A behind-the-scenes look at Terranam Wellness & self-care tips for taking better care of yourself.
BY MARIA GARRIDO - 4 MINUTE READ
REALIZING A DREAM
I poured my heart into making my vision for Terranam Wellness a reality. From the beginning - as my team can attest - I have been a stickler for details, ensuring guests have time for themselves, that fresh flowers are put in their rooms, that the food is impecabbly delicious, that we treat everyone with kindness, etc., etc. I always wanted to ensure our guests live an unforgettable experience during our wellness retreats.
In the two years we've been open, I couldn't be prouder of our perfect 5 star rating on Google! 🤩
My team is obsessed with making sure that our wellness retreats are beyond expectations.
But the moment of truth comes when it's all over.
THE CALM AFTER THE STORM
Wellness retreats provide a holistic approach to health and well-being, addressing the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of individuals' lives. Our retreats offer a valuable opportunity for relaxation, rejuvenation, and personal growth, all amidst a stunning natural environment.
At Terranam, we believe in fostering community, kindness and overall wellbeing. And yet, the real treasures of our wellness retreats are hidden away in a beautiful little book that sits in our cozy living space. On Sunday mornings, after the days of connecting with ourselves and with others come to a close, our guests-now friends- leave Terranam Wellness with their spirit renewed.
To our delight, it's often hard for guests to leave. I've had retreaters tell me they've decided to move in or they jokingly refuse to give us back the key to their room. We've even had some weepy sessions of departures for many that feel Terranam gave them a moment of pause, peace and self-love in their otherwise hectic lives.
When the guests have left and the Manor house is quiet, I have a bittersweet routine I settle into. I sit down with a cup of herbal tea in our beautifully appointed living space and read the loving messages they have left in our guestbook. As you'll see, these are not the ones they leave on Google reviews, but go much deeper in articulating the experience they've had with us.
Many of the messages have brought me to tears. They are a testament to why we do what we do. We believe in kindness for our guests and karma has shown its beautiful light on us, too. We have been overwhelmed by the generosity received in return.
On this spring Sunday morning, I thought I'd share some of their thoughts on their wellness experience with us, in the hopes it inspires you to come visit us for your own moment of peace.

SELF CARE TIP
When you express gratitude, you are acknowledging the kindness, effort, or generosity of others. Saying thank you to someone helps you focus on the positive aspects of life and can boost your mood and overall sense of well-being. Make sure you make this your own selfcare practice every day.
