The Joyful Art of Weight Loss
Art in Every Bite, Joy in Every Moment
What if weight loss didn’t start with restriction, but with mindfulness? Because real wellness starts with the first bite.
At Sparkling Hill, our new European-inspired weight management program helps you reconnect with your body through the simple, elegant act of chewing. No diets. No pills. No exercise. Just presence, purpose, and joyful nourishment. It’s a soul-centered approach grounded in science and tradition.
One of the most luxurious aspects of this retreat is the freedom it offers. Aside from our scheduled dining times, your time is entirely your own. We understand that committing to a week-long experience can be challenging, which is why we’ve designed it with flexibility in mind. Whether you’re working remotely or simply seeking stillness, Sparkling Hill offers the space to stay connected to your priorities while stepping away into restorative care.
If you’re seeking to rebalance your metabolism, improve your physical and mental vitality, or manage or lose weight more consciously, our program is designed to help you reach your personal wellness goals and sustain them well beyond your time with us. Because lasting change begins here but continues long after you leave.
Lifecycle
An elevated ritual that nurtures metabolic balance, encourages mindful weight loss, and supports holistic well-being.
Diets count calories. We count chews.
Why count your chews?
Science supports what ancient wisdom has known all along: the slower you eat, the faster your body finds balance. Chewing more helps activate satiety signals, reduce overeating, and ease digestive strain. At Sparkling Hill, our approach blends expert-led insight, spa nourishment, and serene luxury to help you cultivate a lifelong, weight-conscious relationship with food. Guests enjoy elegant, farm-to-table gourmet meals, complete with artful desserts and thoughtfully paired wines, proving that mindful eating and indulgence can beautifully coexist.
Who should join?
This elevated, body-honouring retreat is designed for those ready to step away from restrictive diets and into a more intuitive, empowering approach to nourishment. Whether you’re navigating the natural shifts of midlife, feeling stuck after years of fad diets, or simply seeking a more graceful path to wellness, this program meets you where you are.
Created especially for those who value health, longevity, and elegance in their wellness choices, our approach is as sustainable as it is soulful. No extremes. No calorie counting. Just mindful, purposeful practices inspired by European tradition and informed by modern science.
If you’re seeking a sustainable path to change in a serene, luxury setting—one that nourishes the body while calming the mind—this is your invitation.
What you'll learn
At Sparkling Hill, our weight loss retreat offers more than a shift in habits. It offers a deeper transformation in how you relate to food, your body, and your well-being. You’ll learn to eat with intention through mindful chewing, supporting natural portion control, and a more conscious approach to weight management. Guided sessions and BOD POD analysis help you gain insight into your metabolism, while curated programming explores emotional and habitual eating patterns. Each gourmet meal becomes a lesson in nourishment, showing that health and pleasure can coexist beautifully. What begins as a retreat becomes a foundation for continued vitality and well-being. This retreat is not about dieting; it’s about learning to listen, nourish, and live well. Real wellness begins with the first bite.
A note from our CEO & Founder
A vision from our President & CEO
The patriarch of the Crystal family SWAROVSKI, Mr. Gernot Langes Swarovski, and I brought together our shared vision to create one of Canada’s leading wellness and health destinations – Sparkling Hill Resort. It’s difficult to put into words the feeling this place evokes. You truly have to experience it to understand the balance of timeless elegance and modern design.
From day one, our focus has been on offering a space where well-being is a priority for both our guests and our team. Health, comfort, and care are at the core of everything we do.
Over the past 18 months, one of the programs I’ve felt most inspired by is something we’ve developed with great care and intention: “Joyful Wellness.”
Personally, I’ve never been drawn to typical weight loss programs. I’ve often found them rigid and unsustainable. But this one is different – and it changed my perspective entirely.
This is not a diet. It’s more of a reset. The intention is to support guests in reconnecting with how they eat, not by counting calories or restricting food, but by encouraging mindful, slower eating and smaller, more satisfying portions.
Through this process, guests may find that they naturally eat less, feel more in tune with their bodies, and begin to shift long-held habits. It’s a simple yet powerful change: one that focuses on behavior, not deprivation.
What I love most is that it doesn’t require giving up the joys of eating – no rigid meal plans, no gym requirements, no need to feel hungry. For many, including myself, it offers a way to enjoy food fully while feeling lighter and more present.
While every individual experience is unique, I believe this program can open the door to greater energy, self-trust, and renewed confidence. I’ve seen it begin to transform the way people think about health, not as something to chase, but something to live.
Warmly,
Hans-Peter Mayr
President & CEO
