What
Option 1- Intensive wellness retreat
This specialised executive package is an intensive 4 day – 4 night treatment for those requiring an immediate sense of relief and some sustained rest and rejuvenation. This is our recommended package for those in need of immediate stress detox and health management.
Option 2 – Sustained wellness retreat
This alternate executive wellness package is available for those who would prefer a less intensive and more sustained intervention. This is a 2 day – 2 night treatment followed by 4 x half day maintenance support treatments spread over a 4 to 6 month period.
Why
We understand that you need to perform optimally in today’s fast moving ever changing work place while managing high levels of stress, fatigue, performance pressure and the competing demands of the workplace and everyday life.
We often dismiss our own self care and health maintenance until we reach a place of overwhelm and exhaustion/burnout. This will impact negatively on work, health, important relationships and your capacity to be present and engage with your partners, children, colleagues and friends.
Our professional intervention is grounded in current research and based on an integrative biopsychosocial approach that attends to your unique well-being. You will leave the Retreat with skills that will help you manage your physiological and psychological stress response, a greater insight into your individual coping patterns, options for ongoing health management and a replenished sense of optimism.
Not included in your Guesthouse stay as specified above are your individual treatments with our healthcare professionals. This may include consultations with psychologists, physiotherapists, reflexologists, dieticians, GP and any other specialist doctors or healthcare providers registered with HPCSA. All services provided by HPCSA professionals will be invoiced separately and must be paid directly to the health professional at the end of your final treatment. Once payment is made you may submit your statement to your medical aid for re-imbursement for these professional services.
In addition, any other service which we may offer you as part of your personalised healthcare during your stay will be charged separately.
