Passport to Wellness: Thompson Spa’s Jetset Celebration

Passport to Wellness: Thompson Spa’s Jetset Celebration

THE THOMPSON HOTEL spa turned National Wellness Month into a full-on runway moment. More than 300 guests gathered for an evening that fused travel, fashion and self-care into one stylish package.


The idea? Trade boarding passes for wellness stamps. Guests “traveled” through immersive experiences, each inspired by a different global destination and ritual, all while sipping cocktails, catching skyline views and watching Houston’s most fashionable take the runway.

Hosted by Gregory Palmer of Wareika Hill and Brooklynn Weatherill of LAZYI Eyewear, the vibe was high-energy and luxe — think good music, great style and a crowd fully leaning into the wellness-meets-fashion mashup. For the grand finale — the fashion show! — the lineup included Foreign Fare, Kailier, Versione, Hobbs London, Cotton Club Collection, LAZYI Eyewear, and even Ducati making its way down the runway.

“At Thompson Spa, we believe wellness is more than a routine, it’s a lifestyle,” Said Megan Fitzgerald, Director of Spa & Wellness at Thompson Houston. “The Passport Affair allowed us to connect our guests with local creatives and brands who share our passion for holistic well-being, while also tapping into the joy and healing that travel brings.”

Consider it a glamorous way to kick off Wellness Month — and a sign that Houston’s wellness scene just got a lot more global.

Consistent Focus on the Patient Is What Sets Montrose Med Spa Apart

Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa

WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.
