Waters famous since the Antiquity

The “digital detox” in practice
Upon arrival to the hotel, clients leave all of their digital devices (smartphone, tablet, laptop…) to the facility’s personnel that locks them in a safe box for the whole time of their stay.
The cure lasts 3 days and 3 nights. It is made up of anti-stress and wellness care based on Vichy water and lots of massages. It is a perfect program to let go and prevent the risk of a professional burn-out.
“We receive lots of highly stressed executives who are on the verge of a burn-out who panic completely at the thought of separating from their computer or not checking their email on their smartphone every 5 minutes.
We teach them to take a step back and to refocus on themselves while they are far away from their work tools. They learn to let go and relax especially thanks to a number of exercises around respiration that will teach them to regulate their heart rate and, in turn, all of the stress produced by their organism.
Finally, we teach them to better manage their relationship with digital tools for them to no longer be a source of stress. One of the keys we give them consists of consulting their inbox only twice a day, in the morning and at night. And that makes all the difference!” explains Jean-Philippe Espenel, Wellness Coach at the Vichy hôtel Spa les Célestins.
