The Spa Hotel at Ribby Hall Village has opened its new wellness centre in partnership with Wellness International – a wellbeing service provider comprised of medical consultants, GPs, occupational health consultants, healthcare practitioners, nurses and medical technicians.

The Wellness Centre, an extension to the existing thermal zone spa, will help clients identify and understand underlying health issues – to be explained by a specialist team of doctors, physiotherapists, personal trainers and lifestyle coaches.

Open to local residents, day spa visitors and overnight guests, the centre’s expert advice packages include nutritional support, food intolerance testing, food allergy testing, nutritional therapy, weight management programmes and general health and wellbeing testing.

Spa manager Lorna Macleod said: “There’s a direct correlation between what we eat, the appearance of our skin and also our overall health and wellbeing. So not only are we providing our spa guests with the facilities to take time out and hit the pause button on their daily routines, we are also encouraging them, whilst they are here, to explore and learn more about their overall health and wellbeing.”

The spa already offers more than 70 body and facial treatments, carried out by a team of 28 therapists, using the following brands: Elemis, Neom, Mii and OPI.
