The award-winning ESPA Life at Corinthia is the first UK spa to launch a suite of six unique mindfulness therapies, all under one roof. The six mindfulness therapies comprise: ESPA Mindful Massage, ESPA Mindful Facial, Mindful Breathing & Meditation, Mindful Sleep, and two Mindful Fitness sessions. Mindfulness is at the core of wellness. The mental state of a person is equally as important as the physical, and to ensure an equal balance of the two in our everyday lives, ESPA Life at Corinthia has created a suite of treatments that aims to make 'mindfulness' accessible.

Mindfulness is the mental state achieved by focusing your awareness on the present moment. Busy lives often prevent us from thinking about ourselves and our health suffers. ESPA Life wants to ensure their guests get the maximum restorative effects mentally and emotionally, as well as physically, from their time at the spa.

Mindfulness can bring about long-term benefits and positively affects levels of happiness and well-being. Scientific studies have shown that mindfulness not only prevents depression but that it also directly impacts the brain patterns underlying day-to-day anxiety, stress, depression and irritability.

Laura Vallati, Spa Director at ESPA Life at Corinthia says, “I have studied mental and physical well-being for over 20 years, in many different cultures and parts of the world.  The one approach to life that seems to have profound effects on well-being, at all ages, is the practise of 'Mindfulness'. To complement our holistic wellness offering at Corinthia, I have collaborated with ESPA in designing a suite of mindfulness therapies; each one offering a different emphasis or appeal to the individual.  We continue to innovate by offering the latest ways of combining ancient and modern thinking for better health.”

Given the powerful way mindfulness can support and enhance physical and mental well-being, ESPA Life are combining this philosophy with expert massage and fitness therapies.
