“This wellness hub has long been the island’s preferred destination for massages, yoga, and all things functional medicine. This summer, however, Lavender Farm launches its own iOS app, which founder Brandon Jellison nicknames “the OpenTable of wellness.” Anyone on island can use it to book on-demand wellness services — private yoga lessons, massages, reiki treatments, health food chefs, and so forth — to be enjoyed either at Lavender Farm’s premises in Town, from the comfort of their own hotel room or summer rental, or even directly to the beach.”

“Why trek across island to go to a spa when you can have the spa come to you? Just in time for summer, the beloved Nantucket holistic healing center Lavender Farm Wellness has released an eponymous app that founder Brandon Jellison calls the OpenTable of well- ness. Massage therapists, private yoga instructors, reflexologists, and even Ayurvedic chefs can be booked through the app for one-on-one sessions from the comfort of your own home or rental, from the provider’s studio, or from Lav- ender Farm HQ. “It’s a way for people to truly DIY their own wellness retreat,” Jellison says. lavender-farm.com. —T.

“Despite the fact that the majority of businesses on Nantucket shutter in the winter, there’s one picture-perfect place solitude-seekers can check in anytime. A former sea captain’s house turned 20-key boutique hotel, Greydon House sits right in the heart of town. In addition to overnights in antique-studded rooms and hearty meals in the Venetian-inspired restaurant, the property offers well-being retreats in partnership with Lavender Farm Wellness and long-stay packages during the slow season. The abandoned energy of the island might inspire you to write the next great American novel — or, at least, tick a few books off the ol’ reading list.”
