The Best Wellness, Spa and Health Spots in Dallas

Inhale. Exhale. Repeat. Facing global unrest, everyday distractions and the hustle and bustle of life, one thing is clear —Dallas residents are in urgent need of a little TLC.

The quest for balance, self-care and optimal health and wellness is on the rise, resulting in a burst of new fitness studios, holistic offerings, metaphysical stores and spiritual spas across North Texas.

“There’s so much uncertainty in this world right now and that is the worst thing for human beings,” licensed psychologist Jenny Jones said on a Zoom webinar discussing isolation and its effects on mental health. “It does debilitating things to us. It leads to depression, and it leads to more loneliness.”

According to a study by Green Wall, Texas is one of the 10 worst states for overall well-being, and that includes factors related to health, happiness and prosperity. So if you’re feeling on the edge, or in need of rest or restoration, we’ve found several wellness facilities, businesses, programs and services for you to tap into for balance, with a special touch of normalcy. So breathe deep and soak it in. Your mind and body will thank us later.
