Destination For Healing

Consultations, cleansing treatments and medicinal baths are healing practices rooted in tradition made more potent through the help of science at the newly-opened Holistic Sanctuary at The Farm in San Benito.

There is variety, fun and excitement to be had when living in the city. A fast-paced life is beneficial where efficiency and convenience are concerned. Subsequently, the perks of quick and easy access will also entail quick fix alternatives that forego essentials to healthy living like eating, cleaning, and making enough time for meditation, relaxation and rejuvenation.

Time for food preparation is often limited, which often results in a diet of fast-food meals. Although there is time for a few hours in the gym each week, there is hardly enough time to squeeze in meditation or a full sleep cycle.

A NEW SANCTUARY AT THE FARM

A quick drive south leads to the 50-hectare property also known as The Farm in San Benito. A few years since it opened as the first wellness retreat resort in the country, several award-winning tailored treatments have been introduced to heal and restore balance for the mind, body and soul. It is inside The Farm’s three-level Holistic Sanctuary, which opened last February, where these specialized treatments are given.
