2 3 3 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I www.shawellnessclinic.com In my consultation with Miss Giménez, whose exuberance is uplifting, it was reassuring to see howmuch the experts care about their patients and how deep their knowledge in their respective subject field is. Miss Giménez discovered the profound benefits of nutrition in relation to health after helping cure her daughter from a disorder which conventional medicine failed to do. She made great recommendations and offered useful tips on how to avoid habits that you already know are not good. Dr. Maria Dolores Antón Rico was also incredibly warm and friendly and she recommended a short and non-invasive aesthetic medical technique, which has been proven on a global level for anti-ageing of the skin. In alliance with the traditional and widely accepted forms of treatments such as acupuncture or osteopathy, guests can create their own schedule of beneficial therapies at SHA to make sure they look and feel younger and healthier. Whatever the affliction might be, and whatever the cause, SHA can identify it and propose the best course of action. SHA can even help guests before any malady or ill health occurs with their Preventive Health and Genetics Unit. The concept is ‘predict to prevent’ and thanks to a series of genetic studies, SHA can identify the possible predisposition that adults may have to a disease such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, cognitive impairment, skin conditions, gum disease, etc. Predictive medicine thus allows SHA’s experts to identify and anticipate the potential of a disease through various medical tests and studying a person's genetic profile. Once aware of the risk involved in developing any disease, SHA can offer guests a specialist so that they can take suitable and necessary measures to avoid potential ill health. Early treatment and proper living habits allow prevention before the onset of symptoms and side effects occur. Reflecting upon SHA’s entire medical facility and professional staff the founder Mr. Bataller says, “We have continued to innovate, launch new treatments, new medical areas such as the Bioenergetics Unit to the Cognitive Development Unit and welcome new professionals to our clinic; there are now almost 300 from 35 different countries. Moreover, almost 40,000 people from all over the world have made positive adjustments to their health and wellbeing making significant changes in their lives.” It’s little wonder then that SHA has accrued over 40 international awards in seven years, including the Condé Nast Johansens Best Destination Spa Award 2016. And it doesn’t matter if you are Present Vladimir Putin or regular guests such as KylieMinogue andNaomi Campbell – everyone is treated and cared for with equal dedication from the entire SHA family. When you leave SHA it feels like you’ve had a few bottles of the elixir of life. Not the diet, not the abstinence from everyday things like coffee, tea, dairy products and sugar, not the fitness classes and activities…none of it is difficult. The only tough thing about staying at SHAWellness Clinic is adjusting to life outside again when you have to leave. If you want to kick-start a new healthy lifestyle – the one that you keep putting off – then SHA will help to make that better version of yourself a reality.
