Aindrila Mitra signs up for her first wellness retreat at SHA Wellness Clinic in Alicante and experiences an intensive but rewarding journey.
I’LL PUSH OUT THE DISCLAIMER up front. I’m no health junkie, and the thought of checking into a wellness clinic had never even occurred to me. But when I was invited for an experience at SHA Wellness Clinic in the beautiful port town of Alicante in Spain this summer, I decided it was time to take the dreaded plunge. I was stressed out and losing the rhythm of daily exercise. I could do with a nutritious diet for a few days, considering the trap of binge eating I fall into every time my cortisol levels swing up. I was assigned the Discovery Programme (a four-day schedule) by SHA’s experts, although they recommend the seven- or 14-day programmes to most of their guests to achieve the desired results.
Edijs, the Latvian chauffeur at SHA, welcomes me with a smile at the Valencia airport on a pleasant March evening. SHA Wellness Clinic is situated 150 kilometres away from Valencia. Driving past gorgeous landscapes, crossing the village town of Albir, I finally reach SHA, famished, exhausted, and hoping that my decision of checking into a wellness clinic wouldn’t lead to regrets. The clinic has already shared the agenda for my stay, which I can access on the SHA app. It seems intensive, but I have signed up for a short wellness journey, after all.
