A multi-sensory treatment room
Nowadays, people spend their time racing through life in the fast lane, driven by the constant pressure to make sure they don’t miss out or fail to meet up to expectations. The consequences of this are conflict, dissatisfaction and stress – all at the cost of our health. This is where the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz comes in with new treatments. Europe’s Leading Wellbeing &Medical Health Resort is renowned for its interdisciplinary medical expertise and a range of wellbeing services based on the healing powers of the Ragazer thermal water to comprehensively improve and maintain people’s health.
Introducing new dimensions of wellbeing
In cooperation with Harald Kitz, the resort further expanded its range of haki services (see footer info) in 2017 and created an innovative and globally unique treatment suite in its Tamina Therme, one of the resorts Spa areas: “haki® – Time out for your head”. Based on his many years of experience, the founder of the haki philosophy combined space, music, sound, colours, fragrances and the thermal water experience with the touching of the body and the activation of the senses to help the people of today find their rhythm. “Guests who use the room can set aside any pressure that is weighing down on them and place themselves in our capable hands. We therapists help them discover new strength and their body’s natural balance,” comments Kitz in explanation of his greatest wellbeing masterpiece to date. What makes the treatments so extraordinary is the sophisticated manner in which infrastructure, atmosphere and treatment are combined. In four sensory worlds, new 60- to 150-minute rituals exclusively available in Bad Ragaz provide relaxation and inner harmony. They can be experienced individually (CHF 160.– to 350.–) or as couple’s treatments (CHF 290.– to 650.–).

“haki® – Time out for your head” – alone or with your loved one
To launch the haki rituals in the specially designed “haki® – The Art of Touch” treatment suite, the GrandResort Bad Ragaz is offering guests the exclusive “haki® – a treatment for two” overnight package. The “haki® – Reconciliation” treatment is the most comprehensive of the four rituals, releasing guests from physical and emotional pressure in order to offer new strength to their body, mind and soul. The ritual begins in the Room of the Senses, which uses darkness to help guests focus on inner mindfulness. Hearing, touch, smell and feel are all important. Guests then have any burdens, troubled thoughts and negative energy washed away in the Rain Hall, where the warm, healing thermal water is cleansing and releasing. The third step is characterised by touch. Foam and compress massages, thermal water affusions and a warm, full-body oil treatment, followed by a haki treatment, release pressure and tension from the body. The treatment ends with a period of calm and creativity, until it is time to return to the outside world – with a new level of consciousness. The package offers guests a new dimension of wellbeing in the five-star atmosphere of the Grand Resort Bad Ragaz until 20 December 2017:

About the haki method
Back in 2014, the resort introduced several treatments in the Tamina Therme based on the haki method, which gives new meaning to the concept of wellbeing through the holistic perception of the individual. The unique treatments and rituals based on the haki philosophy help the people of today to cast off the burdens of everyday life and relax every facet of their being – whether in the thermal water or on a massage table. The haki® flow deluxe treatment pays particular heed to the origins of the company – the Ragazer thermal water: in the early hours of the morning, before the Tamina Therme opens for the day, the session in 36.5°C water realigns the energy flow of people who are stressed. The treatment was named “Best in Switzerland” in the “Best Signature Treatment” category of the 2016 European Health & Spa Awards.
