SPA GODDESS


SPA GODDESS


Last year we launched a competition in partnership with Wellbeing Escapes to find eight agents who wanted to embrace wellness. Embrace it in their


personal and work lives so that they could become healthier and make their bank balance healthier too. Four fam trips, two agents on each, to four hotels with different takes on wellbeing. Our first two agents went to the


SHA Wellness Clinic in Spain. The clinic employs more than 250 professionals from 35 countries in every expertise imaginable. Here, Julie Harrison and Angela Mayall share their thoughts before, during and after their trip.


JULIE HARRISON, BESPOKE TRAVEL SOLUTIONS


BEFORE Wellness breaks are the way forward. It definitely seems to be


very popular now with a lot of my clients with a

variety of budgets and desires. I have considered wellness breaks for my own friends


who are in their 40s who are runners and triathletes, but want to reduce that while keeping health and wellbeing in the forefront of their lives. We all need to be revitalised from time to time, and having some direction on diet and healthy eating to keep us focused when we are very busy would be great. I am really keen to hear more on this topic, and consider it a great market to tap into for a lot of our clients with health issues and or who just wish to take some time out for themselves.

DURING I didn’t realise the SHA experience would be so encompassing, comprehensive and medical. The hotel, if I can call it that, looks and feels very trendy but everything was different to my expectations. There is such a huge focus on nutrition and the range of ailments and preventative measures here are extraordinary. If people want to make changes in their lives this is the perfect place as you are quickly immersed and focused. It makes sense to think through what you or your client wants to achieve before coming and get it all prearranged as there is so much choice. While being here I’ve thought


about what changes I would make to my life and it’s predominantly diet. I want to eat less meat for a start. The education you get here puts you in a far better position to understand your body and talk about the benefits with clients. For a holiday like this you have to really know your client – some would adore it, others would not. So many of us get stressed and feel lethargic but don’t know where to start to rectify those feelings. SHA can help make the changes.


AFTER People have asked if I’m being paid to talk about SHA! I came off the plane and into the supermarket to get the foods they had recommended. The trip gave me a kick to make changes and get back on track. I plan on doing a client event focused on wellness later in the year as the potential for business is huge. The interest is growing and while SHA is specifically for certain clients, getting to know the range Wellbeing Escapes offers has been useful as there is a product to suit everyone.
