The months seem to be flying by and it does not seem possible, especially with the recent weather, that summer is almost around the corner. Please read on for lots of things to cheer you up and help you to spring into summer!
Grayshott Spa's new Detox Programe devised by nutritionist and best-selling author Amanda Hamilton has sparked a great deal of interest, with some guests coming to stay from as far away as Hong Kong. As a consequence, our very own wonderful dietician Paula Gilbert has been rushed off her feet, but she loves meeting club members and is happy to extend to members the offer of 20% discount off the Best Test (Bio-Energetic Stress Testing).
This test has the ability to quickly, accurately and most important, painlessly, screen the body for food sensitivities and mineral and vitamin deficiencies. Paula will run through the analysis and recommend changes in eating patterns where recommended plus lots of valuable dietary advice.
BEST TEST £65 - includes Vitamin/Mineral Analysis and Food Intolerance Screening. 45 mins

Alexander Technique
Some of you are already aware that we are lucky to have Alan Mills MBE MSTAT giving regular talks and demonstrations at the Spa. Members are warmly welcome to attend. His next talks will be on 7 th and 21st May, all at 3pm.
"The Alexander Technique teaches you how to become aware of, and to release, unnecessary habitual patterns of muscular tension and postural misuse which have subconsciously become a routine in the way you think, move and react.
This is achieved in "one-to-one" lessons in which combined gentle manual guidance and verbal direction and instructions are given by a fully qualified and experienced Alexander Teacher. These lessons are designed to improve poise, posture and self-confidence and help to achieve better alignment and balance and to cope more easily with the stresses of everyday life."
All take place in the Cinema. If you cannot make these dates, then please check with Reception for alternatives as he also often comes in to give evening talks.
