Italian wellness professionals Patrizia Bortolin and Stefano Battaglia have launched a new spa and wellness consultancy, named Glowing Flow Wellness Specialists (Glowing Flow).
The duo hark from destination wellness resort Preidlhof in South Tyrol, Italy, where Bortolin acts as spa designer and wellness alchemist and Battaglia is a master therapist.
Described as a ‘wellness specialist hub’, Glowing Flow offers bespoke wellness project management, marketing strategies, team coaching and creative brainstorming.
The company’s main goal is to kickstart a deeper integration of wellness within consumers' overall holiday experience.
"My love for spas, my passion for hotels and the culture and beauty of travel inspired me to open a business in which I can focus on what matters – making truly authentic wellness holidays for contemporary travellers,” says Bortolin. “Joining me on this journey are the most extraordinary experts, healers, practitioners and therapists that I have encountered over the years.
“They are all truly the finest in their field – starting with Stefano Battaglia, who is a pioneer of emotional and mental wellbeing in the spa sector and a source of constant inspiration.
“All are highly committed, collaborators who exude excellence and care in all areas necessary to create the new wellness,” Bortolin says. Glowing Flow wants to help the following groups:
• Hotel owners interested in creating a sustainable and innovative wellness offering with high levels of customer care. Similarly, those looking to redesign or refresh existing spas and create new spa menus, treatments and retreats. • Hotel groups and corporations looking to expand their luxury hospitality offering with a versatile wellness proposal. These may be projects led by international investors or corporate hotel groups lacking a distinctive wellness concept or identity and in search of well-known names or unique experiences that are tailor-made and wholly unique to them. • Spa consultants and architects looking for a new wellness identity for their customers, or support in creating spaces and structures that are transformative and engaging with greater insight into body dynamics and how guests interact with spaces and environments. • Spa directors looking to improve sales, boost team performance and fulfilment and attract and retain talent. Glowing Flow will support directors to design new experiences for customers, to refresh or enhance their existing offerings and ensure the happiness of both staff and consumers is front and centre of their business strategy. • Wellness companies and cosmetic brands that want to integrate elements of holistic wellbeing into their products and create experiences for hotel spas tailored to operators and customers. Bortolin and Battaglia will continue to run their signature Glowing Flow Retreat at Preidlhof while also hosting this retreat as visiting practitioners at other wellness destinations. Requiring a minimum stay of five nights, the retreat incorporates trauma healing, meditation and transformational wellness to release emotional blocks, anxiety and tension using refined bodywork techniques designed to reconnect and harmonise the mind and body.
Prices start at €1,500 per person (US$1,501, £1,269) for a five-day Glowing Flow Retreat at Preidlhof, excluding accommodation fees.
