to provide a balanced, personal experience, the size is limited

by Dr. Neil Treister, a board-certified cardiologist. They provide
the best, most up-to-date medical information about the heart and
cardiac testing. In addition to this comprehensive medical curriculum,
Salus presents the newest information from the growing body of proven
complementary approaches. The staff at Salus is uniquely sensitive
to participants’ specific interests and the small group size
of the Salus programs ensures an experience that meets individual
health and wellness needs.
In
addition to learning and understanding how to maintain optimal health
for your body, Salus participants also learn about healing their
minds. With signature spa treatments, relaxing yoga classes and
nature walks in the surrounding foothills of Rancho Bernadro, Salus
is truly a spa for the heart and the mind.

Can
a Salus program be integrated into a business meeting or retreat?
Yes, in most cases Salus Heart and Wellness programs can be integrated
into planned business meetings or corporate retreats. They can also
stand alone as well-being, organizational effectiveness or leadership
initiatives.
These
presentations and workshops can be as brief as one hour or as long
as several days. Companies and groups can choose from pre-defined
topics (see above) or create their own unique events. Working closely
