As more and more people are diagnosed with mental illnesses and life-altering conditions, focusing on health and wellness has become a top priority. Everyone is looking for ways to either prevent or treat problematic conditions as a means of living a happier, healthier life. If you happen to be one of these people looking to improve your life, having a wellness and/or spa party, could provide a great foundation to get started.
At a wellness and spa event, you’d get the opportunity to take a break from your hectic lifestyles and focus on relaxation, rejuvenation and your overall well being. Chances are you know a few people that could use a break as well. So, why not host a party at your home? With a little planning and creativity, you can organize a get together that your friends and family will thank you for. Below, are a few tips to plan a mind and body experience of a lifetime:
Create a Soothing Environment
Have you ever noticed that when you walk into a spa that a sudden sense of peace and tranquility comes over you the moment you step through the door? That’s because the environment is designed to tap into your senses and evoke positive emotions. When planning your wellness party, you want to try and replicate this feeling for you and your guests.
There are a lot of ways you can create a soothing environment in your home that don’t require a lot of time or money. When choosing your party decorations consider the color palate. Colors evoke emotion. So, choose colors that are designed to put you in a peaceful state like hues of blue, green, tan, pastels, or earth tones.
Sound is another environmental factor to consider. You can create a playlist compiled of calming soundscape music with sounds from nature like waterfalls, birds, the wind, and waves playing in the background. Adding tabletop water fountains can also help to enhance peace and tranquility.
Aromatherapy is very instrumental in calming the mind and body. Using scented candles, incense, or aromatherapy diffusers, throughout your home can quickly improve the mood of your guests.
Lastly, comfort is important to feeling at peace. Make sure you host the wellness or spa party in an area of your home that’s most comfortable.
Select Wellness Activities
After deciding on your decor it’s time to focus on the activities. As the main focus of this party is health and wellness, the activities you choose should help to entertain and educate your guests in these areas. There are several ideas you could consider depending on the spacing in your house and your budget. One idea, for example, might be for everyone to get massages. You could hire a mobile massage therapist to your home for a few hours to give your guests a good rubdown from head to toe.
If you want to focus on diet and nutrition, having a nutritionist come talk to your guests or hiring a personal chef to prepare a healthy meal or snacks for everyone can provide your friends and loved ones with information on how to make healthy changes. Want your guests to kick back and relax? You can offer your guests vape pens with vitamins, natural herbs, THC and CBD. If you’re looking to reach fitness goals you might hire a yoga instructor or personal trainer to come and give your guests tips on simple exercises to reach those fitness goals.
Choose a Healthy Menu
To further enhance the experience your guests receive at your wellness spa party, stick to a healthy menu for food and drinks. Diet has a significant impact on a person’s mental and physical state. If you can’t afford to hire a nutritionist or personal chef for your event, there are still ways to ensure your guests indulge in healthy cuisine. Look for healthy twists on popular party dishes and snacks. For example, instead of serving potato chips, have fresh kale chips or sweet potato chips available for your guests to snack on. Rather than serving alcohol, you can serve water infused with fruit, or mocktails which are alcohol-free drinks.
Though it’s not a retreat on a relaxing island, this wellness party can provide a wealth of benefits to you and your guests. Once you’ve ironed out all the details listed above, you’re ready to select a date, send out the invites, start looking for experts to hire, downloading recipes, and prepping your home for a wellness party you and your guests not only deserve but will appreciate.
