About
Not a booking platform.
A trusted filter.
World Wellness Guide exists because the wellness industry has a trust problem. Five-star ratings on places that deserve negative two. Miracle devices sold by people who''ve never used them. Beautiful Instagram pages hiding mediocre facilities. And booking platforms that treat every venue the same because their business model depends on volume, not quality.
We are the opposite of that. We are an editorially curated guide — city by city, venue by venue, written by named editors who have actually been there. If a place doesn’t meet our standard, we don’t feature it. We don’t sell bookings. We don’t take placement fees. We earn trust by being honest about what’s good, what’s overrated, and what’s missing.
Our framework is the Five Petals of Wellness: Ground, Ignite, Restore, Align, Refine — and at the center of it all, Connect. Because we believe the best wellness experiences are shared ones. Social wellness clubs, bathhouses, contrast therapy collectives, padel communities — these are the spaces where people heal faster, go further, and sustain more. Together.
The Editors
Tatiana Palmer
Editor
Tatiana covers alignment, holistic wellness, traditional bathing culture, spa design, and the cities where beauty and healing intersect: Bali, Paris, and Tokyo.
Her editorial lens draws from TCM principles, cycle syncing, and a deep belief that beauty is wellness — that how a space looks, smells, and feels is not superficial but fundamental. She values cultural authenticity over trends, and asks one question of every venue: does this place care for you, or does it just take your money?

Max Palmer
Editor
Max covers performance wellness, contrast therapy, padel communities, biohacking, and the cities where social sport meets recovery: London, Los Angeles, Dubai, and Las Vegas.
His editorial lens is direct, numbers-aware, and anti-pretension. He respects the science but knows the experience matters more than the data. He believes wellness shouldn’t require a velvet rope, that a $20 Korean spa delivers more genuine wellness than most $500 memberships, and that the fundamentals done well beat novelty every time.
Cities: London · Los Angeles · Dubai · Las Vegas
Bangkok and New York City are co-edited — because those cities demand both perspectives.
What We Are Not
- Not a booking platform. We don’t take commissions. Our recommendations aren’t for sale.
- Not a review aggregator. Every venue listing is written by our editorial team, not scraped from the internet.
- Not a wellness influencer. We don’t sell supplements, programs, or miracle cures. If it promises instant results, we’re suspicious.
- Not neutral. We have opinions. We think the $20 Korean spa beats the $500 membership. We think traditional bathing cultures got it right centuries ago. We think wellness shouldn’t require a velvet rope.
