Leading with Wellness at Oak Bay Beach Hotel
The Wellness Travel Show
09/22/23 • 16 min
What a pleasure to have this conversation about wellness and hospitality with Madone Pelan, General Manager of the exquisite Oak Bay Beach Hotel in Victoria, British Columbia. During our time together, Madone shares the history of this waterfront gem, highlighting its Indigenous cultural roots with Coast Salish Songhees, to its modest beginning in 1927 as a small seaside Inn. The hotel's most recent incarnation saw a complete renovation from top to bottom, re-opening in 2012 to much fanfare and excitement as the emphasis was placed on what was then an emerging trend - wellness travel. Today, under the leadership of Madone along with her fine team of talented hotel executives, Oak Bay Beach Hotel delivers exceptional, award-winning programs and guest services. Of particular note is the hotel's distinguished waterfront spa and healing mineral pools with adjacent beaches perfect for year-round cold water plunging in the Salish Sea!

Episode 6: Be prepared then head for wellness ... Harrison Hot Springs
The Wellness Travel Show
08/31/20 • 20 min
How things have changed since we launched our site in late November 2019. Opening with podcasts describing a ‘natural high’ wellness getaway only 90 minutes outside of Vancouver, we would never have imagined the changes that lay ahead. In this episode, we welcome back Robert Reyerse, Executive Director of Tourism Harrison Hot Springs to share updates. Good news is, Harrison Hot Springs and its surrounding communities of Agassiz, Harrison Mills, and Kilby are as inviting as ever. The pandemic of COVID-19 has certainly changed the protocols of health and wellness when visiting, but it sure hasn’t taken away the wellness experience of a day or two spent revelling in such glorious surroundings. Hiking, biking, kayaking on Harrison Lake, forest bathing to dining on fresh and local bounty from farms dotting the area’s rich agricultural landscape. It’s been a good summer, yet the hope is it will continue into fall and winter. Because there’s nothing like walking the lakeshore on a brisk autumn day too. More at www.tourismharrison.com.

Episode 4:Year-Round, Just Breathe
The Wellness Travel Show
08/08/20 • 10 min
with Eric Towne, Sales & Marketing Director, Harrison Hot Springs Resort
For over 100 years, guests have been visiting Harrison Hot Springs Resort for the healing powers of its five hot mineral pools and the serenity of its natural and man-made gardens, for what generations of Lower Mainlanders – your parents and grandparents – might have called “rest and relaxation”.
Today, this resort and spa on the waterfront of Harrison Lake continues to pull in guests who want to recharge and unplug for a day or two, or more. It’s as simple as unwinding while enveloped in the warmth of the hot springs, letting your mind and body release built-up tensions, or engaging your mind and spirit in outdoor adventures such as golf, fishing, hiking and yes, even a little skiing should you feel inclined. It’s much easier to breathe deeply when you’re relaxed.
Eric Towne, Harrison Hot Springs Resort’s Sales & Marketing Director, shares his insights on why modern travellers continue to love this iconic BC resort and its wellness offerings.

Women & Wellness with Nutricuetical Expert, Dionne Walach
The Wellness Travel Show
05/04/23 • 32 min
Finally in the year, 2023, women’s reproductive health is no longer ‘in the closet’.
Kicking off the conversation around women, travel, and our sense of well-being, this week we talk about women’s health at all ages. From menstruation to menopause and how the myriad of symptoms are whispered over lunch, at happy hour over too much wine, yet rarely between a woman and her male spouse/partner. Plus, as the lack of public conversations has gone on for several decades now, it is time to address all of it.
Join me as I welcome Dionne Walach to help us understand what’s happening in the public realm of women’s reproductive health care. Dionne is a vocal women’s health advocate, with a strong background in joint health, specifically arthritis.
Being a feminist and happily married has opened her eyes as to how not just women, but men as well, are affected by women’s health issues. Some of Dionne’s observations include a more holistic, nutraceutical view of her own health care that delivers great results, and why she highly recommends women seek out female MDs to help us take care of your health.
For more information on the products Dionne and I discuss please visit

BC Lodging & Campgrounds Association

If COVID-19 and the pandemic of 2020 have done any good this year, it has introduced camping throughout British Columbia as one of the best cures for what ails us. This type of travel literally exploded in the summer of 2020, and in fact, the numbers are remaining steady in fall and winter. Camping engages all personalities and knows no age limit. Families, especially multi-gen, to couples, the guys and gals escaping for a few days away without significant others, solo travellers and simply good friends who know how to safely explore the spectacular outdoors, each enjoys this amazing way to explore the bounty of ‘beautiful BC”! In fact, RV camping is attracting snowbirds to British Columbia in dramatic numbers this winter as travel down south has been halted indefinitely. My colleague, Joss Penny, Executive Director with BC Lodging & Campgrounds Association tells us why this style of travel has gained such widespread appeal, showing no signs of slowing down in the near future.

An engaging conversation with a great lady I call the unofficial ambassador for Canada’s Yukon Territory! Deb Ryan of Air North, Yukon's airline, will have you spellbound, then daydreaming about places to discover in this great land and in fact, all across Canada. Territories to provinces, each holds nuggets of wonder that are unique with many a local’s best kept secret. The Yukon Territory is such a place. Deb and her husband, Joe, have spent over 40 years living here, raising their family while growing the territory's own air carrier. Pandemic update? Not only did Air North immediately create innovative health and safety protocols on the ground and inflight - their attendants wear flight jumpsuits specially created for the pandemic - they have maintained their authentic hospitality from check-in to take off!

Sleep, Like a Baby - With Wellness Coach Catherine Roscoe Barr
The Wellness Travel Show
09/15/23 • 20 min
My inbox has been filled lately with wellness press releases and newsletters featuring 'sleep.' It is one of the most widely craved comforts, yet it is often so unattainable to fall asleep and stay asleep.
My guest, the luminous Catherine Roscoe Barr of The Life Delicious, is quite an expert in rest, aka sleep. In this conversation, we discuss some easy and enjoyable recommendations to help us all find those elusive 'zs.' And yes, we laugh over the perils of functioning without sleep. Who hasn't been there?
One of Catherine's key takeaways is that starting new habits might be difficult initially, especially when travelling for work. Yet, if you think of the habits as inspired rituals, you will significantly benefit from the results.
I'm all in for a good night's rest, even if it means lights out by 9:30 p.m. seven nights a week! Sweet dreams.
