About Us
Founder Rian once suffered with chronic fatigue. Desperately searching to improve her health, she looked for a detox fasting centre only to find they all cost thousands of pounds. Eventually, she healed and then trained at Florida’s Hippocrates Health Institute as a Health Educator. In 2009, she opened Health Etcetera, a juice fasting retreat.
Upon her return from the Hippocrates, Rian was determined to open the detox retreat she had wanted to find when she was sick but had little disposable income. She felt she didn’t need a hotel style service, just somewhere nice and clean that offered fresh juices several times a day where guests would feel safe and supported.
After 13 years of running a successful retreat in both Winchester and London, she came across Anthony William, aka the Medical Medium, and felt his teachings were invaluable in her quest to help others achieve better health.
Having experienced his protocols, Rian understood that most people would struggle to implement them by themselves. Hence, she set out to open a branch in Málaga where she would enable people to undertake his programmes.
To mark this new direction, Rian changed the company name to BronLar, which means home of new beginnings, as this expresses the essence of the business.
As well as being a Hippocrates Health Educator, Rian is also a colonic hydrotherapist and a meditation teacher. She is passionate about transforming people’s lives. She has written several e-books and spoken in national and international venues.
Her clients often comment on her warmth and easy-going charm. Her approach is both practical and personal. Whether you are lucky enough to be under her care at BronLar or you consult with her over the phone, Rian makes you feel she truly cares about your welfare while offering her extensive knowledge with your best interests at heart.
Testimonials
Rian is the very very best at what she does. I have followed her business from Winchester to London and now to Spain. Both the London and Malaga venues are lovely but it is Rian’s presence that makes the experience so enjoyable and nurturing. But if you fancy some sunshine go to her exquisite villa on the Costa del Sol, smell the jasmine in the calles, take in the orange and lemon trees, and be nourished by the blue skies and embraced by the mountains.
New Me
I first came to BronLar five years ago after having suffered with an eating disorder for over 40 years.. I have 36 years of clean time with other addictions, but the food was always a struggle, and I wanted to be free from that struggle. The first time I met Rian she said 1st time = client, 2nd time = friend and 3rd time = family and that is how it feels now. It is super affordable and uncomplicated.
I go for beautiful walks in Richmond Pk, I cycle, use the gym and sauna. I also meet some very interesting people along the way. Nothing is too much trouble for Rian, she is so knowledgeable and passionate about her beliefs and work, and I always come away feeling more educated. I come away with even more zest for life than I usually have, and feel like I’ve been recharged…nothing makes me feel better than having fasted or juicing, and I hope I never stop. What’s not to love, its so powerful and healing..and I lose weight in the process AMAZING!!
I never thought I’d be able to say I don’t have my eating disorder but I am over 3 years free now..im a very very grateful customer and meeting Rian has changed my life.
5 star retreat, Affordable and Unpretentious. 100% worth a visit.
My girlfriend and I spent 9 days on a liver cleanse program here, made easy in this great villa where we were made to feet instantly at home. Not only in our room with a view (Rosa), but also we had access to the home in it’s entirety inside and out. Rian and Pe Pe, (her cheif juicer and masseuse) went about their days allowing you to interact as little or as much as you like, over what can be quite an emotional experience, depending on your chosen program. Overall Rian offers a great service here, affordable and unpretentious and has great insight to your individual needs.
In just 9 short days I personally have managed to shake off some poor lifestyle choices and left with the tools to kickstart a much healthier approach to everything I do, never imagined in my 50s! I Highly recommend this retreat to anyone.

BronLar is a beautiful villa
BronLar is a beautiful villa , such a relaxing and beautiful place with mountain views. I did my second fabulous juice retreat there and lost another 8lbs!
I felt absolutely amazing afterwards and look forward to returning every 6 months. Rian is such a lovely and attentive host with nothing being too much trouble. Her knowledge and experience in hosting these retreats and in all areas of healthy eating and well-being are also to be valued. Can’t wait to return.
