at Monarch Beach to offer its guests
something they won't find at any other
resort. It has a decidedly Southern Cali-
fornia feel – perfect for visitors and lo-
cals alike who want to momentarily
escape the stresses of everyday life.
MacKenzie MacDonald, Assistant Di-
rector of Spa, Programming and Fitness
at the Miraval Life in Balance Spa, said
the program was developed by the re-
sort's mindfulness experts to enhance
guests' experience and allow them
to take advantage of all the
property has to offer.
"Our mission is to in-
spire and encourage self-
discovery and life balance
through the practice of being
mindful," MacDonald said. "We
are always looking for new audiences
to engage with. Our stunning golf
course is the perfect place to teach the
benefits of appreciating the present mo-
ment. It was a natural fit to expand Mi-
raval into this area."
Golfers who take Miraval Mindful
Caddies prepare for their round with
an intention setting and mindful focus
session that allows them to fully enjoy
the golf experience without outside dis-
traction and stress. The caddies then re-
join you on the course for a mindful
gratitude session that will connect you
to the incredible Pacific setting and en-
sure peak performance.
Those who register for Mindful Per-
formance Enhancement for Golfers will
work with mindfulness expert and
physical therapist Amy Noelle to set
goals and intentions for their game as
well as to deconstruct the mental barri-
ers we create that prevent us from
reaching our peak performance.
Since Mindful Golf debuted in Sep-
tember, guests who have tried the pro-
gram have come out of it wanting to
dig deeper into mindfulness and have
returned to the spa for longer sessions.
"The benefits of mindfulness on
physical and mental health and well-
ness are staggering," MacDonald ex-
plained. "We think it is important to
meet people where they are and intro-
duce them to mindfulness while they
are doing something they love so they
can follow their curiosity on the subject
and see how it can enhance their lives
overall."
