You try...
really hard but find it difficult to 'switch off' from work mode, often swapping vacation time for overtime and continuing to work on your time off.
You are...
are experiencing heightened work stress, brain fog and decision fatigue; you recognise that something needs to change. You desperately need a break but are unfamiliar with wellness travel and the ground-level travel planning required to design a fully restorative vacation.
You have...
already travelled extensively, but when you arrive home, when the suntan fades, something is missing. You don't feel restored. The stress, anxieties and burnout of day-to-day life build once more and you can't help but feel that there's more out there that you want.
You feel...
stuck after a negative life experience but you are ready to take a leap and invest in yourself. You want to feel confident and truly alive, not just stuck in your comfort zone. You want to say goodbye to self-limiting beliefs and see the world through fresh eyes.
There is far more to planning a vacation than booking an airline ticket to a destination with a beach.
Travel experiences can be life-changing when done with intention and purpose, see for yourself.

What Our Clients Are Saying
"I'm happy I took the leap of faith to venture out to Asia on my own, more so that I reached out for help planning the multi-country trip. I felt overwhelmed with planning but the discovery call, check-in and final travel plans were amazing. I felt positive and more confident to explore with your support. Thank you."
Dr Claire P.
“Shoutout to What The Doctor Recommends for organising such an amazing personalised solo trip and putting me in touch with the best guides. Everything from the stunning hotel to the crazy adventure sports & culture of Ubud, What The Doctor Recommends took what I wanted and curated the perfect mix of experiences to make sure this was one of the best holidays ever! ”
Dr Simi S.
"The best money I ever spent. Wasn’t too sure about the investment at first but I went for it. It changed my life. That sounds dramatic but it's the truth. The idea of being in South Africa alone seemed scary but the detailed itinerary flowed well so I knew what I was doing every day and felt safe with the pre-booked activities and vetted local guides."

FAQs
What is a travel coach?
Travel coaches focus on helping people find their "why" for travel and how to travel with intent. Travel coaches help to put the power back into the hands of the traveller through empowerment, mindset work, guidance, support, in-depth coaching, desired results, strategic planning, intuitive travel, education, and transformation. Every travel coach is different because, as with any traveller, we all have unique experiences, knowledge, skills, passions, interests, followers, and areas of expertise. For example, the clinical team at What The Doctor Recommends are dual-certified life coaches and travel coaches specialising in wellness travel coaching.
What are your travel coaching fees?
Coaching with our trained health and travel specialists is a quality-of-life-changing investment. Our team are highly experienced, coach powerfully, and charge accordingly.
We generally connect with coaching clients (Prescribed Wellness Travel™️) via B2B or professional referrals, however, we are happy to accommodate private clients depending on capacity. Please ensure you have read every page of the website at least once before you book, and when you are clear that you are ready to invest in creating balance and beating burnout, please get in touch!
Do you coach anyone and everyone?
The quality of any working relationship is vital. If you recognise yourself in the qualities below, it is highly likely we are an excellent match.
-
You like having real, honest, insightful, direct conversations
-
You're not scared of being questioned or challenged
-
You’re proactive, hard working, ambitious and committed
-
You are emotionally intelligent and invest in people and relationships
-
You are naturally reflective, enjoy learning and are open to new ideas
-
You recognise the immense value of having objective, supportive, fair and dedicated people in your corner
Is a recovery from work stress / burnout guaranteed?
After each trip, the aim is to keep creating healthy work-life boundaries and building a more fulfilling life by taking time to reflect, learn, enjoy, connect with others, and reconnect with who you are.
In our experience, people return happiest when they travel with specific goals and motivations in mind. They often gain a greater sense of confidence and purpose. With a travel coach’s help, they can learn to apply those lessons to their daily life, whether it’s a career change or a complete reimagining of their current lifestyle.
It is then up to you to continue maintaining and investing in your personal growth
Why do you recommend solo/ independent travel?
We recognise that solo travel may be out of your comfort zone but we strongly advocate for clients joining the Prescribed Wellness Travel™️ program to use their time with us to focus solely on their own goals and recovery.
By travelling independently, you develop the ability to find ways to solve problems and overcome obstacles on your own. Resourcefulness involves thinking outside the box and finding solutions that may not be conventional.
As you grow confident in your ability to take action and make decisions on your own, you can be assured that the resulting sense of empowerment will contribute to your long-lasting well-being at home, and in the workplace.
Do you accept international clients?
Yes, we welcome international clients and are dedicated to ensuring that you get the most out of your travels and life coaching sessions, no matter where in the world you are located.
We'd love to hear from you! For all client, business and press enquires, please get in touch:
