The Revitalize Wellness Center has opened in the commercial neighbourhood of Westlands in Nairobi, Kenya, offering a new gym, group fitness classes, spa treatments, nutrition consultations, meditation, yoga, a hair salon, plus a coffee and juice bar. Men and women are welcome at the facility, where Elemis facial and body treatments can be enjoyed, including the Elemis Absolute Spa Ritual and Elemis Exotic Lime & Ginger Salt Glow. Other treatments feature local ingredients, for example, the Kenyan coffee bean scrub.
“Around the world, there is a growing interest in changing the way we take care of ourselves – not just our bodies, but also our minds, spirit, society and planet,” said Susan Rodrigues, managing director and owner of Revitalize. “There is a growing impetus for a shift to a proactive and holistic approach to addressing and preventing the root causes of our personal and societal ills. This is what our wellness movement is all about.”
“The global interest in, and confidence about wellness, is poised to impact everything about the way we live our lives, from the products we buy to the places where we work and play,” Rodrigues added. “The Revitalize brand in Kenya is about to do just that.”
The coffee and juice bar will serve smoothies, gourmet coffee and tea infused with Ganoderma mushroom extract – commonly used in traditional Asian herbal remedies.
Data from a Global Wellness Tourism Congress (GWTC) study, conducted by SRI International, found that Africa’s wellness-focused travel is set to experience a boom – with this wellness centre launch likely to be one of many in the coming years.
