If you have ever experienced the signs of burnout, then you will have probably dreamt of escaping the stresses of everyday life and heading to a hideaway to unwind.
Such as the private oasis that is the We Care Spa in Desert Hot Springs, California. This is one of the best-kept secrets of the Hollywood starlets, rock stars and power players who come here to experience the intensive cleansing and personal touch of this healing retreat. We Care really does care about your health, with its specialized protocol of juice fasting and practical classes on healthful diet, which ensure that you are also educated on the benefits of detoxing, so that the results are life changing and long term. We Care is also a spiritual retreat that will soothe both your mind and soul.
Argentinean-born Susana Lombardi is the founder of this exceptional healing retreat and the embodiment of the healthy lifestyle. ‘Once your body is cleansed, your mind defogs and you can think clearly. Then you can make more appropriate decisions for yourself…You can see and feel things from a different level. When you have the energy to accomplish change in your own life first, then you can help change the world.’
When I asked Susanna what motivated her to open up this healing center, she replied that it was because she saw ’so many people experiencing unnecessary pain and heartache because they were uninformed about health and self-care.’
Susana’s epiphany was discovered whilst on her own spiritual retreat many years ago with Elizabeth Clare Prophet, a world renowned spiritual leader and mystic. This is where Susana learned to meditate, and received a clear message in her mind to go back to Palm Springs and enlighten others on the benefits of these practices.
‘After my divorce and in my search for my personal healing and peace, I began researching holistic health, and studying and teaching yoga. Following fasting, I noticed that my personality totally changed, and it was from my personal experience that I realized that I needed to share this with others.’ Her desire is essentially to help people turn their lives around. ‘You come to the We Care Spa to change your life for the better.’
If you love pampering, this is also the place to get some unique whole body care and signature treatments in the desert. My favourite is the 120 minute We Care Euphoria. It starts out with a sumptuous Rainforest, Green Tea, and Vitamin B mineral bath and a lemongrass exfoliation. The next step is an algae and Sedona clay body wrap that stimulates your lymphatic system and enhances the cleansing and nourishing of your skin. Your scalp is massaged with aromatherapy oils, which is followed by a body massage that leaves you in pure state of bliss.
While you are there, you may run into Alanis Morrissette, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, or Matt Damon. However the proper etiquette is to allow them their space and privacy. Remember, they are there–just like you–to escape the maddening crowd, so asking for a picture or an autograph should most definitely not be on your agenda.
So if you are ready to change your life, then check-in to the We Care Spa today.
