Prioritizing Self-Care at ?? Miraval Resort & Spa

Welcome to Beyond Boundaries!

As a former executive now building a multi-six-figure business, I understand the relentless demands of business growth. That's why I'm beyond excited to share my transformative journey, which focused on prioritization my self-care.

Join me as I recount my enlightening experience at the Miraval Resort and Spa, a sanctuary nestled in the serene Berkshire Mountains.

This experience wasn't just a pause from a demanding schedule; it was a pivotal moment in redefining my relationship with wellness and reconnecting with my authentic self.

I'm eager to share how my journey can inspire your path to balanced success and self-care. Let's explore this together!

Arrival: A First Glimpse of Serenity

As I arrived the Berkshire Mountains stood majestically, a testament to nature's grandeur. The resort, a perfect blend of elegance and tranquility, was nestled on a hill and I immediately felt my stress begin to melt away!? The staff, attentive and warm, ensured a seamless check-in to my suite.

The room? A masterpiece of comfort, artfully designed with all needed amenities at my disposal. The bedding and quilt must have fallen from heaven itself…? and I admit, I rolled around for at least five minutes just giggling with delight! ? The spacious balconies of each suite opened up to breathtaking mountain views, setting the stage for my anticipated journey of rejuvenation.

Exploring the Sounds and Sights

The resort's ethos, to be present, to inspire, and to nurture the body and spirit, resonated through every corner.? As I wandered through the resort, the air was filled with gentle, melodic spa music, and the calming sound of water features created a serene ambiance. This sensory journey was both grounding and transcendent.

Culinary Delights: Farm to Table and Beyond

The food journey was a revelation. The farm-to-table philosophy was evident in every bite, fresh, wholesome, and bursting with flavors.

A special dining experience was had at the historic 1894 restaurant, a stunning historic mansion that touts an enviable past.? My rack of lamb, paired with an exquisite selection of wine flights, was simply delectable! Each dish narrated its own story, weaving together history and culinary innovation into a rich tapestry of taste and tradition. The entire meal was nothing short of amazing!

A Tapestry of Health and Wellness

The resort's health and wellness offerings were a mosaic of experiences. From rejuvenating saunas, heated indoor and outdoor pools, extensive spa services, and somatic programming, to mindful yoga sessions, each activity was a step towards inner harmony. The grounds, a lush expanse of green, offered a space to connect with nature, while the activities encouraged personal growth and resilience.? The classes were intimate, and led by world-class instructors and guides, each dedicated to delivering the best possible experience for their guests.

Building Connections, Creating Memories

A truly delightful discovery of my stay? The connections I made. The ethos of the resort, to meet you where you are and provide tools for re-energizing and building resilience, was palpable. It was a place where strangers became co-people, sharing stories and experiences, and weaving a community of support and understanding.?

Could anyone have imagined that watching the sunset over the Berkshire mountains at 12 degrees, all while nestled in a heated sauna, would be the ideal backdrop for soul sisters to forge a deep connection?

My "Top 5" Nano-Sabbatical Activities:

? Greenhouse and Farm Tour - I felt an intimate connection with nature, grounding me and reconnecting me to the earth's natural rhythms.

?Fresh Farm-to-table dining - taught me the importance of mindful eating and the profound impact of nourishing my body with fresh, healthy foods.
