Testimonial
What they say about us.
We take pride in our commitment to transforming lives and creating meaningful connections. Here are some words from those who have benefited from our services:
I love Tanya’s holistic approach to Mind, Body and Spirit and the powerful combination of relaxing treatments, daily motivational talks, delicious food, exercise and accommodation in one of the most tranquil places I know made this excellent value for money.
Tanya you are a very special lady. My time spent with you had such an impact on me that my family think the “old” me who set off for Tring a couple of weeks ago has been kidnapped and they much prefer this more gentle, kinder person who has returned in her place!
Having known Tanya for many years, my expectation that her daily workshops would be the most valuable part of the course was fully borne out, but I also thoroughly enjoyed the food, treatments, yoga classes and introduction to the Five Elements, a derivative of Tai Chi.
To celebrate my partner’s 30th birthday we booked on Tanya’s ‘Attitude is All’ Champneys Retreat. Our aim was to start the new decade with a renewed sense of energy, drive and a positive mind-set and we got all of that and more! Tanya is a very inspiring woman who lives life to the fullest; she truly listens, inspires and spreads nothing but love. We came away with clear goals for our future in the knowledge that it's never too late to start something new and we will both always think back to Tanya's wise words when in moments of doubt or stress. Highly recommend for anyone looking to invest in themselves and gain a positive outlook on life.
I thoroughly enjoyed Tanya’s Retreat; not only did she and the Champneys team deal with your physical wellbeing, but also your emotional wellbeing. Tanya’s warm, positive and approachable manner instantly put me at ease and I would highly recommend her retreats.
I was 51 when I enrolled for the Retreat, comfortable with my age and appearance, but lacked energy and indecisive about my life; I intuitively felt Tanya would recharge me. The workshops were like a daily intake of vitamins for mind, body and spirit. Best of the best was the morning Five Elements ritual, which is now my new mantra and has become my favourite wellness routine. It's a very powerful healing system; energizing and harmonising as well as giving a feeling of protection and strength. It's now 6 months after the programme and I still feel healthier, plus more positive and optimistic. I trust you unconditionally, so if ever you start new programmes please let me know and I will participate.
Thank you SO much for a great few days, my lifestyle has already changed: I start my day with the 5-Elements ritual and give myself a hug at the end which makes me laugh and sets me up positively for the day. I am regularly walking in the nature, have, enrolled in Tai Chi classes and aqua aerobics and investigating my big walk for 2019. I have been so busy planning and implementing all my actions from your final workshop, ‘The What, When and How’. Once again thank you so much, I feel like I learnt such a lot in such a short time and seem to have a permanent smile on my face 😊. Warm wishes
To Dear Tanya, You are a force of nature, an authentically inspirational woman in her prime. I cannot overstate how much I have benefited from the last couple of days at Champneys. Your balance of coaching and mentoring was so spot on, stimulating thinking with lots of examples and always empowering. The content of the sessions was thought provoking and engaging. The way that you brought your own experiences into the sessions served to underline how you role model the guidance that you share and this was immensely inspiring. I’ve come away with a plan that covers my work, my relationships and my home. Importantly it’s one that energises me, and that I’m more excited about than any plan I have ever created (and with 40 plus career years behind me I’ve created a fair few). You have helped me to tap into my thoughts and feelings, more holistically than I’ve done to date. And you’ve introduced me to some rituals that will help me to sustain what I’ve learned. Last but not least, you have entertained us with such a wealth of stories – I’m still smiling and chuckling!
Press Coverage
Media Features
Explore what the media has to say about Wheway Lifestyle International and our transformative services. Here are snippets from articles that capture the essence of our commitment to well-being and personal development
“Tanya explores what we think, feel, say and do and how we can get in the driving seat of our life rather than just being a passenger. If wellbeing of mind, body and soul is what you seek in a mise en scene of tranquillity, and you really want the best out of life, head for Tring and Champneys. …. A perfect place to relax, reflect, recharge, slow down the ageing process and focus on what you really want in the next great stage of your life, leaving Champneys with an effective game-plan on how you are going to achieve this.”
"There is a wide range of classes and activities each day, from dance to stretch to yoga to art, but you can do as much or as little as you like - there is plenty of time to reflect on your life in a positive way in a nurturing setting. There is also time to stop and stare. The talks help you challenge yourself and boost your confidence - to make shifts in your life and get what you need from it, from your relationships and from your work. The great thing about this programme is that it refreshes all those parts that others have failed to reach."
Midlife Crisis Bootcamp - an article by Anthea Gerrie on their experience of a 'Fab@50+' Retreat held at Champneys Tring
Fed up at fifty, sluggish at sixty or even frightened by forty? A no-holds barred mid-life makeover could be a life-changer. Tanya Wheway is the woman who makes it happen.
“In her trademark hat, sharp linen suit and with lips glossed to perfection, Tanya Wheway is a pretty good advert for what she does. She doesn’t walk, she glides, she stands tall, has a talent for listening and gives good eye contact. She is sussed but unthreatening. A few minutes in her company and you think, yes, I’ll have some of what she’s on.
As spa consultant Tanya, now 68, has pioneered some of the most famous spas in the world, bringing the very concept of wellness treatments and pampering to this country.
Yes, you have Tanya to thank for ‘me time’. She and her late husband Allan brought their brand of Spa luxe to the world with the likes of Champneys and Sanctuary in London’s Covent Garden as well as spas across the world that became a template for the growth in the industry.”
