Six Seasons Recovery faces care complaints from clients who paid $70,000
A wellness retreat in Yallingup is run by a Perth builder whose previous company failed, leaving over 50 clients with incomplete homes.
A wellness retreat in Yallingup, Western Australia, has come under scrutiny after clients complained of inadequate care and safety concerns. One client paid $70,000 for a four-week stay but said she was left unsupervised overnight despite being promised 24-hour contact access.
The retreat is run by Danny Coyne, a Perth builder whose company New Sensation Homes entered liquidation in 2022 with debts of around $6 million. Over 50 clients of that company were left with incomplete home builds.
Coyne declared bankruptcy and avoided legal accountability for those failures. At Six Seasons Recovery, Coyne has no clinical qualifications but holds a spent conviction for falsely posing as a psychologist.
One client alleged he provided medical advice including changing her medication doses by 25-30 per cent at a time, against proper protocols that reduce doses by 5 per cent.
