To be Heard & Seen...

There are a number of health resorts that have in-house therapists or psychologists. These are always specialist professionals. That means that they know how to help you get things straight.

Private coaching

Sometimes, you just need it: when you keep coming up against the same issues; when you feel the stress is becoming too much; when you feel as though there’s something missing in your life; when you feel stuck… These are the times when 1:1 sessions with a coach, therapist or psychologist can work wonders. And there’s no reason why sessions should take place local to home: why not do it whilst on holiday, so that you have the time to reflect on everything that comes up? Wouldn’t it be much nicer to have such conversations, knowing you can sit and pause on what has been said in the spa? And what could go more perfectly together with this kind of psychological cleansing as a detox or juice fast with yoga or Pilates, Ayurveda and meditation? Combine care for your mental wellbeing with care for your physical health on a wonderful wellness holiday. You’ll stay at a luxury health or wellness resort, take yoga or Pilates classes, enjoy a massage or beauty treatment, all whilst working on yourself mentally in between. No other holiday could compare.

What is a wellness holiday with coaching sessions?  

There are a number of health resorts that have in-house therapists or psychologists. There are also special wellness holidays led by coaches. These are always specialist professionals. That means that they know how to help you get things straight. They know how to hold a mirror in front of you so that it becomes clear to you what is playing out in your life, and how to unveil undesirable patterns, blind spots and pitfalls to you.

Depending on the type of wellness holiday and the coach in question, the 1-2-1 sessions are held in English or Dutch. In all cases, your situation will be given due care. Once you have had chance to air your questions, you will receive individual, custom suggestions and advice revolving around those questions to help you affect real change. This makes a wellness holiday with private coaching a holiday from which you return not only rested and recharged, but also with the tools to retain that sense of relaxation at home.

Health Resorts, Retreats and Clinics around Mental Balance 

In our demanding world, the importance of mental balance has evolved from a mere desire into an absolute necessity. Mental balance represents the harmony that encompasses our thoughts, emotions and actions. It is the key to unlocking a life characterized by resilience, clarity, and inner peace. Achieving mental balance requires equilibrium across our emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. Discover our wide offer in programs and retreats designed to nurture your mental equilibrium, reduce stress, enhance focus, and bolster emotional strength. There are various types of mental balance retreats: stressmanagement, emotional healing or burnout recovery. Being in Nature and mindfulness and mediation are key elements too. Mental balance programs are crafted by experts such as psychologists, holistic therapists, medical professionals, or individuals with substantial experience in this field. Beyond the goal of genuine rejuvenation, these programs also provide insights into the underlying causes of stress and burnout. Healthy nutrition is essential, as are relaxing treatments and holistic activities like Yoga, Tai Chi, Pilates, Qi Gong, Mindfulness, meditation, acupuncture, or Ayurveda.

We have listed the various types of mental balance programs aimed at achieving greater peace and tranquility in your mind

1. Anti-stress (or Stress Management) Getaways

These programs are designed to help you reduce stress levels and learn effective techniques to manage stress in your daily life. They often include relaxation exercises, treatments, massages, and stress-reduction strategies. Numerous Health and Wellbeing resorts offer specialized programs centered around stress reduction.

2. Emotional Healing Retreats

These retreats provide a safe and supportive environment for addressing and working through emotional issues, traumas, and experiences that can lead to significant life changes, such as divorce, illness, or the loss of a loved one. These programs often include therapy, coaching sessions, and various healing practices. Emotional healing doesn't mean erasing past experiences but learning to cope with them, fostering resilience, and ultimately finding a sense of inner peace and balance. As such, an emotional healing program offers you a new perspective and newfound energy. 

3. Burnout Recovery Programs

These programs are specially crafted for guests who are grappling with burnout, often stemming from overwhelming work-related stress. They concentrate on recovery, establishing boundaries, self-care, and imparting techniques to avert future instances of burnout. The goal is to enable you to disconnect from daily stressors, focus on your well-being, create and develop strategies to prevent future burnout.

4. Reconnecting with Nature

Spending time in nature offers therapeutic benefits for your mental well-being. Health and well-being resorts that focus on nature-based experiences encourage you to immerse yourself in the outdoors and connect with the natural world such as mountains, national parks, lakes, beaches or the countryside. These settings are ideal for activities like hiking, walking, forest bathing, and cycling. Being in nature has a calming and rejuvenating effect on the mind, helping to reduce stress.

5. Mindfulness and Meditation

To reset your stress management patterns, begin by identifying the triggers of stress. You can cultivate healthier coping mechanisms, such as deep breathing, exercise, and mindfulness. Meditation, a mindfulness practice, helps you quiet your mind and gain self-insight. This can assist you in effectively managing your stress, confronting challenges, and exploring alternative perspectives. PureandCure offers a range of meditation and mindfulness weekend retreats and short programs designed to teach you how to be present in the moment, reduce anxiety and find balance. 

6. Unplugging from screens on a Digital Detox

Digital detox programs encourage you to take a break from excessive screen time and technology use. Cutting back on screen time can supercharge your sleep quality and boost your overall well-being. Plus, it paves the way for more vibrant real life connections and relaxation.

What is the main difference between anti-stress, emotional healing and burnout recovery?

It is a frequently asked question we receive from our guests. Each program is designed to address various aspects of mental and emotional well-being. The primary distinctions lie in the methods of support and guidance offered during each program.

While anti-stress programs primarily emphasize relaxation treatments to relax and unwind, emotional healing and burnout recovery programs incorporate coaching sessions and therapies that are specifically tailored to provide the emotional support that you need.

Emotional healing is a vital process of addressing and mending emotional wounds and traumas. It involves acknowledging and processing difficult feelings like grief, anger or fear. Healing often requires self-compassion, therapy, and mental support. By confronting and understanding the root causes of emotional pain, you can gradually release and begin to rebuild your emotional well-being.

A burnout recovery program is a tailored intense program aimed at helping you to overcome physical and emotional exhaustion caused by prolonged stress. These programs offer a supportive environment for self-reflection and personal growth, emphasizing work-life balance and fostering a sense of community among guests.

Elements of a mental balance holiday

All those programs share some common elements, such as mindfulness practices or relaxation techniques, but the objective, needs and target audience vary. Choosing the right program depends on your specific needs and circumstances, whether it's managing everyday stress, addressing emotional issues, or recovering from burnout.

  • Healthy eating. During times of stress, it's common to turn to coffee, alcohol, fatty snacks, sugar, and nicotine for solace, albeit understandably. However, these substances only serve to heighten adrenaline levels in the body, exacerbating the turmoil. Conversely, healthy food is a potent ally against stress. Hence, an anti-stress holiday educates participants about adopting a proper, nourishing diet.
  • Relaxation treatments and holistic activities. These are integral to a stress management holiday. Practices such as yoga, tai chi, Pilates, qi gong, mindfulness, meditation, acupuncture, and Ayurveda play vital roles in restoring the delicate balance between body and mind, fostering a more tranquil lifestyle. Furthermore, these activities provide a gentle physical component to your wellness journey, grounding individuals who may find themselves excessively caught up in their thoughts.
  • Therapy and counseling. Individual and group therapy sessions with licensed therapists or counselors to address specific mental health concerns, emotional issues, and personal growth.
  • Nature and Outdoor Activities. Opportunities for nature-based activities such as hiking, nature walks, or eco-therapy to connect with the natural environment and reduce stress.
  • Creative and Artistic Expression. Art therapy, creative workshops, or music therapy sessions to encourage self-expression and emotional release.
  • Workshops and Educational Seminars. Workshops and seminars on topics like stress management, emotional intelligence, resilience building, self-awareness, personal growth, and reflection. Some place offer personalized assessments to identify your areas of concern and create a tailored plan.
  • Healthy Lifestyle Choices. Guidance on making healthier lifestyle choices, including sleep hygiene, exercise, and time management.

Consider approaching your employer for support or accounting these expenses as business costs.

Research demonstrates that engaging in a mental balance program can reduce absenteeism and potentially increase an employee's productivity. This is why employers are sometimes willing to contribute. For entrepreneurs or self-employed individuals, coaching costs can be classified as business expenses and, thus, tax-deductible.

Tips for self-care at home

How to nurture your well-being at home? Here's my personal tip: Recreate the serene ambiance of your favourite places of happiness and relaxation. I brought back a cherished oil essence from my favorite destination, infusing my home with its essence. Commit to regular self-indulgence, whether through a massage, pedicure, hair treatment, or spa day, at least once a week. Cultivate a calming environment, uphold a wholesome daily routine, and emphasize self-care, nurturing a serene and balanced lifestyle within the comforts of your home.
