The private retreat · Most private
The seven-week programme, with the house and the team to yourself
No other guests during your week in Malta. The medical team and the therapists are there only for you, and the week is planned around you.
What changes when it is private
No other guests
For your week in Malta the house is yours: the rooms, the courtyard, the pool and the garden.
A team only for you
The doctors, nurses and therapists work with you alone. Integration on the island is one to one.
A week planned around you
Sessions, rest and activities are set to your pace, without fitting around a group.
Discretion
Complete confidentiality, from the first call to the last integration session.

Who chooses it

Questions about the private retreat
How is it different from the seven-week programme?
The programme is the same. The difference is your week in Malta: no other guests, the team works only with you, and the week is planned around you.
How long am I away from home?
One week. The preparation and the integration happen online, from home. Flights are not included. We meet you at the airport and arrange the transfer.
How are the dates chosen?
We agree them with you on the call.
What does it cost?
More than the seven-week programme, because the house and the team are yours for the week. Alex gives you the exact figure on the call.
