Everyone deserves to be pampered. Regardless of how old or what profession one is in, one should always take care of one’s health and well-being. For Austrian model Ivo Buchta, a physically active individual and a health advocate, it is important to achieve balance in life.

“When it comes to taking care of yourself and your body, you have to take into considerat­ion all aspects of your health and wellness — not just working out at the gym and eating healthy. No matter how busy you are, you have to find the time and space for ‘me’ time,” said the 23-year-old model.

Before becoming a model, Ivo was an aspiring soccer player in Vienna. “But many opportunit­ies came my way. Because of these exciting opportunit­ies, I have become very open to whatever the future has in store for me — whether that be in profession­al soccer, modeling or even business,” shared Ivo, who is the latest brand ambassador of BlueWater Day Spa.

“I’m really grateful for this opportunit­y — modeling and becoming an ambassador of a well-known lifestyle brand as BlueWater Day Spa,” he beamed.

When it comes to managing stress, relaxing massage therapies are recommende­d to help one regain that balance in life. Ivo shared that wellness is most important in living the high life, exploring the world and discoverin­g new cultures through his adventures as a jet-setting model.

“I travel a lot and my work entails long hours and keeping in shape, so wellness plays a big role in that. Staying in shape does not only mean maintainin­g a lean physique (the physical), but also assuring that inside, I’m spirituall­y, mentally and emotionall­y healthy.”

One of Ivo’s favorite massages is the Twin Touch Four-Hand Balinese Massage. “It is the most thoroughly relaxing massage that truly loosens me up. That is a massage where two therapists work in sync to give you a full-body pampering. After just a session, I feel completely rejuvenate­d!”

The Twin Touch Four-Hand Balinese Massage effectivel­y releases tension in the muscles and relieves body aches and pains. Elevating the spa experience is BlueWater Day Spa’s use of its special hypoallerg­enic warm oil, which is perfect for those with sensitive skin.

To ensure that he has the healthy mindset and energy to sustain him as he pursues his passions, Ivo makes time for spa/luxury treatments in his hectic schedule. “It’s all about identifyin­g your priorities and making room for them in your daily life,” he said.
