The Wellness Travel Show
Hi! I'm Cheryl MacKinnon, host of The Wellness Travel Show. Thanks for listening to our insider reviews on living and travelling well.
We're all about sharing tips and tricks from respected health and well-being experts on being your best at home and on the road. We also feature wellness getaways from mountain-top retreats to oceanfront luxury resorts and fabulous urban hotels close to art galleries, music venues and gardens because wellness is much more than a good yoga pose! Although we think it's great that we can find a class almost anywhere now.
We love hearing from our listeners, so visit https://wellnesstravelbc.com/ and sign up for our VIP newsletter. Subscribers receive monthly news about our show and contests as well as exclusive product and travel rates. Enjoy the shows!
