UBUNTU WELLNESS is launching its premier wellness initiative, incorporating the Ubuntu Wellness Card including an awareness, education and lifestyle campaign. Initiated by Cape Town-based health and wellness entrepreneur, Ian Macfarlane, a unique wellness lifestyle project concept has been well received, encouraging all Africans seeking to embark on and be supported in Ubuntu during their wellness journey.
“The concept is simple,” says Macfarlane, a founder-Director of SA’s leading integrative wellness provider Cape Town Medi-Spa, and a coach using the Wellness Inventory model to map personal wellness:
"We don’t really need expensive memberships to access the much needed support our stressful times are calling for. We are linking the world’s best online wellness assessment, monitoring and guidance technologies with a growing list of local wellness, spa, product and lifestyle providers offering significant discounts to key support services. This is being done affordably and we anticipate this will be a national program before Septemebr 2011.”
"We felt that a consumer-based loyalty or club card scheme that enables its users to create real measurable impact in their lives would be well-received. This is accomplished in part through the Wellness Inventory program, a US-based assessment tool that scores clients wellness scores in 12 dimensions of being, assists in creating and maintaining a personal wellness action plan, and allows reassessment after 6 months. “ The Inventory, designed by Dr. Travis in the 1970’s and represented in SA through Ubuntu Wellness, now commands great respect as a comprehensive wellness model, having just been awarded its top ranking by the Global Spa Summit 2010 this year.
There are three versions of the Ubuntu Wellness Club Card available currently, which is valid for a year to subscribers from SILVER at R99 per month, to GOLD at R250 which includes a deeply relaxing monthly hydrotherapy floatation session at the Medi-Spa to R450 for the BLUE CRYSTAL, which includes a monthly float and full body massage.
Other benefits include major discounts of between 10-50% within a growing wellness network of participating service providers which includes multi- disciplinary doctors, specialists, therapists, wholesalers, lifestyle and wellness products, restaurants and organic box schemes, trainings, events and workshops for example, a training workshop in Constellations Therapy with SA Constellations Institute founders and pioneers Helen & Claudio Celestino can be enjoyed at a whopping 50% off .
“Activating our diverse network to assemble an incredible value-chain of support for the booming wellness field is proving to be a rapid process,” says Ian,” and with service provider requests growing weekly, we anticipate this will become THE Wellness Club Card of the future in SA and are happy to offer this much needed boost and support to the public and organisations in SA during these stress-fuelled times.”
Amongst other selected products through the Card, Ubuntu Wellness Centre provides discounts on a case of empty 2.5 litre glass bottles, that they claim is perfect for water collection at one of the many pure springs in Cape Town. Understanding that clean, safe, potable and healthy structured water is key to ongoing wellness, it has also set up Ubuntu Water Foundation, a non-profit venture tasked with advocacy, access and on-going awareness for this precious life-giving substance.
Their passion for water is reflected on the back of the card, where a map to a local publicly accessible artesian spring in Newlands reminds cardholders to engage the free gifts of nature wherever possible. “This particular spring has drawn a large community of avid water wellness advocates, “ says Macfarlane. This continues with a compelling educational DVD called “Water: The Great Mystery” also available to Club Members at 50% discount from Ubuntu.
Fittingly, the Ubuntu Wellnes credit-card size loyalty card sports a unique water crystal that was formed by a novel process developed by Dr. Emoto, the Japanese Water researcher-the crystal being formed by vibrations of the written word ‘Ubuntu’. “An interesting visual technology and a fitting symbol for this effective collaboration of wellness providers,” says Ian.
As if this wasnt enough, the card also has a novel technology in it in the form of structured frequencies, having been specially treated in a Tri-Vortex sound chamber. “This allows the cardholder to create their own healthy and good tasting water (especially useful when pure spring water is not available)– simply by placing the card under a glass of filtered water for a few minutes” says Anton Ungerer, CEO of www.trivortex.co.za - “then you sit back, enjoy, and simply taste the difference. Tri-Vortex treatment is a process of bio-activation using sound technology which is totally safe.” The technology has been in South Africa for approx 9 years and is a major contributor to natural healthcare and wellbeing.
The Ubuntu Wellness Club Card is now available directly from Ubuntu Wellness Centre or via Zappon deals.
