My NYC Pampering Time Spent With Canyon Ranch @CanyonRanch #travel #spa
I’ve always dreamed of taking a vacation to Canyon Ranch. It’s actually something not even out of the realm of possibility because I’m lucky enough to have one right in Massachusetts, only about and hour and a half from my home. To be honest with you, I’ve just never carved out the time to go and relax and be pampered… not by myself, not with my husband or not with a group of girlfriends.
Well… I’m happy to say that that changed a little bit last week in NYC. My BFF Vera Sweeney and I took 2 hours off of our regular schedules and went to an amazing Canyon Ranch Event in NYC. Honestly, it was JUST what I needed and more. I got to have a little taste of the beauty and the wonder of a Canyon Ranch trip.
This was our schedule of events:
LEARN THE SCIENCE OF PLAY FROM DR. MARK LIPONIS, CANYON RANCH CORPORATE MEDICAL DIRECTOR
What does the good doctor recommend for improved health and well being? Play! Gather insight into the concept of play – and its counterpart, joy – and its effect on creativity, brain development and relationship building.
GEAR-UP FOR PLAY WITH CANYON RANCH HEALTHY FEET™ ACTIVITIES, DEVELOPED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH FOOT EXPERT DR. GLENN COPELAND, AUTHOR OF THE FOOT BOOK
Your feet are the foundation of your body and because they’re subject to enormous use and constant wear – not to mention fashion-over-function footwear choices – it’s no wonder they hurt. And painful feet can cause discomfort in the knees, hips and back too, limiting your enjoyment of favorite activities. Meet Dr. Glenn Copeland, experience a personal gait analysis and gain insight into our Healthy Feet™ services. Additionally, receive Canyon Ranch’s exclusive Sole Energizers™ and take-home techniques to strengthen and revitalize your feet and lower leg area.
PLAY OUTSIDE WITH RANDY KINKADE, OUTDOOR SPORTS MANAGER AT CANYON RANCH IN TUCSON
Get back to basics with our latest nature-inspired activities. Experience the primal thrill of creating fire by coaxing a hot coal from hand-hewn sticks in the Primitive Fire Making workshop or try your hand at Arrowhead Artistry.
RECOVER FROM PLAY WITH CHARLOTTE PRESCOTT, SPA DIRECTOR AT CANYON RANCH HOTEL & SPA IN MIAMI BEACH, AND RED FLOWER PRODUCTS
Offering more than just pampering and relaxation, massage boasts therapeutic benefits as well. Discover how our signature spa treatments, featuring red flower products, a luxurious botanically-based therapeutic treatment line centered around well-being and body-care rituals from around the world, aid the body in recuperating from activity. Experience a hand treatment “tasting” inspired by our menu of red flower body treatments and tailored to meet your specific needs: revitalizing, detoxifying or relaxation.
FUEL YOUR PLAY WITH CORPORATE CHEF SCOTT UEHLEIN’S HEALTHY, GOURMET CREATIONS
It’s essential to fuel your body properly to get the most from your play time. Sample a selection of our newest dishes that feature a fresh take on spa cuisine. Try our new fruit sweetened granola, Spanish Seafood Salad and other tasty treats…and don’t miss the Mini Chocolate Zucchini Cakes!
It was such a fun 2 hours to spend with Vera and just indulge in the amazing-ness of all that Canyon Ranch offered at this event. I came home and told my husband, “As soon as the baby is born, we’re planning a little romantic getaway!”
He agreed. 🙂
