4 Days at SHA Wellness: My Rejuvenating Reset in Mexico

When I arrived at SHA Wellness Clinic in Isla Mujeres, I was ready for a four-day wellness reboot, plus, I was hoping for a pre-wedding glow-up!  With it being set right on the beach, SHA immediately gave off a vibe that screams luxury summer camp for adults except, instead of archery or campfire songs, you’re doing personal training, diagnostics, and therapies that leave you feeling amazing.

My stay was a healthy mix of detox, relaxation, and some learning along the way.  Whether you’re looking to kickstart a health transformation in 2025 or just need to recharge, take a look at my schedule below. Hopefully, you can grab a few ideas to make the most of your SHA experience!

Day 1 | Easing into SHA’s Wellness World

7:00 AM: Breakfast

From the first breakfast, it was clear this would be a shift from my usual routine. I started each morning with warm miso soup, something I’d never tried for breakfast but found surprisingly soothing. It’s a different kind of fuel to start the day, but I leaned into it!

9:00 AM: Personal Training Assessment

Kicking off with a fitness assessment that helps tailor the program’s physical aspects. It’s a straightforward session that gets you clear on your fitness goals.

10:30 am – 11:30 am: Advanced Prevention Diagnosis, Health Assessment, and Nutritional Consultation

The first day was packed with assessments: personal training, advanced diagnostics, and a nutrition consultation. This was super-educational for me and helped the SHA team design tailored meals based on my goals. It was weird and fun – I felt both totally at ease and slightly out of my comfort zone; after all, this is the place for serious wellness, and you can feel it. The agenda planning session was helpful, as it gave me an overview of what to expect (and where to squeeze in a beach break!).

1:00 pm – Lunch

SHA’s cuisine isn’t just health-focused; the flavors are fresh, and you won’t feel like you’re sacrificing anything. If you’re trying to lose weight, be prepared for smaller portion sizes which can take some getting used to.

3:30 pm – Indiba Facial

My first treatment was the Indiba facial, a high-tech experience that left my skin feeling refreshed. It’s designed to boost collagen production and give your skin more tone. As opposed to lasers, it uses radio-frequency electrical pulses so it’s totally painless.

7:00 pm – Dinner

The menu was balanced, flavorful, and somehow felt indulgent despite being meticulously tailored to my health plan. Unfortunately, I couldn’t have dessert, but Brandon’s gluten-free, dairy-free options looked delicious!
