Terres d'Afrique: one man’s belief in the healing power of botanicals
BY Lauren Heath-Jones
Created by Dr Stephan Helary, Terres d’Afrique is the result of one man’s belief in the healing powers of African botanicals.
In search of answers to age-old questions about youth, wellness, vitality and ancient traditional knowledge, Dr Helary embarked on a journey to connect with African women who have passed this knowledge on for generations.
Imagine leaving your daily bustle behind for one precious moment to soak up the magnitude of an African sunrise – to wander freely in the African bush, crushing indigenous plants in your hand and absorbing the calming aromas.
Terres d’Afrique, a global African plant-based range will take you on a mystical journey through Africa.
Beyond its extensive range of skincare products, the brand is also focused on its enviable range of bespoke treatments, offered at leading hotels and spas across the globe.
Its clients include amongst many others the Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts in Johannesburg, Mauritius, Dubai and soon Serengeti and Seychelles as well as Six Senses Zil Pasyon, for whom Terres d’Afrique has created unique and exclusive rituals with meticulous attention to detail.
“Terres d’Afrique treatments tell a story and create multiple layers of sensations. We strive to create unique luxury experiences inspired by diverse cultures and environments that have not yet been explored in the wellness industry. Our aim is to help people reconnect with themselves and nature through ancient knowledge of African plants,” said Dr Helary.
“It’s about creating enriching treatment experiences that capture the imagination of discerning travelers and encourage them to explore wellness beyond the limits they are familiar with. We have expanded the experience by including sound and taste for a full sensory experience”
Terres d’Afrique respects the intellectual property of the African women who work with the brand to create unique healing formulations and makes it possible for these women to earn an income from their traditional knowledge.
It is this powerful balance between luxury and sustainability that sets Terres d’Afrique apart and lures the brand’s fast growing following back for more.
