A SPA holiday is a fantastic way to, relax, reenergize and recharge the batteries but in many European countries they’re also a prescribed treatment for a variety of medical conditions.
For generations, natives of central and east European countries, on doctors’ orders, have packed their bags and headed off to mountain or coastal retreats where the emphasis is more on medical treatment than a relaxing holiday.
From more magic mushroom research, microdosing and retreats – to a profusion of superpower mushrooms infused in foods, drinks and beauty products
The 2017 Global Wellness Summit kicked off with a serious dose of…mushrooms.
Award-winning filmmaker Louie Schwartzberg’s opening talk sneak-previewed his extraordinary new film on the unappreciated power of mushrooms: from their crucial role in Earth’s ecosystem to the mounting medical evidence that they’re uniquely effective human medicine. Largely hidden from our eyes (mushrooms only come to the surface to “fruit”, i.e. spread their spores) the kingdom of fungi – neither vegetable or animal, but somewhere in between – is actually the largest set of organisms on the planet. A vast underground network (like the “Internet” of nature), mushrooms are Earth’s main decomposers and their constant “munching” makes possible soil – and all plant, animal and human life. And while most westerners only toss a few white button mushrooms into their spaghetti sauce (unlike Asian cultures that embrace so many mushrooms as food and medicine), Schwartzberg detailed the surging medical evidence for so many mushroom breeds: From lion’s mane’s ability to regrow nerve cells and prevent dementia to strong evidence that turkey tail mushrooms help our immune system fight cancer.

At 13,000 square feet, the luxury Galleria-area spa is now one of the largest in Houston.
IT’S NOT HARD TO GET LOST AT FIORI. After a major expansion to the tune of $2.5 million over the course of two years, the luxury boutique spa is now 3,000 square feet larger thanks to seven new massage rooms, a second outdoor swimming pool, new rooftop sundeck, expanded state-of-the-art ladies’ locker rooms, an additional waiting area, full-service hair salon Attitudes Paris Coiffure, and the brand new, 1,800 square-foot Ivy Bar & Bistro lounge.
The upscale, Tuscan-inspired, Galleria-area spa has been the preferred spot for the upper-crust crowd to get some R&R since 2005, when owner Roy Horlock built it.
“Originally, I opened Fiori to fill a void in the market,” says the Houston native, who also builds high-end residences with his company Horlock Custom Homes. “One of the most affluent areas in the country didn’t have a high-end spa. The concept was to build a five-star, resort-type spa without the resort.”
The International Spa Association (ISPA) in the August 2016 Consumer Snapshot report discussed the most pursued consumer in the spa industry – Millennials. Millennials comprise 26% of the population, and their buying power equates to almost $1B annually. Understanding the mindset of this new consumer is essential for the spa and wellness industry.
The same ISPA study indicated that women continue to comprise the bulk of Millennials spa-goers, who are seeking more personalized experiences. The study also noted most Millennials visit spas less than five times per year. The major reason for the minimal usage was cost, time, and a lack of familiarity with the spa environment.
With Millennials looking for more experiential services and products, it forces spas, and manufacturers to seek ways to provide customization to this cohort. Abigail Harris, a Millennial and spa enthusiasts, supported the results of the study, stating she “seeks experiences and creating memories instead of collecting things.” In response to demand, the number of companies providing customizable products has grown over the past few years. The ability to create and adapt products to a client’s particular needs has options available in skincare, makeup, bath salts, body oils as well as perfume lines.
Skincare company such as Kiehl’s enables customers to come into (their NYC) location, meet with a skin care provider and determine the clients’ skin type, skin care needs, that information along with the customer’s preferences is used to create customized skin care products which clients can take home and begin using the same day. An important aspect as Millennials want it quick, fast, and now.
Salt of the Earth (@saltspa) a Utah base product line, uses trace minerals from the Great Lakes within each of the products in the expansive line. Salt of the Earth’s all-natural products including body scrubs, creams, muds and detoxifying mineral soaks are handcrafted and customizable with the use of their Blend Bar and Blend Box. Spa and Wellness centers are able to blend individual mixes in front of the clients for use in treatments at the location or to use at home.
Body Bliss, the AZ-based company, also provides Spas the option of customizing body creams and even body oils. With an Ipad program, clients are able to pick a combination of oils based on aromatherapy, numerology, as well as, personal preference using the Aromatherapy design bars.
Regarding customizing spa services, Mandarin Oriental’s Time Rituals allows spa-goers the option to book time rather than services. The application of the time concept might be more of a challenge in smaller locations. It is an idea worth exploring as Millennials want to create packages outside of the standard mani/pedi, massage and facial.
These and many other companies give spas and wellness locations the opportunity for Millennials to create one of a kind treatments and products to be used during the service and later at home. It creates a win, win, win for manufacturers, spa locations, and most importantly the Millennial spa-goer.
