Lining up to rival some of the world’s leading medical spas with its confluence of advanced aesthetic treatments, luxury facilities and expert practitioners, all in the tranquil natural surrounds of South Africa’s famed Franschhoek Valley, Terre Paisible Medical Rejuvenation & Spa will offer its guests nothing less than a transformational journey to optimal wellbeing and vitality when it opens its doors on 8th October 2024.
True to its name, meaning ‘Peaceful Land’, this luxury wellness destination promises the ultimate nurturing retreat and sensory reset for guests from far and near. Within easy reach of other winelands hotspots and a 50-minute drive from Cape Town, it is also serenely tucked away between olive groves and vineyards on a working boutique farm, home to Terre Paisible’s award-winning collection of terroir-driven fine wines and extra virgin olive oils. Absolute privacy, deep relaxation and elevation beyond the ordinary are essential underpinnings to the world-class treatments available.
Shirley van Wyk, Terre Paisible’s Managing Director, says, “Our treatment programmes are expertly curated to offer complete revitalization at a cellular level, extending beyond aesthetic enhancement to include metabolic and hormonal enhancement as well as compensating for imbalanced genetic characteristics. Through the combination of advanced medical aesthetics with personalised wellness regimens and the uplifting experience of being in a beautiful, calming location, guests will feel restored to their best self. The treatments we offer are results-driven, and we employ the highest calibre of devices, people and facilities in order to fulfill them, ensuring our guests a glowing new lease of life through the process.”
Meticulous diagnosis and measurable results are the foundation of the bespoke treatment plans devised for guests by TPMRS’s rigorously trained team of medical professionals and experienced therapists in advanced aesthetics. London-based functional medicine practitioner Tania Malan—founder of the ‘Raw to Roar’ movement—serves as a consultant to discern a full picture of hormonal to gut biome health, using tests such as the DUTCH™ test (DUTCH™ is a group of validated tests that provide a complete evaluation of sex and adrenal hormones, including metabolites) as well as looking at genetic predisposition through DNAlysis™ tests. Customised treatment plans are devised using the analysis to ensure each individual wellness journey is as unique as their guests. Other diagnostic technologies employed by TPMRS include the internationally lauded Visa Facial Analysis and Inbody Assessment Analysis tools, which are used on site.
Leading the advanced aesthetics team is Dr. Marlé le Roux, a trusted name in the field of aesthetic & functional medicine, who provides treatment with the cutting-edge Ultherapy®, considered the global gold standard in non-surgical skin lifting and tightening. It joins other safe, highly effective, FDA-approved therapies such as the Emerald™ Laser, a revolutionary full-body fat loss treatment, currently exclusively offered at TPMRS. From non-invasive laser to microneedling therapies, all TPMRS treatments aim for minimal downtime and provide almost immediate refreshment. These can be augmented with other spa treatments with skincare lines including the clinically approved Biologique Recherche, Mesoestetic, Philosophia Botanica, ZO, and certified organic Esse Microbiome Skincare. Significantly, guests will be able to continue with their advanced aesthetic treatment programmes at associated medical spas around the world in line with TPMRS’s collaborative international footprint. In addition to this, TPMRS have included expertise and internationally advanced cosmetic dentistry focused on restorative and aesthetic dentistry using advanced international techniques.
Therapies are provided in eight elegantly appointed treatment rooms, which include two ultra-discreet suites with separate access. Each is equipped with ergonomically designed LEMI treatment beds, completely customisable to meet guests’ highest level of comfort, along with every other aspect of their experience at the wellness centre which was created with guidance of international spa consultant Jacoline Wentzel. With the release from the outside world comes an invitation to surrender to full sensory immersion, starting with a grounding sound bath ritual through to the powerful Solfeggio vibrations of the soothing music, chosen as part of the individualised healing journey. It continues post-treatment, when relishing the indulgent hydrotherapy, sauna and steam room.
A quiet, contemporary sanctuary in complete harmony with its natural surrounds, the wellness centre was designed with interior architects Tristan du Plessis Studio taking care of the immaculately conceived spaces within. A considered use of screens lends a subtle play of light and shadow to the architecture while creating a series of secluded spaces for rest or meditation, both indoors and out. Guests can also unwind at the poolside, positioned to take advantage of the awe-inspiring scenery, or order a nourishing snack or more substantial, super-food-charged meal in the landscaped gardens.
Every detail of the design and sensory experience at TPMRS is a celebration of natural wellness in all its vibrancy, a reference to the farm’s plenitude and the rejuvenating environment of this luxurious Franschhoek retreat. In the bountiful spirit of Terre Paisible, a sparkling toast to one’s health, wellbeing, and looking and feeling one’s vital best.
