Luxury Private Wellness Escape in Palm Beach with Healing Therapies

Best Life-ing describes itself as a holistic wellness company that brings together over 111 healers, teachers, and coaches. For this private retreat, the team curates a program specifically for you, drawing on a long list of modalities. The source lists kundalini yoga, meditation, regression hypnotherapy, breathwork, Reiki, sound healing, journaling, self-reflection, bodywork, yoga Nidra, acupuncture, and hypnotic sound among what you might experience.

The example three-day itinerary gives a good sense of the pacing. Day one starts with a welcome ceremony and intention setting at 12:30pm, then moves into breathwork, journaling, and a yoga Nidra session. Day two starts with a gentle deep stretch or yin class, then a regression hypnotherapy session with Julia, integration time, more breathwork, and an evening hypnotic sound journey. Day three closes with kundalini yoga, a Nir Levi bodywork session, Reiki, and a closing ceremony before check-out.

The location is the Colony Hotel, a four-star, 1940s-era property that's a Palm Beach institution. Rooms are decorated by Kemble Interiors in punchy colors with scalloped trim and wicker accents. The spa, Naturopathica, is where most sessions happen, and guests also have access to the hotel's pool, sauna, restaurant, and a yoga deck. The beach is a short walk, and the hotel runs a signature 'Colony Pink' vintage Land Rover Defender 110 for trips around the island.

Julia Brodska is the founder and lead practitioner. Her personal story — overcoming self-doubt, $80,000 of credit card debt, and weight issues — is the basis of her best-selling book, 'Best Life-ing'. She's based between Miami and California, and the company also runs versions of this retreat in East Hampton, Beverly Hills, Chelsea, and Miami. The other teachers named include Vanesa, a Miami-based yoga and movement teacher, and KoTo, a kundalini yoga and sound healing instructor.
