Terra & Tu Founder Wants to Shake Up Wellness Travel

Boulder, CO – August 15th, 2023 – For Finlay Bressler, Founder and President of Terra & Tu, the mission is simple but meaningful: Make Wellness Travel Better. With a background in psychology and years spent working in mental health and addiction services, Finlay saw the power and impact that mindful therapeutic modalities have on improving mental health. He also reflected on the deeply meaningful and healing experiences of his own travel and began to wonder about the connection between mindfulness and travel. What if there was a way to combine the benefits and healing properties of these two experiences to create something big?

He also noticed, however, that wellness travel is often based on restriction and sacrifice rather than balance and abundance. So, his mission was decided, and he founded Terra & Tu to showcase how making mindfulness the priority, and embracing the many and varied experiences that make us feel good, improves well-being.

Some of these experiences include yoga sessions, hikes, walks, visits to local communities to explore architecture and culture, culinary classes, wine tasting, and spa sessions. In addition, all travelers are provided with a journal and encouraged to reflect on the journey and respond to mindful prompts.

“We believe that travel provides an opportunity to care for our mental health and, as such, is a wellness experience in and of itself. Our mission is to increase access for the many people who want to take care of their wellbeing this way but may be intimidated by the more traditional style of wellness travel,” says Bressler. “Our trips promote an intimate understanding of the destinations we visit through the experiences we have, the food we eat, the wine we taste, and the people we meet. We encourage guests to pursue what feels good in mind and body and try to facilitate several different experiences that allow them to explore this. The magic of a Terra & Tu trip is in the balance of it all.”

Based on celebrating the culture of presence, Finlay has built Terra & Tu to showcase how, with a bit of mindfulness and reflection, travel is a wellness experience – and this is just the beginning.
