Located on one of the highest points in San Antonio, Texas, Loma de Vida Spa & Wellness is a stunning sanctuary surrounded by nature that helps create a true sense of balanced well-being through its spa service and unique wellness offerings.

Laura Krohn, Director of Wellness, Recreation & Retail for Loma de Vida Spa & Wellness at La Cantera Resort & Spa, has a profound understanding of wellness services and its potential impact on a community’s well-being. Through her research to expand the spa and wellness programming, she connected with Dr. Sara Oswalt, professor, and chair of the department of public health for the University of Texas at San Antonio, which led to a new wellness lecture series partnership.
