Nourish the Guide has always been focused on supporting local wellbeing businesses since its inception in 2016- it is the core of what we do. On this beautiful island we call home, there is an incredible amount to offer if you want to stay happy, healthy, balanced, active and fit, and it is our aim to help you discover these fabulous resources which are at our fingertips. Now more than ever small businesses in Mallorca need our support so please look for local first for all your wellbeing needs. This month we’re showcasing some fantastic Mallorcan businesses well worth checking out.

GIFTING LOVE, HOPE & POSITIVITY

 We may still not have had the opportunity to meet up with all of our friends and loved ones but the perfect gift to let someone know you’re thinking of them at this time is a Wish Capsule necklace from local bespoke jewellery company, Natalia Jana Design. These gorgeous and unique necklaces bear a sterling silver capsule, which hold your mantra, quote or special message hidden inside. Any Wish Capsule order you place with Natalia via direct message on Instagram (@nataliajanadesign) will receive a 20% discount and free shipping worldwide. www.nataliajana.com

 SAVOURING SMALL RITUALS

 The ritual of brewing and savouring a morning coffee can bring a sense of calm, joy and gratitude to the day, especially when we seem to be continually processing bleak news and anxious thoughts about the future. Our absolute favourite beans come from Mistral Coffee here on the island. Mistral’s high graded ecological coffee is sourced from countries such as Kenya, Ethiopia, Brazil, Rwanda, Costa Rica, Colombia, Honduras. The Mistral team loves to continually discover the incredible differences in flavours depending on the different countries and methods chosen by the farmers, and are always testing and trying to bring out as much flavour and taste from each batch of beans they roast to give true meaning to the words ‘speciality coffee’. Pick up your Mistral beans at their Palma store near Plaza Major or have them delivered directly to your door. www.mistralcoffeecompany.com

MAKING MEMORIES

 Now that we are starting to be able to venture back out in nature, it’s the perfect time to create some new positive and uplifting memories for 2020. While enjoying the sun and sea why not immortalise your experiences through beautiful photography? Simon De Vits specialises in breath-taking underwater photographs and captures those special island moments.

PEACE, CLARITY AND FREEDOM FROM WITHIN

 For many people, deep, diaphragmatic breathing is no longer instinctive. Instead we’ve become shallow chest breathers, inhaling through our mouth, holding our breath and taking in less air. Times of stress and anxiety only exacerbate this type of breathing and contribute to a host of health problems as a result. Amrita Liza Lilintahl is a local BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release® Practitioner in Training, and offers BioDynamic Breathwork & Trauma Release® sessions which are designed in an integrated series to energize, open and balance your whole being. A breathwork session uses conscious connected breath to activate the areas of the body that have been stuck and are in a state of tension and contraction, sometimes for many years. Physical and emotional charge is often released, bringing opening, expansion, clarity, lightness, and a new sense of connection to the physical body based in safety and allowance. To find out more about these transformative breathwork sessions email Amrita directly at amritasnectar@gmail.com or visit www.biodynamicbreath.com

A POST LOCKDOWN PAMPER

We could all do with a bit of pampering after months left to our own devices! Bikini Beach Boutique and Spa is open for business again and has you covered for all those therapeutic treatments you need and deserve. Whether it be a Lycon wax, manicure, facial or massage, their experienced spa therapists will leave you feeling gorgeous and glowing. They only use the very best products for their restorative and rejuvenating treatments, and you can even incorporate a personal shopping session at their boutique while you’re there, having you well and truly summer ready.
