Gordon is CEO of employee wellness programme Total Brain, which is used in wellness programmes for employees and recovery programmes at addiction clinics in the US. Gordon has published 300 scientific papers and recently authored a book called The brain revolution: know and train new brain habits.
With a starting price of US$3,185, the retreat can be enhanced for an additional fee with destination excursions, wellness services and visits to the performance lab – for assessment, coaching and training sessions.
Guests can also upgrade with a visit to Canyon Ranch Spa which has five treatment rooms and features a steamroom, sauna, saline pool and whirlpool, all of which are available 24 hours a day.
Formerly The Stillheart Institute, Canyon Ranch Wellness Retreat – Woodside has been reimagined and refurbished by interior design firm Cole Martinez Curtis and Associates.
The destination is inspired by the surrounding landscape and designed to foster connectivity with the outdoors and lead to a deeper sense of place. The property features 14 bedrooms in the main lodge and 24 bedrooms in standalone luxury treehouses, which are elevated on stilts and immersed amongst the forest.
