Samantha Malone-Telesford is the director of The Ritz-Carlton Spa, says, a healthy lifestyle never goes out of style. The new spa has been designed in harmony with nature and she suggests the following 10 tips for “logging off” and recharging to start the New Year in the right fashion.
1. Take a moment each day just for you…wherever you may be.
2. Select a destination spa so you can immerse yourself in total relaxation. The experience is enhanced by spa’s surroundings. One customized signature offering at The Ritz-Carlton Spa, Dove Mountain, is “Embracing Your Elements—Balance.” With elements that include fire (passion), earth (stability), water (intuition), metal (the mind) and wood (ambition), the treatment is designed to align and restore vital energy and help one reconnect with his or her strengths.
3. Seek indigenous ingredients and products for the ultimate, special spa immersion.
4. Remember, it’s a complete experience, not just a single treatment. Customized spa experiences are part of the renewed attention to customer service at spas.
5. Leave ample time to catch some zzz’s after or, even, during a spa experience. The Ritz-Carlton Spa’s distinctive “Drift to Sleep” treatment facilitates better sleep patterns. The ritual promotes sleep at a deep state of sub-consciousness.
6. Try a spa treatment sampler menu for something new and different. Now all the rage, they offer value and encourage spa novices and experts to indulge as one need not commit to a full session.
7. Enhance your relationship with your partner by sharing the spa experience. Increasingly, couples have found this to be a wonderful way to connect and bond. At The Ritz-Carlton Spa, there are three distinct “couples treatments” plus a “Just For Us” package that includes a couples massage and rose petal bath, capped with Champagne and strawberries.
8. Surrender to the experience, whether it’s 30 minutes, an hour or more.
9. Make a promise to yourself to continue the spa experience – develop your own ritual for rejuvenation and stick to it at home and on the road.
10. Wellness is an investment that guarantees great returns. You have nothing to lose but your stress, aches and pains. The Ritz-Carlton Spa offers a 50-minute “Tranquility” session where mind over matter is the theme of a class which is designed to free the mind, calm the nerves and uncover inner peace and serenity.
