Wellness Travel Trend 2023 - Emotional Detox
As it now widely accepted that emotions can affect our physical health and immunity, many of our clients are looking for a programme or retreat to help them release unhealthy thought patterns and accumulated anxieties. When we choose the partners we work with for this, we look for a carefully put together programme of treatments that provide a range of benefits.
