Dior Spa creates its own international well-being team and welcomes its first three Dior Wellness Experts and ambassadors. The House thereby extends its unique vision of well-being, reaching beyond beauty and skincare. It moves one step closer to inspiring a complete lifestyle and offering an integrative wellness dimension in which body and mind are in perfect harmony.
Since its first Spa opened more than fifteen years ago, Dior has developed a unique and global vision of well-being. By taking care of the body and the mind, the House has confirmed its position as an expert in this multi-facetted world, envisioning its Spas as complete experiences. The specific techniques used by the Dior therapists are combined with protocols carried out using high-tech tools and cutting-edge methods for the face and the body, as well as treatments that aim to improve sleep, vitality, digestive balance and stress management.
Having identified the most renowned specialists with the biggest followings, among a star clientele in particular, the House has surrounded itself with an international team of experts in extremely specific fields. This unprecedented concept completes a unique philosophy of wellness and initiates a veritable science of well-being: Dior Spa Science.
Drawing inspiration from the programs and treatments available in the Spas, Dior identified 7 fields of expertise: facial treatments, involving both manual techniques and high-tech tools, muscle work on the body, its functional and anatomical improvement, nutrition, relaxation, and disciplines with an emotional dimension. Working with specialists in these different fields, Dior will offer redesigned treatments and co-create diagnostic tools and programs that can be customized as desired. They can all be discovered during wellness retreats organized each year at the different Dior Spas and exclusive events inspired by the spirit of sharing and guiding inherent in social wellness. These truly integrative experiences are moments that can be continued at home thanks to customized advice, enabling each guest to compose their own everyday well-being routine. Three major well-being figures now join the Dior Wellness Experts team.
Famous English facialist Hadda Akrim created three skin treatments that work from the inside and outside. Having suffered from acne when she was younger, she developed a method combining ultra-precise and targeted holistic techniques that are incredibly effective, to create customized treatments. Last year, Hadda opened her very first clinic, Minimal by Hadda, where she offers her signature treatments. For Dior Spa, Hadda designed the new Kobi-Dior facial treatment revealing an exclusive “figure-8” manual massage: efficient and perfectly enveloping, it is also a nod to Monsieur Dior’s favorite number.
Bryony Deery discovered the benefits of Pilates during physiotherapy after a road accident at the age of 17. Ten years later, the Briton opened her studio and launched her health and fitness app, Pilates by Bryony. Her approach combines the principles of classic mat Pilates with contemporary energizing movements that act lastingly on the body and the mind. With “everyone can do Pilates” as a mantra, Bryony designs easily achievable programs and routines for everyone. For the first time, Bryony will be holding sessions during the new Dior Cruise in Paris, in August 2024. She will also be sharing her method during classes at wellness retreats held at the Dior Spa in the Hotel Cap-Eden-Roc in Antibes, and at the Dior Spa The Lana in Dubai, this coming September and October.
These retreats also provide the occasion to meet another expert: nutritionist and functional medicine practitioner, Rose Ferguson. Following a modelling career in the 1990s, Rose went back to school at the Institute of Functional Medicine in the United States. A certified IFM practitioner with a Master’s in advanced nutrition and a diploma in naturopathy, she founded the “5 Day Plan”, a nutrition method that aims to rebalance food habits in a few days, to return to an optimum balance of form, health and mental well-being.
By bringing together key notions of longevity, such as nutrition, sleep, physical exercise, mental well-being and beautiful skin, in complete, tailor-made programs, Dior makes integral wellness a fundamental pillar of the Dior Spa DNA. By offering more than just a space dedicated to face and body treatments, the House Spas are transformed into genuine sanctuaries where well-being is elevated to a healthy, essential lifestyle that each person can cultivate on a daily basis, and perfect according to their needs, accompanied by the best experts.
