The retreat is led by Ivor, a knowledgeable practitioner who offers personalised consultations and tailored herbal protocols, earning consistent praise from visitors for his respectful approach and depth of expertise. The programme has drawn guests seeking everything from general detoxing and weight management to more serious health-focused goals. Visitors describe the experience as peaceful and well-structured, with herbal detox protocols that are reported to be gentle enough to follow without persistent hunger, while still delivering noticeable results such as increased energy and weight reduction. The atmosphere carries a sense of calm and attentiveness, with care described as woven into every aspect of the stay. Multi-day and extended programmes appear to be the retreat's primary offering, with some guests completing 14-day cleanses.

Visitor Reviews
My father was diagnosed with stage fourth laryngeal cancer last year, they said he wouldn't live for more than six months. So we refused chemotherapy and opted for a natural cure. I emailed Ivor at that time and he responded immediately, giving us very helpful guidance on how to change our diet and incorporate some of his herbal formulas. The lung and liver formulas helped improve my father's lungs and liver, which the doctors said had metastasized. We had a liver flush and it also helped him feel better. He slept well and ate better, and after almost a year he's still healthy and able to reintegrate into life. I am truly grateful to Ivor and his herbal formulas once again.
The best weight loss program in Koh Samui! I came to The Source for a deep cleanse, not specifically for weight loss, but I still ended up dropping 5kg in 14 days without even trying. The real transformation was my gut. My digestion reset completely, my energy came back, and I felt clearer mentally and emotionally. The herbal formulas are powerful, the guidance is simple to follow, and the whole process felt supportive from start to finish. If you want a proper reset and a genuine internal cleanout, this is the place. I’d recommend it to anyone especially those wanting to lose weight
My call with Ivor was fantastic. He is a respectful person and provided valuable information and knowledge that will help me reach the desired results. My impression after the consultation is that this place is definitely worth trying. Soon, I look forward to meet him on person then, start the 14 days master herbal detox program. Where its all naturals not chemicals. Many thanks to Ivor, he is truly a wonderful personality, full with valuable knowledge.

Tips for Visiting Wellness & Spas
Learn Wat Pho First
Wat Pho in Bangkok is the birthplace of traditional Thai massage education. Their on-site massage pavilion offers excellent treatments from students and graduates at reasonable prices — and you know the technique is authentic.
Communicate Pressure Preferences
Thai massage can be intense. Say 'bao bao' for lighter pressure or 'nак nак' for harder. A good therapist will check in, but don't hesitate to speak up — suffering in silence defeats the purpose.
Book Longer Sessions
A 60-minute massage is fine, but 90 or 120 minutes allows the therapist to work thoroughly. The price difference is often only 200–400 THB for an extra hour — worth it for a deeper, more relaxing experience.
