I’m just back from a glorious 4 days at Miraval Austin Wellness Resort. And I’ve learned a little about self-care for dummies!
The dummy in this situation is me. Maybe you might see yourself in that characterization too, but, read this as a self-schooling.
Like many women with work, kids,
family, and a whole host of responsibilities, self-care isn’t much a priority for me. I tend to focus on care-giving for everyone else. I don’t carve out some time for me, so to take 4 full days to focus on my self-care and wellness at Miraval Austin was an awakening.
And besides the self-care, the food and service at this resort was just exceptional.
Let me share just a little here, and I’ll follow up with a bit more next week. (And check out the wellness corner article below about Miraval’s Equine experiences.)
The arrival day got off to an incredible start for having an epic time at Miraval Austin Resort & Spa!
You’re met at the Austin airport for a shuttle that whisks you away to the resort on a nature preserve, 25 minutes away.
They have a gazillion activities to choose from, my brain almost short-circuited from excitement. But then I remembered, self-care is the name of the game. So, I went for a hot oil massage, a tour of the property (yurts, culinary kitchens, and infinity pools, oh my!), and finished it off with a ‘wine and your sign’ wine tasting and astrological reading. Can you guess my sign?
The first full day did not disappoint!
I started the day with a morning nature walk around the property and preserve, with a morning meditation and gong banging all before breakfast and then a visit to their Cypress farm.
