International wellness consultancy Glowing Flow debuts to meet global demand

With wellness travel on the rise as a key growth area for hospitality, there are many ways to deliver wellness experiences, yet most hotels and resorts do not have the skillset or the vision to execute authentic programming or retreats that are now in hot demand.

Answering a need for higher standards and experience, two of the world’s leading spa industry consultants have announced what has been billed as “the first Wellness Specialist hub”.

Glow Flow is “dedicated to the development of innovative tailored wellness concepts and the further enrichment of wellness professionals across the international spa, wellness and hospitality sector”.

Led by co-founders Patrizia Bortolin and Stefano Battaglia, both of whom are renowned for their Italian ‘wellness style’ which infuses their approach to life, relationships, beauty, health, and wellbeing, the new consultancy can offer bespoke 360-degree wellness project management, marketing strategies, team coaching and creative brainstorming.

Glowing Flow: a wellness specialist hub

With a mission to develop transformational wellness concepts rooted in creativity, healing and sustainability wellness, Bortolin and Battaglia are seeking to provide wellness and hospitality investors with the concepts and skills to deliver “a much deeper integration of wellness within the overall holiday experience, and a greater interaction with the destination itself”.

As today’s travellers are seeking more authentic and meaningful travel experiences, as well as new, more sustainable ways to enhance their wellbeing, Glowing Flow promises to provide bespoke wellness solutions for investors looking to develop successful wellness programming and retreats.

Bortolin offers a proven track record of delivering memorable unique wellness concepts at iconic properties including Borgo Egnazia in Puglia Italy and the iconic Euphoria Retreat, Greece. Mostly recently the extraordinary new “Preidlhof Way” transformational retreat programmes now available at the much celebrated Preidlhof spa resort in the South Tyrol, Italy.

Next-level wellness

Glowing Flow’s new wellness services are available for all investors looking for ‘next level wellness’.

Patrizia Bortolin told European Spa: “My love for the world of spas, my passion for hotels and the culture and beauty of travel inspired me to open a business in which I can focus on what really matters – that which makes the wellness holiday of contemporary travellers truly authentic.

“In designing a unique and creative concept tailored to the place in which it is located with a different wellness philosophy for each property, one that is always sustainable, poetic, harmonious and unforgettable.”

Bortolin is a globally acclaimed wellness advisor and spa designer with a highly successful track record leading medical spas, spa destinations and luxury spa hotels, and a proven ability to design, develop and launch wellness concepts, retreats, treatments and unique products.

In addition to his deep repertoire of holistic and healing techniques, Battaglia is a teacher of meditation and mindfulness, and an experienced spa trainer.

“Joining me on this journey are the most extraordinary individuals, the best-in-field experts, healers, practitioners, and therapists that I have encountered over the years. They truly are the finest, starting with Stefano Battaglia, a pioneer of emotional and mental wellbeing in the spa sector and a source of constant inspiration. All are highly committed, collaborators who exude excellence and care in all areas necessary to create the new wellness,” confirms Bortolin.
