Talk (and walk) therapy
“Forget the couch in 2021—we are heading outdoors for our therapy sessions. Since the onset of the pandemic, many therapists have stopped seeing clients in the office due to safety concerns and are doing teletherapy as a safer alternative. While telehealth will continue to be a very viable and safe way to deliver therapy services, many therapists and clients miss seeing each other in person. I have been doing walk-and-talk sessions with clients on nature trails, roads, and beaches, and expect eco출장마사지-therapy to become more popular in 2021. With walk-and-talk therapy, clients and therapists are moving together in nature and feeling connected,†said Tracy Nathanson, psychotherapist and founder of Pace of Mind Therapy.fter the uncertainty of 2020, it seems absurd to start predicting the future. But some things we do know.
The big wellbeing trends for 2021 will (of course) be massively influenced by what has happened to the world in 2020, from the necessary boom in tech wearables and wellness apps, to a keener awareness of the environment, systemic racism and Black Lives Matter, and mental wellbeing.
The loneliness and lack of touch we experienced in the epidemic has led to us reaching out in other ways. We want to feel connected, making ourselves feel well and safe again. An element of kindness has crept into the spa market, broadening our understanding of self-care. At the same time, mental health is naturally high on the agenda as is hygiene and immune system awareness.

To stay afloat in this world, we have all had to get super-creative, thinking outside the box in order to survive. We see this enormous creative outburst continuing to grow next year, possibly changing the world as we know it. For the better, we hope.

We Care is the new Self-Care. This is why we added a Best Community Spa category to our 2020 Awards (won by Aqua Sana Whinfell Forest, and sponsored by Natura Bissé). From the pandemic we learned that self-care was more than just a bubble bath and a tub of moisturiser: it’s about feeling connected and caring about others; being able to share openly, to listen non-judgementally and empathically. In 2021 we have to think collectively in order to stay safe. We expect to see larger companies sharing their profits, raising awareness, celebrating diversity and looking after their staff’s wellbeing.
Intention-focused wellness travel
“At Canyon Ranch, we increasingly see guests coming to our properties for an intention-focused stay, not just a vacation. Like so many people, they have struggled this past year to gain a more info foothold on their mental and emotional wellbeing. The challenging and traumatic events of 2020 have left us all feeling untethered from our normal routines. Travelers are seeking out experts, experiences, and places that will help them regain a feeling of stability. For some, it means getting back on a regular exercise program and returning to healthier eating habits. Others will look to the wisdom and guidance of a therapist, life coach, or spiritual teacher for clarity and understanding. And when they are ready to travel, wellness retreats and outdoor adventure experiences will be the destinations of choice. In these places, people will have an opportunity to reconnect with themselves, to others, to nature, and to their sense of purpose and joy,†said Jim Eastburn, corporate director of transformational experiences at Canyon Ranch.
Cold therapy
“Cold showers and cold water immersion will be popular in 2021. With the rise in cold exposure therapy led by people like Wim Hof and embraced by biohackers, performance coaches, and recovery specialists around the world, we are starting to see this trend become part of the mainstream. More and more experts are discussing the benefits of cold exposure and cold showers, which are cheap and available to nearly everyone. This trend will no doubt balloon in 2021 and make its way to most people’s social media feeds and maybe even their daily wellness practice. Start slow and give it go,†said Rick Richey, a fitness educator and co-owner of RēCOVER.
Cannabis beyond THC & CBD
“In 2021, we’ll see more widespread acceptance of cannabis use and the stigma surrounding it will significantly decrease. Cannabis will be supported for a broader range of medical and health benefits through renewed research efforts at universities and institutions across the country. It’s this research that has contributed to a wider range of cannabinoids, like CBG, THCV, and CBN, that we’ll start to see in products for both medicinal and adult use, and not just THC and CBD. As legalization expands and people look for more holistic ways to deal with their own medical issues and wellbeing, more people will discover how they can incorporate cannabis into their lives,†said Stacia Woodcock, PharmD, clinical cannabis pharmacist, dispensary manager, and practitioner outreach liaison at Curaleaf, along with the company’s senior vice president of innovation and research and development, Jessie Kater.
Touchless spa services
“Gone are the days when you can pop in to the spa for a massage without a worry. Touchless services, like cryotherapy, compression therapy, salt caves, infrared saunas, IV drips, hyperbaric chambers, and float tanks, offer a way for people to relax and recover—without any additional contact. Mindybody’s 2021 Wellness Index found that 31 percent of Americans interested in trying a new no-touch service in the midst of COVID. People need a way to decompress now more than ever, and no-touch spa services provide no-worry wellness as we head into 2021,†said Beth Leibovich, director of user research at Mindbody.
