When we seek wellness on vacation, it’s no longer just about a visit to the spa. The wellness industry is vast and encompasses everything from detoxifying the body to cleansing the mind, healing the heart and restoring the soul. This can mean your next wellness trip involves a hike in nature, a bath in a mineral pool, yoga on the beach or a plunge into an ice-cold lake.
There are many different wellness experiences you can add to your next vacation or that you can design your trip around. Here are a few of our favourite options to get you inspired as you get away from it all and get back to yourself.
SOUND THERAPY
A wellness vacation is the perfect time to heal your mind and leave you feeling energised with some sound therapy. “Just as there are sounds that weigh negatively on our nervous systems, other sounds have been proven to enhance it,” Matty Rainbow, co-founder of Sound Healing Australia, says. “Think the sounds of nature — running water, tumbling waves, the wind blowing through trees …”
Visit a sound therapist and enjoy the healing vibrations and restorative sounds of instruments such as singing bowls, tuning forks and gongs.
