Pioneering the Well Way of Life
In 1978, long before wellness became a multi-trillion dollar industry, Mel Zuckerman made the pivotal decision to change his sedentary lifestyle.
After two weeks of healthy living, he realized he’d transformed his life forever—and he wanted to help others do the same.
That mission began with the 1979 opening of the first Canyon Ranch destination in Tucson, Arizona. This first-of-its-kind wellness resort pioneered an integrative approach, drawing holistic methods, treatments, and evidence from both western and eastern to address well-being of mind, body, and spirit.
