His clinical and therapeutic experience provides him with an in depth knowledge of preventative medicine, holistic wellbeing and client management from general health to chronic disease.

Ozone therapy has been included in this program because it has been shown to have various benefits in improving peak fitness for people of all levels of ability. Ozone is super charged oxygen that revitalizes every biochemical pathway in the body at a cellular level. The treatments will support the body against free radical fall out caused by toxins being released back into the blood circulation; which decreases any cleansing reactions during your detox. It boosts the immunity and breakdown of viral, bacterial and fungicidal pathogens, and releases more free oxygen into blood circulation at a cellular level, thereby improving energy, decreasing recovery time and stabilizing the hormone system. Ozone Therapy has been studied in regards to peak physical conditioning and has been shown to have the following beneficial qualities: It increases stamina - people were able to maintain a longer time periods of physical exertion. Their recovery rate was reduced and their glucose management was also stabilised.

In addition to the ozone therapy, yoga teachers and nutrition experts will complement Angela’s work with you as you take part in a full schedule of exercise classes, yoga and other activities. This programme will give you a comprehensive toolkit to start implementing long lasting and meaningful changes for a healthier and happier way of living. Our training program is designed to increase your strength and improve your cardiovascular fitness and much of the time you will be out in nature. Expect low-impact cardiovascular work such as walking and cycling; interval training; circuit classes; Boxfit classes; strength training and resistance work.

A daily yoga class will complement the fitness work by helping to stretch and relax the body.
