Healing Hotels of the World is hosting a virtual Master Class with wellness experts from luxury destination spas, Rancho la Puerta and The Farm at San Benito.

Sarah Livia Brightwood, president of Rancho La Puerta in Mexico, and Dr Marian Alonzo, medical chief at The Farm at San Benito in the Philippines, will share their wisdom during a 45-minute Zoom session.

The two women will detail what a typical healing guest journey looks like at each of their wellness destinations and discuss what guests need and want right now when it comes to healing.

Brightwood is the daughter of Rancho La Puerta’s founders, Edmond Bordeaux Szekely and industry figure, Deborah Szekely, and her love of the earth has shaped her life’s work.

In addition to her role as president, she cares for 80 acres of gardens at the Ranch, which she created 30 years ago and has nourished to their present state.

She is also President of Fundación La Puerta, through which she guides Rancho La Puerta's non-profit work in the region, and in 2007, she designed and opened La Cocina Que Canta at the Ranch, a culinary center and cooking school dedicated to teaching healthy eating.

Dr Alonzo serves as medical chief at The Farm at San Benito, and is an integrative medicine specialist. She is passionate about the principles that connect different streams in healing, including art therapy, behavioural biochemistry and healing movement.

She also researches the science of miracles and the energetic flows between different bodily organs to support the medical management of modern-day lifestyle illnesses, including autoimmune diseases, pre-psychiatric mental-emotional concerns, recovery from trauma and chronic pain management.

“We are so privileged to have these two strong, insightful women to share their insight with us,” says Elisabeth Ixmeier, co-founder of Healing Hotels of the World.

“Both Rancho La Puerta and The Farm at San Benito are true healing destinations, and the combined wisdom and knowledge that Sarah Livia and Dr Marian possess is truly amazing.”

The session is free, and will take place on Tuesday 14 July from 4:00- 4:45 pm (UTC), to sign up and receive log-in details, participants must RSVP beforehand to [email protected].
