A Philosophy of Balance
BY ALEXANDER MENRISKY
“Blackberry Farm’s approach to spa
and wellness is rooted in a philosophy
of balance,” says Wellness Director
Amanda Anderson. “Our goal is to help
guests relax and renew, while also nurturing sustainable habits for a healthy
lifestyle after their stay is over.”
The Wellhouse took about 16 months
to build under the leadership and direction of Kreis Beall, founder and director of
design at Blackberry Farm. “We used a
Knoxville architecture firm and contractor
and then utilized the Blackberry Farms
design team for all interior design and
installation,” Anderson says.
Farm-Grown Wellness
Many of The Wellhouse’s spa treatments
synchronize with the natural cycles of
the farm itself, coupled with the
advanced science and technology of the
spa industry.
