The red-carpet detox

26.04.10

Gwinganna Lifestyle Retreat in the Gold Coast hinterland hosts many celebrities looking to unwind and recharge: Peter Morrissey, Hugh Jackman, his wife Deborra-Lee Furness, and Charlotte Dawson all swear by the healing powers of the spa.

So if they're doing it, as a celebrity writer I won't be far behind. I convinced my mum to come along (funnily enough, it didn't take much arm twisting) to try the villas at Gwinganna and spend four days experiencing "A Feast of Nutrition". This course encourages you to be positive about eating for your health, understand why you comfort-eat and the body's hormonal response to certain foods. It's not, as my mother was concerned, "a boot camp for vegans".

It's the opposite. There are great seminars such as "Making your liver your friend", "Moods and foods" and "Constructing balanced meals". There are even cooking classes so you can see the theory come to life. Ah, laughing and learning, it's the way of the future.

Mum and I checked into the magnificent villa. It has two bedrooms with an adjoining lounge room and a joint balcony with an infinity plunge pool.
