You’re likely familiar with Privé-Swiss, a luxurious health and wellness destination located in Ivoryton, Essex, and Madison. They offer a lineup of Pilates, Barre, Barefoot Bands (LOVE that class), and more fitness classes, plus medical aesthetics, medically assisted weight loss, and body treatments of all kinds. 

What you may NOT know is that the owner, Heidi Kunzli, started a residential mental health program 25 years ago. She has been helping numerous high-profile individuals get back on track. If you spot a celebrity around town, there’s a good chance they’re visiting Privé-Swiss! Her proven success, coupled with positive word of mouth, has contributed to the ongoing strength of the clinical side of her business.

For the first time, Privé-Swiss is offering an outpatient program designed for locals who want access to her team of professionals including doctors, PhDs, and experts, to help alleviate stress-related anxiety. I’ve struggled with anxiety most of my life; I manage it with some healthy activities like yoga, my peloton, ice skating, and some not-so-healthy choices like wine! I’m signing up for this four-day immersion to learn better ways to cope with stress, and I hope you’ll join me. You can join the program for one, two, three, or all four days, with each day featuring unique programming designed to stand alone or build upon previous sessions.

Through modalities like Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acupuncture, Nutrition, Self Hypnosis, and more, we’ll learn how to cultivate a balanced and resilient mindset. Also included are yoga, pilates, fitness classes, optional body treatments, and three gourmet meals each day. 

Here’s what Heidi has to say about the program:

“The small, private Privé-Swiss Mental Health Retreat program has been assisting clients in achieving optimum wellness for almost 25 years now — it is time to do more! Privé-Swiss is now making our incredible team of clinical and holistic professionals available to those struggling with anxiety and extreme stress who do not require an inpatient program but need more than just a “spa” or “retreat” getaway. We offer a chance to come to our luxury wellness center to participate in a structured mental wellness experience like none other. Designed with the knowledge and success of our long-running private retreat and presented by the same team of professionals — you can expect a transformative experience with results that will last far beyond this weekend experience!”

One, two, three, or four-day options are available so you can choose a schedule that works for you!
