About Daraknot Health

Dr. Gluss, what is your background as a Clinical Psychologist, and how did it inspire you to create the Santa Fe Wellness Experience?

• In my career as a licensed clinical psychologist I’ve worked with people in my private practice for addiction recovery, obesity, anxiety, as clinical director in rehab centers, as well as a radio and TV talk show host interviewing people who are struggling, so I’ve had the privilege to work with a lot of different people in a lot of different situations. 

• I found myself going beyond psychotherapy with people for an hour a week in my office, and actually stepping out of that box to more deeply help people transform their lives.

• So as I realized how much of an impact I could have with patients outside of the office I founded Daraknot Health to help people create Personal and Professional Wellness through individualized concierge programs.

• The Wellness Program I am most excited about is our latest: the New Santa Fe Wellness Experience.

  • We incorporate all that makes Santa Fe and New Mexico wonderful

    • Indigenous teachings and culture

    • History

    • Art

    • Landscape

  If Daraknot Health needs to cancel the event due to unforeseen events beyond our control, we’ll promptly inform you and refund the full event cost.

• Cancellation insurance:
  We strongly advise participants to get travel, medical, and cancellation insurance to protect against unexpected situations that might lead to trip changes or cancellations. This insurance should cover potential losses due to medical emergencies, travel disruptions, or personal issues. Daraknot Health does not endorse specific insurance providers, so it is your responsibility to choose coverage that includes trip cancellation and interruption protection. We recommend thoroughly understanding your insurance provider’s terms and claims process.

• Booking modifications:
  While we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise, please note that our booking policy is for the first deposit to be nonrefundable once confirmed and paid. No refunds or credits will be issued for changes.

• Transferability:
  In some cases, we may allow clients to transfer their deposits to one of our other individual programs or events. To maintain the quality of the retreats and ensure meaningful interactions, usually such replacements share similar interests and familiarity with the booked retreat. Final approval for any transfer remains at our discretion to create a cohesive and enriching environment for all participants.

• Covid-19 measures:
  Since the measures regarding the SARS-Cov-2 pandemic are constantly changing, we make sure to regularly update our safety guidelines. In case of a Covid-19 travel ban or any other ban that relates to any other pandemic, the total amount paid by guests will be refunded. We make sure to respect Social Distancing guidelines and the use of a protective mask where deemed obligatory.
