“Davina’s dedication to the community, coupled with her personal interest and enthusiasm for health and wellness will be instrumental in the successful expansion of our programme, while allowing our guests to enjoy a renewed level of Zen at Lake Louise,” said Gregor Resch, general manager of Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise.

The new wellness programme is based on the pillars of mindfulness, meditation, creativity, happiness, resilience and optimal wellbeing, and features a series of wellness retreats with instructors from Canada and the US.

The Chateau will use its mountainous lakeside setting within the Canadian Rocky Mountains as the backdrop for these experiences.
