I have received here. Lynn. lynnplayford@gmail.com
Michael, Fiona and team
Thank you, thank you. I have made an amazing journey this week, one that I had wanted/needed so much… Finding such safe hands to do it in has been heart-warming, I have loved every minute. I now feel equipped to make changes to my life that will benefit everyone and thing that I hold dear. Gabriella you are fab! Juice cocktails are the way to go.
Dear Michael and Fiona, This is Frank’s and my second time in your beautiful home so we knew what to expect (detox and food withdrawal!). No, but thank you SO much for a wonderful week of being looked after, pampered and pummelled most lovingly. I really needed that after months (years?) of stress in my job and ‘running on empty’. Michael, your shiatsu bodywork has become even more focused, intuitive and beneficial, and Fiona, your reflexology treatments are awesome (instant results!) We really enjoyed the Halloween bonfire party with laughter and storytelling- so thank you for sharing that with us! The walk on the Gemini of the Glastonbury Zodiac (Dunston Shmanston?) was absolutely majik, especially Michael’s story about Parsifal and his ‘bountiful ladies’… Thank you also, Michael, for spontaneously getting us the DVD about the Kingston Zodiac – very interesting, as was the rest of our ‘education’ here: all you ever wanted to know about nutrition/digestion and never dared to ask! Well cleansed and filled with positive energy, we will now be able to face the world again (and our juicer at home) with a spring in our step and a smile on our face! Lots of love, Andrea
What else can I add? Lovely people, lovely atmosphere, really caring!!! Thank you Michael and Fiona for a very special week. I FEEL CLEAN AGAIN. Luv n hugs, Frank x
Michael, Fiona, I’ve mentioned the T.Y. word so often this week and finally another very appreciative and sincere thank you for my huge wake up call and renewed health path. Araura my thanks too for your care and counselling inviting me to journey along with some unbelievable intestinal inhibitions … may the South African continent be healed by your wisdom and incredible nurturing. A formidable team. My love, Marita
I’ve been here several times now but this time it was the first time in a French bed. I enjoyed the week with all of you and I will never forget the chilli afterwards. Lots of love, Zarmina and Peter
Thank you for helping me clean my act up, what a great start to the year feeling this good inside can only reflect on the outside and with what I have learnt I will continue the good work. A special thanks from my liver. Laurie Greenard
What a great way to start the year! Talk about going ‘cold turkey’ after Christmas! I feel both physically and mentally renewed and feel my attitude both to food and my body has changed dramatically – I have more respect for what I will put in now I know what comes out! Thank you to Michael, Fiona and Araura for making the whole process so restful and enjoyable and allowing me to talk. I will be back in a few years. Thank you from the bottom of my clean colon. All my love, Faith xxxx
Not for the faint hearted! Unique cleansing treatment that actually does cleanse the body. From sixty to zero cigarettes in just one week thanks to the Fisher King Centre.
Many thanks. Hazel Greenard
Life Saving Treatment Michael and Fiona thank you for making my stay wholesome from beginning to end. Thank you for acknowledging my needs. Thank you for embracing me for who I am and letting me feel at home. Thank you for your generosity of giving additional and inspired information. Thank you for so much affirmation and opportunity to self-correct. As a mother of four wonderful children age 8 to 20 years this is the first time I have been away from home for more than 2 days. It is wonderful to be here on a focused period of 6 days looking and working on my own healing journey. It’s been a really tough regime taking these drinks etc. I knew if I could make it to Wednesday I could complete the journey. Well, the liver cleanse – what an experience and a half. My best treatment was the deep tissue body massage. The most enjoyable treatment was the aromatherapy and acupuncture. I feared the colon therapy at first but was so encouraged all the way through, it has made a great difference to my perception. Last but not least I have been blessed to be in the company of 2 other women who have shown care and friendship. We are Sikh, Muslim and Buddhist. What a beautiful combination of down to earth women. Fiona and Michael keep up the good work. The first meal was so fabulous and comforting. I feel it can only get better from here. Juney Mental Health Promotion Coordinator
Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for the wonderful experience. I truly needed a kick up the backside and someone to believe I could get better. All the treatments have been fantastic and I truly believe I will not go back to old ways. Thanks for the wonderful company BJ and Juney. My ‘big brother’ experience has been so inspirational. I feel like a different person. Thank you all. Sati xx
Second time for me and just as remarkable. Thanks to everybody. Love to all. Dennis Horner
Thank you for an amazing week! So different from what I expected but a brilliant plan in the way that all the elements work together to really create a change – physically and mentally. Also everyone working on the programme is so special in their own way so it seems like they each provided a different necessary part to the changing process. I’d always recommend coming here. Thank you so much again. Iris
Dear Michael and Fiona. Thank you for all your kindness, hospitality and wonderful insights. I don’t regret coming for one second. It was truly a fulfilling, enlightening experience which I would recommend to anyone…. and will! All my fellow fasters were such lovely, interesting people that it made the fast that much more tolerable and manageable. The support from all was fabulous. I will take away so much from this week. I can’t thank you enough. Hopefully see you in six months time,lots of luv, Jason x
Well I did it! What an experience. Amazing to see what comes out of by body. Respect in future what goes in. No more burgers and chips. This week has been one of pleasure and pain but the future is bright. Caroline and I have had a great week together here. Thank you Michael, Fiona, of course Araura and all the team. We will be back. Love Peter and Caroline
Thank you to all the team for supporting and helping me in my detox programme. Got some very relevant advice and the knowledge of all is very impressive. Got a long way to go for perfect health but will do my best. Thank you. Magalie
Michael, Miranda and the other Angels. Wow! What an amazing experience. Thank you so much for the work you are doing here. I feel ready to go out there anew and face life again. Thank you for all your love. Davinder xxx
To Michael, Miranda, Araura and Andrea. Thank you for your knowledge and energy. I have improved on so many levels this week. My fellow guests, Tony, Claire and David have also supported me and for that I thank them also. Please continue this great work as I am confident that everyone can make a huge positive change to their life by coming here as I have. Love to you all.
Thank you to all you wonderful carers and guides. As you know this is my third time coming here. Methinks that speaks for itself.
Song: May the Spirit of the Goddess Rest within you.
May her peace abide in you
May her spirit illuminate your soul
Now and forever more
Love, light and THANKS! Dee (or Old Irish)
Michael and Fiona, thank you for impacting and changing my life. What a beautiful, sensitive man you are. Bless everythingPaul Winter you do and everyone you meet. Eric
Well, what a fantastic team you all are. I felt safe and cared for. My journey was incredible and I received so much more than I ever thought possible. I did question my sanity mid-way through the liver flush though! But as you said, I felt so fantastic once through the other side. Having got rid of all the ‘crap’ from my system now there’s no way I’ll be putting ‘crap’ back in. I am no longer ‘stuck’ at this present time as I was when I arrived, all thanks to your cleansing and wonderful words of wisdom. I can go back into the big wide world and tackle the problems one by one, putting them behind me once completed. It truly is the best present I’ve ever given myself. ‘When you’re down and troubled and you need some loving care….’ Call Michael and Fiona (or any of the team). Thank you very much… Angela xx
To dear Michael, Fiona and Araura. Words cannot express my deep gratitude for how I feel, in which this week has been truly life changing. I came with two aspirations, firstly the physical, as someone who has abused his body in the past, I feel after this week I am totally at one with my body again. I feel fantastic. I have learnt so much, that we are truly what we eat! Secondly the emotional and spiritual, in which I had the most amazing emotional release from my rage, anger and sense of abandonment as a little boy that had been trapped within my solar plexus, holding me back all my life. The release was totally mind blowing, and a great weight has now been lifted from me, allowing me to be free, with a much more expanded state of consciousness. A truly mind, body, spirit experience. I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart. You are truly all Earth Angels. Love and God bless. Andrew x
Both inner and outer self has somehow been released. I am very grateful for the care, attention and love that has been given to me. Thank you so much. Julia
I feel an inner calm that has previously eluded me for 60 years. What can I say – thank you seems really inadequate. I’ve been held in such a safe – yet challenging – place. I will be back. Catherine xxx
I am inarticulate (for once) with the new possibilities for healing, growth and self work. A blessing to be with Cath and Julia. Hard work – but necessary – so necessary. Fiona was an angel. And I will do it! Thank you. Thank you. Jane
If the third time was the charm for me then what do I call the forth? Whew!!!! Made it through the best cleanse ever. These are really cumulative, aren’t they? And so is my love for all of you, Michael, Araura, Fiona, Andrea, Sam, Lys – what healing beings you all are. I love you all. Calie
Without a doubt, one of the best weeks of my life. You have allbeen truly wonderful and I have felt safe, nurtured and loved. I, too, thank you from the bottom of my heart and I leave with an empty colon, but definitely a full heart! This has been a truly rewarding journey and I am blessed to have been able to share it with all of you at the Fisher King Centre and so lucky to have had Pauline for my companion. Some things are meant to be and this definitely was. I know I am only at the beginning of the journey but thanks to you all I know I can get there and I know it’s the right journey for me. I will be back – how could I not?! I wish you all love and light and your heart’s desire. Sarah xxx
Dear Michael, Fiona and your wonderful team. I came with an open mind and to empty my colon. I’ve left with a full heart. All my love, Matt xxx
Dearest Michael and Fiona. Thank you all for the unconditional support and understanding given. I’ve found inner harmony and fulfilment again. Slan Helen x
To the Wonderful People! Michael, Fiona, Araura, Sally, Sophie, Andrea, Lou and all the family. A journey of discovery through releasing! Wow, who’d a thought it!!!
Thank you all so very much for sharing all that you are. You have brought such joy to my heart. I truly can’t thank you enough but here I go ….. Peace be with you all, Nikki xx
Until we meet again you have my love x
To everyone who has touched my life during my stay at this wonderful warm and welcoming ‘home’. Thank you so much. I have learned valuable lessons from you all, the most valuable one ‘ To love myself more’. Today is the ‘end’ but if you’re not afraid of what love brings, then ‘endings’ are beginnings of beautiful things. I leave looking forward to harmony inside myself, and ‘beautiful things’. Fiona – thank you for sharing your musical talents – it was an absolute pleasure. I look forward to a copy of ‘Mother Nona’s Recipe Book. With my fondest love to you all, Wendy
I had written my thank you’s before breakfast and lunch so really do have to write a bit more!!
Michael – It has been such a great experience. Your knowledge, skills and talents have inspired and encouraged me. Your love for your work is a blessing for us all.
Fiona – Breakfast and lunch. AMAZING. I want to move in!!
Araura – Thank you so much for being as excited as I was about what went down the tube!!
Sam – Thank you for the gently and nurturing treatment – just what the doctor ordered after the colonic
Michael – Many thanks for everything. Your pearls of wisdom, the wonderful walk and positive read.
Many thanks to you all. Stay blessed. Love Michael Cole
P.S. New mantra is ‘willpower’
As the ancient ones seep through
And the toxic tensions ease
I slow breathe in
Forgiveness for me
Masks tumble away
As this healing space rejuvenates
My body, heart and soul
So much more than foretold
Alchemical gold
As the healing unfolds
And I am able to let go
Unafraid to fall in
Knowing you are holding me
And so thank you’s seem too thin
For the blessings that you bring
I feel honoured to have met you
And unlike the ancient ones
I will never forget you
Michelle
What an amazing week. Thank you all so very much for making this such an incredible experience on so many levels! Michael, your experience, knowledge and knowing knows no bounds. Fiona, your wonderful enthusiasm and care is so welcome. Araura, how could I get through a colonic without you!! Sam, your gentleness and presence was so lovely. Lys, a fantastic class, and a great teacher. Sophie, fabulous feeling in my feet and a lovely chat. Lou, shiatsu to die for!!
I met on my journey Michelle, Josie and Matt. Thank you for making it so special. So onwards and upwards – a clean me and a new me!! Denise xx
Fiona, Michael, Araura and other wonders. Thank you’s don’t seem enough.. not enough substance somehow (after all the substance expelled!) I have been so very touched and often overwhelmed by the genuine care, love and compassion you bring to this amazing work – all of you. This unique quality paired with expertise and knowledge so grounded, researched and solid creates the most special and life changing experience. It has been a privilege to share the beginning of our journey as a new family with you, and I know the experiences here have enabled me to release so much of the fear and anxiety I’ve been holding on to and I believe I can really experience this pregnancy in a way I wouldn’t have been able to if I had not come here. Many blessings on you all with much love and deep gratitude. Josie
Many thanks for an incredible time. Much healing and new hopes for the future. Matt
To Michael, Fiona and Araura and everyone else who has made this a wonderful and relatively painless experience. I am leaving with a spanking clean body, a clearer head and a healthier outlook on life. Thank you so much! Laura P.S. I couldn’t have done it without my detox buddies Claire and Susi! Xx
It has been an absolute honour to meet you both Michael and Fiona. And I could not have got through the colonics without you Araura (I’ll say hello to Prince for you!) It’s been a good week and we are all on a new path of health and vitality. With love from Susi, Fiona and Claire
