ABOUT SHANNA’S SECRET WELLNESS
Your Private Gateway to French Thermal Wellness
Legacy
Shanna's Secret Wellness provides English-speaking travelers with private access to France's physician-supervised thermal wellness tradition through thoughtfully coordinated stays in Vichy.
Inspired by a healthcare model practiced for generations, each journey combines naturally mineral-rich thermal waters, medical supervision, and personalized wellness programs within one of France's most celebrated thermal destinations.
We coordinate every detail—from planning and travel to accommodations, physician appointments, and local guidance—so your experience feels effortless from arrival to return.
OUR STORY
Born from a French Tradition of Living Well
I grew up in France,where visiting thermal towns has long been part of everyday life. Wellness was never viewed as an occasional escape—it was a long-standing tradition centered around naturally mineral-rich thermal waters, movement, and physician-supervised care.
My introduction to this tradition came through my mother, who traveled regularly to French thermal destinations as part of her own wellness routine. Watching this tradition firsthand shaped my understanding that caring for one's health can be both structured and deeply rooted in everyday life.
After moving to the United States, I realized how little known this uniquely French approach remained outside France. At the same time, I saw growing interest in preventive wellness, longevity, and more intentional ways of caring for long-term health. That realization inspired the creation of Shanna's Secret Wellness.
Today my role is to help English-speaking travelers discover this remarkable tradition — privately coordinating every part of the journey, with clarity, discretion, and care.
A French approach to well-being
Structured around thermal water and daily care
In France, thermal wellness has traditionally been built around physician-supervised programs rather than occasional spa visits.
Guests follow an individualized daily rhythm that may include hydrotherapy, naturally mineral-rich thermal waters, aquatic exercise, therapeutic applications, balanced cuisine, periods of rest, and physician-supervised care.
For generations, destinations such as Vichy have embodied this approach, making thermal wellness an enduring part of French culture—not simply a passing wellness trend.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
A Tradition I'm Proud To Share
Bonjour, I’m Tanya, founder of Shanna’s Secret Wellness.
From the beginning, my vision extended far beyond creating another travel experience. My goal was to introduce Americans—while welcoming English-speaking travelers from around the world—to a French wellness tradition that has quietly helped generations prioritize mobility, balance, and long-term well-being.
Having grown up in France, I always viewed thermal wellness as a natural part of everyday life. My mother, Françoise, returned to a cure thermale each year, and I grew up seeing this physician-supervised tradition as a normal part of maintaining long-term health. It was only after moving to the United States that I realized how little known this approach remained outside Europe.
Today, every journey is personally coordinated with care and discretion, allowing each guest to discover France with confidence, clarity, and the reassurance that every detail has been thoughtfully arranged.
