Kandice VincentWhenever I want to take a mini-break from the stresses of adulting, I give myself a little treat. Maybe a facial here, a pedicure there, a chill cafe hang, or a fun Sunday brunch.
But there are ultra-hard days when a simple massage or sauna sesh just won’t cut it. That’s when I book myself into a wellness retreat.
Just imagine a couple of days where you can totally unplug. Facials, massages, skin treatments, maybe a yoga session or two, combined with delicious farm-to-table food—sounds like a dream, right?
So, don’t just think about it—book now at one of the top wellness retreats in Toronto that we curated just for you. You know you deserve it—we all do.
