A Top Choice for Canadian Wellness Travellers
Canada has quickly become one of SHA’s strongest guest markets. With its Caribbean location and direct flight access, SHA Mexico offers Canadians an accessible sanctuary where evidence-based medicine meets beachside tranquility.
Wellness tourism is booming, globally valued at $830 billion in 2023 and projected to exceed $1.3 trillion by 2028, according to the Global Wellness Institute. Canadians are a key part of this growth, with the national wellness travel market expected to triple by 2030.
For those seeking to invest in their wellbeing, SHA offers a range of programs, including Rebalance & Energise (from €2,500 / CAD $3,600 for four days), with accommodations starting at €450 / CAD $650 per night.
World Longevity Month: Everyday Habits That Add Years to Your Life
To mark World Longevity Month, SHA’s medical team is sharing small, science-backed habits that anyone can incorporate into daily life:
Prioritize Sleep Hygiene
7–9 hours of quality rest helps slow biological aging and preserve cognitive health.
Tip: Dim lights and avoid screens one hour before bedtime to support natural melatonin release.
Manage Stress Through Breath
Controlled breathing improves heart rate variability and reduces stress-driven aging.
Tip: Try paced breathing, inhale for 4 seconds, exhale for 6, for 5 minutes, twice a day.
Support Gut Health
A balanced microbiome strengthens immunity and lowers inflammation.
Tip: Include fermented foods like kimchi, sauerkraut, and kefir, and aim for 25–30g of fiber daily.
Move With Purpose
Fitness is one of the strongest predictors of healthy aging.
Tip: Follow the “Longevity Trio”, 150 minutes of cardio, two strength sessions per week, plus daily movement breaks.
Women and Longevity: Extending Vitality Beyond Menopause
By Dr. Belegui Sánchez, SHA Wellness
Women live, on average, four years longer than men, yet face higher risks of chronic illness in later life. The key lies in estrogen, a powerful biological protector that supports cardiovascular, cognitive, and cellular health.
At SHA Wellness Clinic, the Women’s Unit was created to extend these protective benefits through personalized, evidence-based care. The unit combines:
- Tailored hormone therapies and advanced gynecology
- Pelvic floor physiotherapy and IV infusions
- Psychology, Mind & Body programs, and osteopathy
- Training plans and wellness coaching, guided by a team led primarily by women
SHA’s approach reframes menopause not as a decline, but as an opportunity, a time to optimize health, vitality, and emotional balance.
The SHA Method
At the core of every experience is the SHA Method, an integrative system built on nine pillars: healthy nutrition, preventive medicine, cognitive and emotional health, inner balance, natural therapies, aesthetic medicine, physical performance, sexual wellbeing, and lifestyle education.
Each stay is personalized through comprehensive diagnostics, combining Western medical innovation with Eastern healing traditions. More than 70,000 guests have experienced SHA’s transformative programs, leaving with renewed energy and a deeper understanding of how to live well, longer.
A Global Vision for Longevity and Wellbeing
Founded by Alfredo Bataller Parietti and led by his son Alejandro Bataller, SHA Wellness was born from a personal journey of healing that became a global movement. With award-winning destinations in Spain and Mexico, and a new resort opening in the United Arab Emirates in 2027, SHA continues to unite science and serenity, inviting travellers worldwide to invest in what truly matters: health, balance, and longevity.
