Tucked away in the iconic Franschhoek Valley overlooking vineyards, olive plantations, sweeping mountain views and a sculpture garden, the Terre Paisable medical spa specialises in advanced aesthetics, diagnostic-led wellness and cellular rejuvenation.
In keeping with the estate’s name, ‘peaceful land’, and the ethos of cultivating beauty through nature, the spa is the-go-to destination for extending your health-span, a first of its kind in South Africa. The approach is to reset your body at a cellular level.
Practitioners follow the principles of functional medicine and biohacking to optimise and enhance the body’s ability to function at peak performance. In a nutshell, biohacking is the practice of using science, biology, technology, and personalised precision supplementation to optimise physical and mental performance, health, and longevity.
At Terre Paisable, targeted treatments include the non-invasive, FDA-approved Emerald Laser, Hormone Balancing, Genetic Analysis, Metabolic-Rejuvenation and Gut Biome optimisation to promote your journey to your optimal self.
In collaboration with UK-based Functional Medicine practitioner Tania Malan (founder of the Raw to Roar movement and expert in treating the effects of Menopause) and internationally renowned laboratories, Terre Paisable’s nurse practitioner, Lauren McMillan, accompanies you on this journey to unlock your body’s biological fingerprint, providing scientific analysis of your genetic predisposition and current hormone, and metabolic status.
‘It does not matter to me how old you will become, it matters to me how long I can help you stay healthy,’ McMillan says. ‘This is not a one shot heals all situations, rather a journey of discovery, to discover the root cause of any issues. It is also a journey to empowerment (precise personalised reporting after individual interpretation) of each client to approach this journey well and have physical optimisation as their outcome.’
Tests used to determine individual biological make-up include DUTCH, DNA CORE, DNA SKIN and GUT Health Analysis among others. With this cellular-level knowledge, a highly individualised plan specifically designed for your unique needs to rebalance your body is provided. These may include targeted Hormone Replacement Therapy, IV infusions and supplements, providing you with the route to longevity, as well as vitality.
‘Unlike traditional spas that focus only on relaxation, or aesthetic clinics that focus only on cosmetic results, our approach considers how you feel, function and age as a whole,’ says McMillan.
