Menopause Spa

The Spa by Equinox Hotels has teamed up with Stripes Beauty to offer spa treatments specifically for women going through menopause.

The 2.5-hour experience includes body-shaping therapy and a facial to promote hydration, renewal, and deep relaxation.

With menopause still significantly underserved, the treatment marks a step toward more inclusive, science-backed wellness treatments.

The Reading Room

Michelin-starred restaurant Luca has transformed its Clerkenwell bar into a screen-free morning café.

The space celebrates “slowness and consideration,” offering complimentary coffee and pastries alongside curated reading materials.

High-end social spaces are transforming into digital detox centers, positioning screen-free time as a new luxury.

IVF Insurance

Startup Future Family has launched an IVF insurance product that gives families their money back if treatment is unsuccessful.

Couples pay 20% insurance upfront, and are refunded if treatment doesn’t succeed after two rounds or if an early loss occurs.

With a single round of IVF costing up to $20,000, products that ease the financial risk will begin to close the gap between income and fertility.
