This is a SCAM. Dr Roni is a con artist & a Sociopath. This IS NOT an Inn, this is Dr Roni's personal House. You stay there with her family which includes a teenage son, an Ex husband that lives in the basement & a very creepy brother in law. There is no staff, no amenities at all, no soap or shampoo in your room. The rooms are dirty, dark, small & full of bugs. No one helps you with your bags & they refuse to provide a key to your room. The home itself has a very unpleasant, pungent odor as soon as you enter. The program touts a Vegetable juice detox. In fact, she provides 3 powdered shot sized drinks per day, available at any Whole Foods, and 1 veggie juice that is prepared hours before you are to consume it. There is also 1 veggie soup served at 5PM. It is usually the same soup 2 nights in a row & one of the guests found a large hair in hers, which matches the space...all of the rooms are full of long black hairs as well. Half of the services that she promises are at a hotel 6 blocks from her house. All workouts, yoga, gym, pool, steam room & sauna are located at the hotel. On the 1st day of my stay, we go to the hotel to take a yoga class, but we are asked to leave. We are told that they have been calling & contacting Dr Roni, but she has refused to pay her bill & continues to ignore them. After lying to us & assuring us that we could return to the hotel the next day because she really had paid her bill, we were denied entry a second time. Dr Roni had in fact not paid her bill, and we were embarrassed again. The GAUL of this woman is outrageous, she insists that she is paid in full in advance, and then I am thrown out of the hotel where most of her promised services are for non payment? The nutritional advice she promises, forget this too. The 1st day i arrived the only person in the house was a 60 year old, 300+ lb woman who told me very little about the Inn & less about nutrition, but blathered on about the Bible, her family and get this...coloring. She was insistent that it would be good for me to get in touch with my inner child, so i should color in a coloring book about faeries. Other than that, If you speak to Dr Roni, mostly she talks about herself, but she did manage to have 1 scheduled discussion with me about a diet plan for after I left the Inn. This consisted mostly of buying all of her powdered drinks and her trying to talk me into eating meat, despite the fact that i explained that i had been a vegetarian for 20 years. It seems, She had for me the exact same plan that she had for the only other paying guest at the Inn, and the Intern who also lives at the Inn. Important to note, upon arrival you are asked to fill out a 9 page patient medical history form along with pages of personal information. Pretty right away, you notice that your folder with all of this highly personal information, is displayed proudly on the kitchen counter with your name emblazoned on the front for anyone & everyone to see, read or take. 1 more horrifying story, but by no means the last...Linda, the 300 lb nutritional therapist, insisted one afternoon that i receive a B12 shot. Something not discussed prior or again afterwards. I was taken into a small room and Linda turned to me & asked if i wanted to give myself this shot? Absolutely not, I am not a nurse, I do not give shots. Finally she gives me the shot & afterwards, I turn to leave the room, and then she asks me if i would give her a shot? She starts to lift up her shirt, and once again i refuse & run out the door. Left wondering who or what this woman is. She is clearly not a nutritional therapist or a nurse. Opening a larger question, who is Roni? RN follows her name, but nowhere can i find that she is actually a DR of anything. If she has a license to operate a business, it is nowhere to be found and if it did exist...should be revoked. I left 5 days into a 14 day stay & She is refusing to refund my money. I have asked nicely several times, but i get nasty email in return. Do yourself a favor & stay far away from this woman. read more

Was considering going to the retreat until I found out Dr. Morton Teich is associated with them. Before you take any advice this guy read my recount of his treatment. I was 25 and perfectly healthy went to Dr. Teich a Clinical Ecologist aka. "Environmental Medicine" MD regarding a allergy to fumes from permanent magic markers and rubber cement. The forms I filled out included a waiver stating Teich was doing "dangerous clinical experiments that could be harmful perhaps fatal". Teich claimed I had a "masked" allergy to formaldehyde and he could treat the chemical sensitivity i had but formaldehyde "provocative neutralization would improve the above mentioned allergy. In contrast to the waiver described the treatment as "absolutely safe and formaldehyde was a non-toxic substance". I was injected with tinctures of formaldehyde and given sublingual drops of same. As a result of this treatment I became sensitized to formaldehyde making it all but impossible to continue my professional practice as an architect. Allergy blood tests 3 months after ending this "treatment" showed the worst allergy index subsequent MD's had seen. I reported Teich to the NYS board of Ed. Dept. Med. Misconduct. According to the Investigator he beat the rap by getting the best malpractice attorney in NYC, 100's of the other "Clinical Ecologist" to submit supporting patient treatment histories. The state investigator stated we got a room full of cartons of reports, we sampled them "there all garbage" but in order to prosecute him we would have to evaluate each one and we just the manpower. He said the head of his department knows Teich and told him "HE'S A PHONY". Teich also altered my records to indicate I reported a severe sensitivity to formaldehyde prior to his "treatment". Subsequently I found Dr. John Selner MD had debunk Teich & his friends for over 20 years using control double blind test to prove the worthlessness of there treatments. It so consistently showed provocative neutralization be worthless the doctors refused to give anymore patients to test. He's got all the right docs. on the wall, affable acts respectable but actually a very screwed and deceptive individual. Seems in a vain effort to be the great man he's endangering some of his patients. FYI Some of other reviews don't look legit. read more

Attending the Martha's Vineyard Holistic Retreat changed my life, for life! My experiences at the Retreat, yes I've attended multiple times over the past 20 years, have altered the way I look at health and the role food plays in my life. Each of us has to take ownership of our health. We can't rely on the current medial and pharmaceutical establishment to protect us because they are really protecting their own financial interests. Today many consumers are looking for instant gratification. If you are sick, it is likely you didn't become sick overnight. So it stands to reason that you won't get well overnight. IF you have patience and stick-to-it-tive-ness, you can improve your health by applying what you will learn at the Martha's Vineyard Retreat. You must have an open heart and a teachable spirit to go through a healing crisis. If you do, and you are willing to look at new possibilities that you never knew existed, you will find a world that exists that will alter your life for life! Colonics absolutely rids the body of toxins. If you don't do anything else, you should attend the Retreat and prolong your life by applying what you learn. read more

I absolutely love this retreat. I have chronic health issues and came to detox my body because i have been doing a lot of research and found that harmful toxins are what make us sick! I had high blood pressure and bad arthritis (among other things) so i when i heard about Dr. Roni on the Steve Harvey morning show i knew i had to sign up. Best decision i EVER made! She has been the sole reason i am still alive today and now cancer free. Been in remission for 2 years now and i feel amazing. Her program was hard but being in the retreat itself made it easier because it felt like HOME. Its in a b&b setting, very private and quiet and the staff were so knowledgeable and friendly. I must say that they had one staff member who made me feel uneasy because she kept telling me about her personal issues but when i went back to do a retreat last year and detox again that staff member had been terminated. Due to what i am not sure but i don't care because I will continue to go back. They gave me my life back and i couldn't be more grateful. Dr. Roni is professional and her background in health and wellness is amazing. I love her! read more

I have visited this retreat 3 years in a row and i am planning on going again next year! I have a weight problem and when i started this detox 3 yrs ago i was 310lbs. Now i am 207!! I heard about dr. roni when her book came out and by this time i was out of options i have tried every cleanse that was out and nothing worked for me. i was literally starving my body. I came to the retreat and stayed 14 days the first time and lost 19 lbs. When i went home i went on the maintenance program and lost another 5. The second time i went i lost 24 lbs in 21 days and another 4 on the maintenance plan. I lost 22 lbs my last stay and have been continuing to lose since then. If you stay on the maintenance plan and continue to eat healthy afterwards you will not gain the weight back. Not only did i lose the weight but my skin got much more clear, my hair and nails grew so much faster and thicker and i felt so good and light. My energy went up and my cholesterol went down!! I will stay on this healthy lifestyle change for the rest of my life thanks to dr. roni. she really saved my life. i highly recommend coming to this retreat!!! read more

Maybe I'm crazy, but I totally disagree with the review above. I absolutely love Martha Vineyard Retreat/Dr.Roni Deluz. I knew I wanted to gently support my liver & kidneys back in Sept.2014. I'm not an expert on elimination or anything. Since last summer I've been on a mission to lose about 25 pounds, so I changed my diet and exercise habits, and lost 20 lbs on the retreat with Dr.Roni. My face is clearer, I use the bathroom more frequently, but it's a clean and smooth process and I feel so good, lighter, and energized. I feel Detoxed!!! I would recommend this to anyone who is having a lifestyle change or is wanting to rejuvenate themselves ... My opinion a winner in combination to a healthy diet. Martha's Vineyard Retreat is a Awesome and Fabulous place to stay. read more

Attending the Martha's Vineyard Holistic Retreat was MORE than worth it! Even after the first day, I saw results. The atmosphere is refreshing, the staff are hospitable people that are concerned about the welfare of each individual. The quality of care I received coupled with the empathy the staff expressed for each one of us was amazing. I enjoyed meeting the other people, being able to meditate, feeling free to express myself, relaxing and escaping the hustle and bustle of my every day life. The program was a great benefit to me because it was well rounded and addressed my individual needs. If you are looking for an detox experience that is all about you, the Martha's Vineyard Holistic Retreat is a must do! read more

Even before my stay at the Martha's Vineyard Holistic Retreat I was in to health and nutrition, but my stay at the Retreat helped me to live an even healthier life . Now I try to juice at least one time daily. When life gets busy, I use green powders and super food supplements. The incredible staff at the Retreat provide education about how to incorporate super foods and quality foods in to your daily diet. Heath is number one, if you have to decide between buying a new car or investing in the Retreat, there is no question, choose this Retreat, it will change your life for the better. read more

Roni deluz is slandering me to my employers because I rightfully reported her cameraman for pushing me and verbally abusing me and her for theft in 2014 and her staff for lying to me She hates fat people on her staff including her own daughter All she cares about is looks she wastes money on clothes but cannot pay her staff on time I called the cops on her violent cameraman and she retaliated She is a disgusting evil cheating psychopath and is not a true healer just a hustler read more

Dr. Roni provided my husband with multiple life-saving IVs after he tried to detox from alcohol without assistance and found himself in toxic shock. Her non-judgmental style of explaining his condition to him was key to getting him to acknowledge his dependency and successfully lead him onto the path of sobriety. He is now 18 months sober with no desire to resume drinking alcohol. I love the Retreat spirit. Thank you, Dr. Roni! read more

There was an abundance of info given that I was able to bring home and articulate and share to family and friends to help them also make healthy life changes. read more

This retreat is absolute rubbish. Detox is supposed to be with natural food like fruits and vegetables and not with powders and capsules...not to mention the amount of nuts she asks you to eat...total crap...whoever framed the eating routine for this is utterly inexperienced and has no conscience what so ever. Rubbish!!! read more

Dr. Roni operates a very compassionate place for people that have chronic conditions. She is very knowledgeable and persistent in tailoring a program to address the cause of your ailment vs simply treating your symptoms. Her holistic approach is unmatched. read more
