Corinthia Hotel London announced the appointment of international wellbeing expert Renée Blanchardt ND, BSc, Adv. Dip HSc, DRMTH as the new Wellness Manager & Naturopath at ESPA Life at Corinthia London. With 20 years’ experience in Europe, Asia, and Australia, this new role will see Renée overseeing the wellness programs and therapists at ESPA Life at Corinthia London, as the hotel and spa continue to transform the concept of well-being in London.
Renée will be responsible for tailoring each wellness program according to the needs and desired outcome of the individual clients at ESPA Life, as well as managing the teams of doctors and alternative medical practitioners and continuing to fulfill her role as a Naturopath. She will work on implementing her philosophy that “the latest scientific research should be combined with the ancient traditional healing arts to provide concerted preventative wellness programs. By analyzing patients’ dietary and lifestyle choices, we can craft bespoke treatments to enhance their wellbeing and health, through restoring balance between the body and nature.”
Moving from Thailand to her new address at Whitehall Place, Renée Blanchardt joins Corinthia London following a successful career spanning 20 years’ experience on three continents, working with clients including Members of Parliament, Royalty, and the renowned Spanish Riding School. Renée is a well-respected public speaker and has been featured in the media internationally, including Luxurious Magazine, Grazia Daily and Australian body+soul.
Renée has experience working with a myriad of ailments and intolerances, including adrenal fatigue, thyroid conditions, and gastrointestinal disorders, and she successfully leads individuals and groups in cellular detoxification, stress management and weight management programs.
As a Naturopath, Renée primarily focuses on nutrients and the body’s varying ability to assimilate them. In combination with functional medicine investigations of the body’s relevant biological functions, as well as diet and lifestyle, Renée can then shape individualized and focused support. Her prescriptive advice ranges from food choices and combinations, to massage and hydrotherapy, to exercise and mindfulness techniques, to supplements and homeopathic preparations.
Renée, an English-Australian dual citizen, graduated with a double science degree from the Australian College of Natural Medicine, as a Classical Homeopath and Naturopath. After her graduation, Renée started her career in the UK as a clinic supervisor in naturopathic nutrition and has since consulted internationally in countries including Germany, India, Cambodia, Indonesia, Australia, and Thailand. She is also a 500-hour registered Yoga Instructor (Rishikesh, India).
Longevity and wellness are Renée’s passions both in and out of work, and she enjoys regularly detoxing, applying food as medicine, and partaking in Yoga, swimming, skiing, travel, and culture.
“After being based in Thailand, joining Corinthia London is the perfect step for me. My focus on preventative dietary and lifestyle changes, and my strong belief that nature provides us all that we require, in abundance, to maintain and restore wellbeing, blends seamlessly with the guiding philosophy at ESPA Life. As a naturopath, I believe strongly in the importance of a balanced diet made up of seasonal whole foods, which is crucial to restoring harmony, good health and balance between ourselves and our environment,” said Renée.
Welcoming her appointment, Nichola Roche, SPA Director at Corinthia London, said “We are thrilled that Renée is joining our team at ESPA Life at Corinthia London. This is a truly exciting time for us as we continue to set the benchmark for medical spa’s and integrative wellness within a luxury five-star environment, further enhanced by our recent partnership with the Austrian-based VIVA Mayr clinic. Renée’s extensive naturopathic insights, qualifications and experience will prove to make her an invaluable addition to our team.”
