The Healing Company’s Chopra and Swan Hellenic Announce Exclusive, Multi-Year Partnership With Launch of Well-Being Travel Experience “Explore & Restore”
New York, NY, Oct. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chopra , a leading integrative health company founded by global well-being pioneer Dr. Deepak Chopra, M.D. and part of The Healing Company Inc. (OTCQB: HLCO) (“The Healing Company” or the “Company”), today announced an exclusive, multi-year partnership with Swan Hellenic , a leader in luxury cultural expeditions by sea.
Inspired by the healing properties of the sea, Chopra and Swan Hellenic have united to create an “ Explore & Restore ” well-being voyage intentionally curated to foster self-discovery and cultural immersion. Transcending the traditional boundaries of wellness tourism, “Explore & Restore” pairs inward journeys with outward exploration, resulting in a deeply enriching, healing experience—with impacts that last long after the voyage has concluded.
The partnership represents a continued dedication to delivering world-class wellness experiences for Chopra, and the first foray into the U.S. market for Swan Hellenic. Sales of the “Explore & Restore” well-being expeditions begin today, with six journeys slated for 2024 featuring five to nine days of programming. In addition, all Swan Hellenic ships will have a Chopra-certified meditation and yoga teacher offering daily private and group sessions.
“Healing programs like ‘Explore & Restore’ offer a unique opportunity for individuals to nourish their well-being while forging a meaningful connection with the world,” said Dr. Deepak Chopra, Chief Scientific Advisor to The Healing Company. “In my mission to help one billion people access healing, these spirit-awakening experiences play a pivotal role in propelling us towards a more just, sustainable, peaceful, healthy, and joyful world.”
“As we continue to undergo a renaissance since relaunching our cultural expedition cruises three years ago, Swan Hellenic’s primary emphasis has been to embrace wellness with our first entry into the American market next year. This launch, in collaboration with Chopra, signifies a momentous milestone,” said Andrea Zito, CEO of Swan Hellenic. “During this transformative journey, wellness and exploration seamlessly merge, igniting a unique path that invites travelers to embark on a voyage where self-care and discovery coexist. This collaboration mirrors our commitment to delivering authentic luxury and intimate, remote experiences with well-being at the forefront.”
Inaugural “Explore & Restore” expeditions in 2024 will enable guests to experience the rich tapestry of wellness traditions across the world, including:
- Panama City, Panama to Acapulco, Mexico – March 27 to April 2
- Nassau, Bahamas to New York, United States, including a session with Dr. Deepak Chopra – May 10 to May 15
- New York, United States to Halifax, Canada, including a session with Dr. Deepak Chopra – May 15 to May 21
- Palermo, Italy to Piraeus, Greece – August 28 to September 5
- Philipsburg, Saint Maarten to Bridgetown, Barbados – October 16 to October 22
- Maputo, Mozambique to Cape Town, South Africa – November 6 to November 13
“Explore & Restore” expeditions will include Ayurvedic culinary offerings, daily meditation, yoga and breathwork classes, and expert-led workshops designed to unveil their authentic self and ignite their path to purpose all while traveling to the most captivating places on Earth. Furthermore, Chopra is offering an “Explore & Restore” app program designed to help travelers ready their mind, body, and spirit, before, during, and long after their journeys—ultimately fostering a healing ritual that will have a lasting impact wherever they are.
“No longer confined to just spa treatments and yoga sessions, today’s discerning consumer is in pursuit of enriching experiences that encapsulate—and expand—their mental, physical, and spiritual health,” said Simon Belsham, CEO and Co-Founder of The Healing Company. “The Chopra ‘Explore & Restore’ program is a voyage of self-discovery and healing that inspires a profound connection with the world and oneself—and resonates long after the journey has ended. We are delighted to partner with Swan Hellenic to reimagine what a wellness retreat by sea looks like, in continuation of our strategy to bring forward impactful, highly innovative healing products and experiences in high growth sectors.”
As one of the fastest growing travel segments 1 , the global wellness tourism market is projected to reach $814.6 billion in 2030 and is expanding at a 12.4% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 2 . That growth along with the acceleration of the global cruise market—estimated to reach $22.8 billion in 2032 with an 11% CAGR 3 —underscores Chopra and Swan Hellenic’s understanding of the evolving preferences of modern travelers. By creating a bespoke spirit-awakening journey, Chopra and Swan Hellenic have developed a distinct experience for consumers to nurture their well-being while embracing the wonders of the world.
“As the travel and wellness industries have become more inexorably linked, our partnership with Swan Hellenic to create a deeply enriching expedition signifies the increasing demand for a new travel experience—one where personal well-being is seamlessly integrated into every voyage,” added Belsham.

NEW YORK, NY, Oct. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Healing Company Inc. (OTC: HLCO) today provided a business update and reported financial results for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.
The Healing Company posted revenue of $8.9 million for fiscal 2023, and sequential revenue for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter increased by 5% to $3.3 million compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023. Operating expenses were reduced by 11% for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2023, and annualized operating expenses were further reduced by nearly $1.8 million in August 2023.
“We are pleased to report that we achieved record revenue and positive adjusted EBITDA 1 in each segment, excluding one-time, non-recurring expenses, driven by prudent investment, disciplined growth, and reduced operating expenses,” said Simon Belsham, CEO and Co-Founder of The Healing Company. “These strong financial results in a foundational year reflect our rigorous approach to establish The Healing Company as a leading provider of integrated healing products and experiences, as well as our commitment to achieving long-term, sustainable profitability.”
The Healing Company continues to advance its mergers & acquisitions strategy within the wellness, supplement, and nutraceuticals sectors, identifying and acquiring high-impact healing brands, and working to grow them sustainably.
Belsham stated, “In less than a year since welcoming leading plant-based superfoods brand Your Super into our portfolio, the business achieved a historic milestone of positive adjusted EBITDA, affirming the strength of our business model. Our recent acquisition of Chopra in March 2023, founded by Time 100’s Most Influential People awardee Dr. Deepak Chopra, is already demonstrating strong performance with a significant threefold revenue increase for the fiscal 2023 fourth quarter compared to the previous quarter.”
In addition to its mergers and acquisitions strategy, The Healing Company is rigorously focused on driving organic growth through new product development, powerful storytelling, broadening distribution, and strategic partnerships.
Driven by resounding demand for science-backed products, The Healing Company announced positive clinical data proving Your Super’s Moon Balance superfood blend reduced menstrual symptoms in 86% of trial participants—reflecting its commitment to developing leading healing products with proven clinical benefits.
With heightened consumer interest in holistic Ayurvedic treatments—a $9.2 billion market expanding at a 15% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) 2 —the continued enthusiasm for Chopra’s products was evidenced by the successful launch and growth of the Chopra Renew & Restore Detox Kit, and the limited release of Chopra Signature Body Oils, which sold out within weeks of its debut and will be reintroduced next month. Moreover, the Chopra Health Retreat at CIVANA Wellness Resort & Spa in Arizona was recently honored with the 2023 Women’s Health Travel Award for Best Yoga Retreat worldwide—an accolade that illustrates the company’s successful strategy of building a community of world-class healing services, products, and experiences.
“Looking ahead, we will continue to identify and evaluate synergistic and accretive acquisition targets, and have a robust pipeline of potential targets rooted in scientific principles that resonate with customers,” said Belsham. “With a steadfast focus on science-backed healing products, services, content, and experiences, we are poised to continue shaping the landscape of well-being, fostering a culture of health, and delivering transformative experiences.”
Most recently, The Healing Company forged a partnership with Althea DRF Lifesciences, a leading Ayurvedic innovator and sister company to the largest Ayurvedic company, Dabur, with a $12 billion market capitalization. The partnership is designed to propel the company’s growth and product development and will enable The Healing Company to seamlessly combine traditional Ayurvedic principles with the cutting-edge research methodologies of modern biotechnology. The companies’ initial focus will be on the creation of seven products aiming to address brain health, anxiety management, sleep optimization, immunity enhancement, cardiovascular, and men’s and women’s health, with the first products from the partnership planned for release in the current fiscal year.
“We are committed to our mission of bringing integrated healing to the world and helping millions improve their quality of life. This past quarter, our products, services, and experiences helped nearly 250,000 people—a 16% increase from the prior quarter—and took our impact to nearly half a million customers this fiscal year. With the need and appetite for better health and healing solutions on the rise—a $450 billion market growing at more than 5% annually in the United States 3 —we are primed to become a leading contender in the health and wellness sector, a market forecast to reach $7 trillion by 2025 4 ,” concluded Mr. Belsham.
“This has been a foundational year for The Healing Company, with two milestone acquisitions and substantial achievements in growth and profitability,” added Kay Koplovitz, Board Chair of The Healing Company, and media pioneer and founder of USA Network. “With the leadership team’s deep industry knowledge, diverse range of perspectives, and commitment to championing science-backed healing products and experiences, The Healing Company is primed for growth and firmly on course to change the paradigm in integrated health.”

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To provide investors with additional information regarding its financial results, the Company has provided certain financial measures that are not recognized under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in this press release, including: earnings or loss before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin,
The Company calculates EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income or loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, net and income taxes. EBITDA margin represents EBITDA as a percentage of net sales. The Company calculates adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, by further excluding non-cash items for stock-based compensation expenses, one-time expenses (including severance and consulting), change in fair value of warrant liability, and transaction-related costs. Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of net sales.
EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin should be viewed as measures of operating performance that are supplements to, and not substitutes for, operating income or loss, net income or loss and other GAAP measures of income and loss. The Company has included EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin in this press release because they are key measures used by the Company’s management to evaluate and compare the Company’s financial and operational performance over multiple periods, identifying trends affecting the Company’s business, formulating business plans and making strategic decisions. In particular, the exclusion of certain expenses or income in calculating adjusted EBITDA facilitates operating performance comparability across reporting periods by removing the effect of non-cash expenses and certain non-recurring variable charges. In addition, the Company believes that providing each of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA helps investors make comparisons between The Healing Company and other companies that may have different capital structures, different tax rates and different forms of employee compensation. Each of EBITDA, EBITDA margin, adjusted EBITDA, and adjusted EBITDA margin has inherent limitations because of the excluded items, and may not be directly comparable to similarly titled metrics used by other companies.
