The clinic has 44 places to sleep, in twin rooms and apartments, all with private bathrooms and furnished in warm colours. Meals are vegetarian and included across the programmes, with Kangen alkaline water, herbal and fruit teas, cold-pressed juices and healthy snacks available through the day. Some guests mention vegan, gluten-free and sugar-free food in their reviews, so the kitchen clearly adapts.

A typical Relax Detox day mixes light movement with spa time. You might run in the grounds or take one of the house bikes out, use the cardio room, join a session in the Yoga Sanctuary, then move between the wet sauna (with propolis, pollen, honey and essential oil infusions), the dry sauna, the jacuzzi and the outdoor pool. The chromotherapy room is there for quieter time. Grounding in the garden and walks through the forest, the orchard or the lavender and roses are part of the programme rather than an add-on.

The Vipassana programme, called Silentis, runs year-round and is self-guided. There is no teacher leading meditations; the environment does the work. No television, no ambient noise, communication in writing only, and silence treated as the default rather than a rule being enforced. Reading and writing are encouraged. Staff keep the space quiet from check-in to check-out.

Dark Room Therapy is the most involved option. Day one is a discussion with Dr Vanessa Youness to set your intention, an introduction to the process, and a gradual move into darkness. The middle days are spent in a single therapeutic room, fully sealed against light, with guided sessions and individual support, plus daily one-to-one sessions with Dr Youness depending on the length of the edition you book. The final day is a gradual return to light and an integration talk, so the experience carries back into normal life rather than staying in the room.

Dr Vanessa Youness trained in medicine and pharmacy at Iuliu Hațieganu in Cluj-Napoca and specialised in post-traumatic reconstructive surgery. She was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis 16 years ago during her specialisation, which shifted her towards an integrative, psychosomatic view of health. She built the clinic herself and is closely involved in its running.

The location is at 80 Constantin Brâncoveanu St., Dâmbovița County, roughly 30 minutes from central Bucharest by car and about 50 km from Henri Coandă International Airport — around an hour depending on traffic. Free private parking is available, and directions are sent after booking.
