The 7-day Ayurvedic detox protocol has not changed since 2015 because it works. What has changed though, besides the world in general, is that my recipes and products are more refined, my fasting menus more gentle, and my delivery more succinct. My understanding of the miracle that is the human body continues to expand.
The detox retreat at Kichic is an honouring of our bodies’ desire to hold more light, which requires the release of our physical and energetic junk.
The Amaveda panchakarma detox is luxurious, pleasurable and easy.

“I could see changes from the first day! Every day I felt so happy for making this investment in my life….”
“This retreat shifted me on levels that I did not know was possible, I left with a highly functional and thriving body, as well as a plan of action to achieve my goals, intuitively and concretely.”
“Quedé sorprendido con la estructura, el nivel de detalle, la calidad de los productos, la personalización y la asistencia personal de este programa, esta experiencia fue transformadora y no podría estar más agradecido con Emily por haber usado su acervo de conocimientos para crear un programa como este”.
“Nunca me sentí mejor. He mejorado en todo aspecto: emocional, físico, mental. Me ayudó a liberarme de algunas cosas innecesarias que creía importantes en mi vida y esto hizo que me encontrara con mi verdadera esencia y conectarme con ella.”
The Amaveda Panchakarma detox is a multidimensional Ayurveda-inspired protocol encouraging body and mind optimisation. The success of the protocol is accredited to its focus on ease, luxury and deep relaxation. The process supports the exploration of self, with no pain or suffering involved. Guests finish the Amaveda Panchakarma feeling light, joyous, reconnected to self, mentally clear and excited for positive change. To date, we have run 7 Panchakarma detox retreats at Kichic, dating back to 2015.

KICHIC HOTEL
KiChic is undoubtedly one of the most stunning and luxurious beach destinations in Peru. Kichic is laid-back, intimate and elegant. This hotel effortlessly creates a deep state of relaxation with its soft tones and plenitude of lounging spaces. Kichic boasts a beautiful yoga shala and some of the most refined and stylish rooms in South America. The Amaveda Retreat will hold all rooms in the hotel bringing next level tranquillity and exclusivity.
AMAVEDA PRODUCTS + THE BIO SPA
All guests receive the Amaveda Detox Product Collection containing 100% natural products. The products teach Ayurvedic daily self-care practices, detox treatments and beauty rituals. Amaveda products are used throughout the detox week and beyond.
The BIO SPA workshop fuses the alchemy of salt, fat, clay, muds and high-resonance aromatics to create beautifying products that work harmoniously with the skin’s microbiome, supporting the whole-body detox process.
YOGA | BREATH | MOVEMENT | MANTRA | MEDITATION
MOVEMENT EVERY DAY. We have invited some incredible movement practitioners to help us play in this gorgeous space. We will also be exploring the essential ‘art of chill’ and its fundamental roll in detox and rejuvenation protocols via binaural beats, Yoga Nidra and many other techniques.
FUNCTIONAL FASTING
Consuming only nutrient-dense function-food extracts, broths, soups, teas and electrolyte tonics is the best way to assist the body in breaking down fat reserves and encourage cellular rejuvenation and repair. Period. You will be guided through an insanely-easy and totally delicious three-day liquid fast, allowing you to experience for yourself how fasting with the correct preparation radically up-levels the physical, energetic and mental body. We make fasting a culinary journey.
HEALING WITH FOOD
All the delicious and beautiful food is crafted to provide complete digestive system restoration. Meals are based on Ayurvedic mono-diet healing, macrobiotics, pre and probiotic foods, all fuelled by organic-as-possible, locally-sourced food. Peru, as our source, allows us to draw from the most potent and nutrient-dense foods and botanicals on Earth. In this program, there is no starving or suffering involved.
THE PERUVIAN PHARMACOPOEIA
Utilising raw ingredients from Peru draws from one of Earth’s most potent sources of natural healing botanicals, not to mention home to some of the most nutrient-dense food on earth. Many of Peru’s revered Amazonian botanicals and famous superfoods appear in the retreat products, treatments and of course diet: directly from source
THE CURATIVE KITCHEN WORKSHOP
During the retreat, we have access to kichic’s fabulous open kitchen where we will run the ‘Curative Kitchen’ workshop. The post-detox period that follows the detox is an incredible opportunity to continue to feed your clean body with healthy foods- so it’s extremely beneficial to leave the retreat week with new healing food recipes, fully armed and empowered!
