Why do executives need a wellness retreat?

---

Let's face it, being an executive is a hard job. The pressures, demands and hours are long, rigorous and draining.  Executives are constantly under intense pressure and they dedicate a tremendous amount of hours to their jobs. Executives know their decisions can have significant impact on the entire organization. Over time, the stress executives feel not only takes its toll on their health, but also on his family who have to witness the effects of this stress and burn out.  The symptoms they experience are real.  From migraines to anxiety, to back pain and sleeplessness, stress spares no one.  When stressed, we may find it difficult to concentrate.  We may find we lose our appetite or eat more than usual. Chronic stress can worsen pre-existing health problems and may increase our use of alcohol, tobacco and other substances.  Even the strongest and fittest find it impossible to escape the claws of stress.  Without a retreat from the stress and rigors of work, the mind and body cannot recover from its effects. Many executives ignore the signs of stress and push forward. Executives need to be reassured acknowledging the stress is real and it won’t make you weak by accepting it, but it will make you stronger if you combat it. 

At Southern Charm Wellness Retreat, we have seen these effects of stress on executives before.  Our wellness program was designed to help over worked executives by using calming techniques to sooth the mind, body and soul. Our resident physician, Dr. Harvey Wolf, MD, a board certified Internist who has been practicing medicine for over 40 years, has collaborated with us to design a superior relaxation program to help destress executives.  His wealth of experience and knowledge has been instrumental in us designing a relaxing, yet invigorating program to help stressed out executives regain their inner peace, reduce the feeling of burnout, and ultimately improve mental clarity.  We use yoga, massages, spa treatments and good old fashioned home cooking by local chefs to bring back tranquility and a sense of peace back to the soul.  Our program would not be complete without a full medical work up by our licensed physician.  

We believe our program can help executives from all over the world.  Give us a call and ask about how our retreat can help you today. We would also like to know if anyone has any specific mobility challenges, dietary requirements, medical needs, availability limitations, or other challenges that might affect their retreat.  We will need to know ahead of time so we can make proper arrangements. Our retreats are specifically designed for each person attending.  We treat all our guests individually as each person is different and has different set of needs.
