Beginning in her early 20’s, when the concept of luxurious healthy holidays was just burgeoning, Daisy’s personal quest for heart-healing aligned with her exploratory travels in this growing sector of the industry. From the world’s first destination retreat in Mexico (which was opened in 1940 by natural-living mentor Edmond Szekely; he spoke nine languages and met his wife in a river in Tahiti) to the star players of Asia and the fasting clinics of Europe, transformational travel has long been Daisy’s language.
“Describing the truth of the experience is ever my intent.”

“As Managing Director of Healing Holidays I have worked with Daisy Finer on all things SPA for nearly two decades. Her opinion has become gold standard in the industry. She not only delivers authentic, honest, sparkling coverage but invaluable and directive feedback too. She is not just about massages and marble. She offers an approach to wellbeing which includes genuine insights and inspiration born of her own life journey. She has her own writing style, reflective of her personal style, and she always delivers something which integrates the wider social and cultural scene. No one else hits these notes. Any property would be lucky to host her as she really gets behind the places she loves and on top of being highly professional she is a joy to work with.”
