Founder's Story...
"I was burnout and merely existing -"
Standing at the base of Mt Batur on my penultimate day in Bali, with the early morning sunlight dancing across my upturned face, I finally felt it. Peace, contentment and connection. Connection to the breathtaking landscape towering above me, to the locals sleepily setting up their market wares for the day and most significantly, to myself. With that sudden clarity I realized that somewhere along the line, I had fallen out of alignment with my mind, body and soul's purpose. Burdened with the pressures of achieving career milestones and trying to meet everyone else's expectations of me, I was burnout and merely existing.
That was in 2017.
Looking back, the trip catalysed positive transformation in many areas of my life. As I began to research the multitude of mental, physical, spiritual and scientific benefits that travel provides when we slow down and holistically explore our inner selves as we explore the world, the foundations of What The Doctor Recommends were laid.
If you're ready to explore with purpose and tap into the transformational power of wellness travel, let's get started.

“Travel is more than the seeing of sights; it is a change that goes on, deep and permanent, in the ideas of the living.” — Miriam Beard
Emerging scientific literature and numerous studies confirm the positive impact of travelling to new and unfamiliar destinations on mental, emotional, spiritual and physical well-being.
Incredibly, the benefits of wellness travel are not limited to the individual. Organisations offering employee benefits that actively promote healthy work-life balance alongside flexible working policies that encourage hard-working employees to utilise their allocated annual leave, create positive work cultures that enhance productivity, foster innovation and boost creativity, collaboration and thought diversity among their staff, leading to reduced staff turnover costs and increased company profits.

Our Philosophy And Approach
What The Doctor Recommends is the UK's first doctor-led corporate wellness and wellness travel consultancy, recently described in the Evening Standard as one of the "Top Doctor-Led Health Techs Saving The NHS".
We believe your precious holiday time should be more than just a temporary escape from the stresses of daily life.
By analysing your health and wellness needs and prescribing personalised solo wellness escapes that enable you to focus on achieving wellbeing goals, we aim to empower high-achieving clients, like you, to prioritise rest, detox from technology and achieve a more balanced state.
In addition, with our integrated stress management life coaching programs, we will work with you to develop the comprehensive stress management strategies and mental fitness tools you desperately need to manage work stress effectively and disrupt neverending cycles of overwhelm and burnout.
The core of the Prescribed Wellness Travel™️ program is to assist you in creating a new pattern for yourself that supports and sustains an ongoing transformation after your trip. Once this model is in place, you will feel confident and capable of dismantling self-imposed limitations holding you back from creating the lifestyle you crave and deserve. You will move forward with the belief that ANYTHING is possible.
Think of wellness travel as a spark plug, a catalyst that can trigger ripples of change across many areas of your life, as you journey inwards while exploring the world around you.
And the match needed to ignite said change?
You.

“I needed to get away for clarity and a sense of direction in my life. Everything was getting on top of me; my job, a complicated relationship, family life. I was probably on the way to completely burning out or a nervous breakdown before the prescribed wellness holiday to Italy. Dr Noreen, I cannot recommend you enough.”
Meeting with Dr. Nguru was the best thing I've ever done for myself. Her coaching style is firm but very supportive. She gave me lots of anxiety self-management tools and mindfulness exercises to try for the plane ride and since our meeting I have felt more in control of my thoughts and emotions than ever before.
