It was an honour to speak at Forum HOTel&SPA Paris this week. A huge thank you to Vladi Kovanic and Mark Moloney for this opportunity.
I spoke about the evolving human factor in a technologically advanced world. Within the session I addressed the paradox of increasing loneliness despite constant connectivity, noting that guests now seek wellness for human connection and emotional safety. I highlighted the importance of advanced training for therapists, focusing on emotional resilience and injury-free techniques. I took this opportunity to advocate for better working conditions for therapists, integrating selfcare and mental wellbeing into their training. To conclude, I expressed my belief that the future of wellness should prioritise preserving human experiences over technological advancements, ensuring that clients feel cared for and connected.
Wonderful to see Amy Goller Keller, Victoria Dello Ioio, Kirsty MacCormick and to hear Simone Gibertoni speak.
Congratulations to Anna Pierzak for your award.
