SpaFinder Launches UK Wellness Week(TM)

Exclusive Wellness Information and Great Deals on Spa Treatments at https://www.spafinder.co.uk

LONDON, March 3, 2011 - SpaFinder, the world's largest spa and wellness resource and gifting
company, is launching its first ever UK Wellness Week(TM), to be held on the
21-27th March.

With ill health costing employers GBP100 billion in lost employee days
every year[i] in the UK, SpaFinder's Wellness Week(TM) is designed to
encourage people to take steps toward a happier and healthier lifestyle.

SpaFinder will be hosting a dedicated Wellness Week(TM) section on their
website at www.spafinder.co.uk/ukwellnessweek with information on all
sorts of wellness topics - including fitness, nutrition, sleep, depression,
meditation and much more. The site will also feature guest bloggers over the
course of the week, including yoga instructors, spa directors and
nutritionists.

To make sure everyone can make the most of Wellness Week(TM), SpaFinder
will also be offering consumers fantastic savings on spa and wellness
treatments. This will include special deals from partner spas, and flash 'Spa
Sales' on SpaFinder gift vouchers, which can be redeemed at over 400 spas
across the UK.

In addition, SpaFinder has teamed up with newly-opened spa Lifehouse in
Essex to give away a two night stay to one lucky winner.

SpaFinder are encouraging consumers to get involved with Wellness
Week(TM) by taking a 'Wellness Week Pledge' - pledging to do one thing during
Wellness Week(TM) that will improve their health and wellbeing - for the week
and in the long term. It could be anything from taking the stairs in the
office instead of the lift, cutting down on the chocolate, trying yoga for
the first time or walking instead of getting in the car.

Cassandra Cavanah, Executive Director for SpaFinder Europe, said: "With
David Cameron announcing his Wellbeing Index last year[ii], and this year
already proving stressful for many people, we are encouraging people to make
a commitment to a healthier, and ultimately happier, lifestyle.

"The health benefits of spa-ing are becoming more and more apparent -
just last year a study found that a massage increased white blood cell counts
and hormones that are linked to good health[iii]. Our spa sale will help make
a trip to the spa a little bit more affordable so why not try a massage,
thermal bathing experience or something completely new to you, like an
alternative therapy such as reiki or reflexology?" Cassandra added.
