A Journey to Well Being 

                Breathe... now Breathe again. Healthful Holiday Preparations:

Your annual Holiday is an ideal place to define goals for improved well- being. The process of being in balance with mind, body, soul, and spirit or to make better conscious choices in engaging your five senses, there is no better time and place then whilst on holiday in Bali or beyond. At home, transition points, as well as at your final destination, are all ideal places to find mindful moments of well being.

Holiday well-being starts at home by arranging space for your travel materials, notes, resources, and yes, even pulling out your suitcase ~ take off the old baggage tags and wipe it down with some fresh scent like grapefruit. Replace ID tags with new tags as well as update your contact details to ensure luggage arrives safely and is easily identified, all of which will reduce your stress.

While you are creating space for travel, light candles for ambiance & open some windows for breathing fresh air. Prepare a small snack of organically grown fruit or crudités or try dark chocolate and red wine while you pack or read through travel websites. Keep your senses engaged to make this journey more inviting and create some calm in your life

Reduce reading materials by downloading podcasts or books at www.itunes.com, for a more restful journey look for classical options or meditations.

Review your holiday clothes ~ are they practical for the destination environment? For example, many island locations or boats are not suitable for extra tall heels or dry clean only clothing.

Stick to basics and keep it simple. Sun care products? Throw out unhealthy versions & visit www.ewg.org for safer products. Are your makeup products and personal care items necessary on a beach holiday? Find smaller sizes and try some new products, checkout
www.safecosmetics.org. 

Make your Reserve with us for a Wellness Journey on your Bali stop over. We at BaliWellnessJourneys will show you 'the best of the best' of Bali's wellness offerings. Our little island is just one big wellness resort.

OR, Schedule your Hotel Spa appointments in advance to ensure availability of your preferences. Ask about Complementary practices being available so you can enhance your physical health or satisfy your curiosity. Inquire of the Executive Chef and dining options appropriate to your health goals.

Think about your transit and in-flight time by organizing customized or special meal options; consider these periods a detoxifying time by ordering foods you like and are good for you. Follow the in-flight exercise suggestions with seat or walking options to ensure you are active. Listen to music instead of a movie, bring your own blanket by using a shawl or sarong from another holiday, bring a change of blouse or shirt to be refreshed upon arrival. Bring a note book for thoughts and observations during your journey.

Creating mindful moments while preparing for your destination will ensure a more enriching & rewarding holiday. Your Journey is never ending, continue to find opportunities to engage the senses and create that balance.

Our Inspiration

Greetings Dear Readers,

We stumbled upon the idea of presenting "Bali as the world's largest Spa & Wellness Resort" after visiting many of the wellness venues and 'offerings' all over the island  for an international travel guide.We discovered Spas, Clinics, holistic Practitioners, Gurus, Yogis and health consultants.  The list of Bali's offerings was an amazing eye opener.  All are very affordable and,     "More than just a Spa" became our new mantra.

Around the same time,  I was accidentally introduced to western medicine and pharmaceuticals which was the very expensive 'status quo' approach to getting well. For example:  The hospital nutritionist dropped by bed-side for 10 minutes to tell me to stop coffee, salt, eggs and butter?  Duh !  I was prescribed a list of tablets pushed by "Big Pharma" as usual ... so the doctors and hospital could win FREE CASH n' PRIZES.      ( like a chat cam on doctor's PC clearly labeled "Plavix")

Simply stated, those 2 experiences inspired BaliWellnessJourneys.  We now have a passion to introduce fun, beautiful and interesting wellness offerings to people like me.  People who have enjoyed the occasional massage at a hotel or day spa but, may be intimidated by a yoga lesson with all those pretzel people in the same class.  Or, those who have yet to explore other beneficial offerings and the fun stuff on our journey towards wellness.  I love the felling of treating my body to an hour or two in a hydrotherapy pool or, a deep massage by a very intuitive Balinese therapist who knows where to find the little aches and pains. New treatment modalities open and invigorate my mind and body. Fresh healthy Asian food beats he heck out of the western diet we all know so well.  (who are we to frown on a health filled glass of red wine or Margarita... Not ! )

We want you !  The beginner or seeker of wellness to add wonderful additions to your holiday on Bali island.    We don't speak in mystical tongues.  We do know where to find all the best of the best of Bali's offerings... outside the confines of your Hotel n' Spa.   "It's all about YOU" with our list journeys or personalized journeys of wellness discoveries.

We truly hope you will  join us on a delight-filled journey to personal well-being which has changed MY lifestyle. We simply want to share the possibilities  ... which is not 'end of story'.

Stay tuned.
