“It’s sustainable well being catered to the
individual client, encompassing mind, body
and spiritwithout the woo-woo”accommodation,” says Seonaid Thomas of
Burgess, who notes that the firm has worked
with guests who have needed to bring doctors
or physios on board during a charter.
Webster believes that, if handled correctly,
bringing experts on board can help to relieve
pressure on the crew. “An issue I’ve found is
that unless it’s a really big crew, the massage
therapist on board is also a stewardess and can
only devote limited time to a massage,” he adds.
It can also create the opportunity to sample
a new expert or type of treatment. Thomas
recommends Noona Ayres, a former yacht
manager who became a yogi and reiki master,
founding the company Revitalize with a
mission to help people searching for well-being
and peace. “She now goes on board ofering
her services all the time,” says Thomas.B3 of the best
