Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just returned from a fabulous Yoga and Surf retreat in Morroco organised by Saira. What a wonderful experience! We stayed in a boutique mountain lodge and were served delicious meals every day on the roof terrace. Each day started with Sunrise Vinyasa Yoga in the Yoga Shala, followed by breakfast. Daily trips out were organised - surfing, sand boarding, a day trip to Paradise Valley, a trip to the local town and the option to indulge in a Hamman and massage. The day finished with chilled Yin Yoga, meditation or sound healing followed by dinner. The retreat was attended by a lovely group of ladies, who are now friends. Highly recommended.

This Reiki course is exceptional. Saira manages to teach in a light but very effective way that belies the time and effort she has put into the day. I have leant so much from her and will continue to do so as I very much believe in her and her ability to pass on her experience and deep knowledge and spirituality.

I travelled to Morocco for a Finding Joy yoga and surf retreat, which was thoughtfully organised by Saira at Mellulah. It is a trip I am never going to forget and 100 words can't even begin to describe the amount of care and thought which went in to organising our group. We had optional twice daily yoga and lots of trips out and the whole cost included almost everything and was very reasonable. If you're a solo traveller and are apprehensive about travelling alone, rest assured you will be looked after and lots of people will be doing the same as you. You will make many new friends! Saira is the most wonderful yoga teacher and will make your trip very special.

Reiki courses with Saira are a delight. Saira is very knowledgeable and passionate about welcoming people on their Reiki journey. I feel like I’m in a bubble of peace when I’m in Saira’s house when doing the courses. Following the courses there is support through email but also through a group chat with others. I highly recommend Mellulah whether you are looking to start exploring healing or if you want to develop and build on healing you already undertake.

Booked myself on the Reiki l course and I had the most amazing day and we all learned so much by the end of the day! Saira was so welcoming so friendly and just has a Fountain of knowledge and experience..The whole day I felt at ease and very much at home. It was such a calming, relaxed and friendly atmosphere and we had so much fun whilst learning that I’m definitely going to be booking in for my Reiki II course. I would love to say thank you to Saira For such a beautiful day and that I’m very thankful that you have been part of my spiritual journey.

Such a fantastic, relaxing and wonderful retreat day in strikingly beautiful surroundings. Saira is so sincere and really puts everything into the day to give you an experience that will never be forgotten. By the end I was literally walking on air.

Last week I woke up one morning with a trapped nerve in my neck, it was excruciating with pain into my shoulder and arm. I couldn’t do anything. As I was desperate Saira managed to squeeze me into her busy day for an emergency appointment which was a miracle in itself. She gave me an amazing massage, one of the best I’ve ever had, and some hands on energy healing. I immediately felt tension dissipating from my body and my mind became still and peaceful. She gave me some very useful advice on how to manage and protect my energy. Saira also has the ability to tune into any energy forms around you and she gave me some lovely messages which have been very comforting. I left Saira feeling heard and held and 100 times better than when I arrived and the pain level reduced from an 7 down to a 3, pretty incredible in one session. You can tell Saira is passionate about her work and she genuinely really cares about you. A true healer in my opinion.

Reiki Level 1 with Saira,
What a beautiful healing day, Saira presented the Reiki course in a relaxed, knowledgeable and informative way. Saira welcomed us to her lovely historical cottage, a very special atmosphere to receive Reiki training. The meditations and attunements were powerful and healing. Saira kept us on track as there was so much to absorb and take in, the space for learning and being was incredible. A wonderful group of people coming together to experience this unique and special Reiki Level 1. It was a fantastic day and I really enjoyed all of it. I would like to thank Saira for facilitating this amazing healing course. Still buzzing today, great feeling. Thank you. Blessings. Sophie x

I have attended my Reiki 1, 2 & 3 with Saira. Everything about each day was fabulous. The information was clear, concise and beautifully executed. Saira is great at keeping the day and everyone on track, and held space beautifully.
Saira continues to support her Reiki students beyond the course days. Her guidance is kind, honest and real. How can we move forward otherwise with new skills :-).
Thank you Saira, you are appreciated by many x

The day spent with Saira on the Reiki II course was just brilliant. A special time filled with light and love. I feel spiritually nourished and uplifted after the course and, importantly, have a new confidence in applying what I have learned to enhance and extend my Reiki Practice with integrity. Very much looking forward to taking this wonderful experience further and becoming a Reiki Master with Saira in November!
