“She always feels at home at Paracelsus, and knows she’ll get love and attention there, as well as expert health treatment when she’s feeling at her most vulnerable,” a source told the publication.

Earlier this month, media reports uncovered that email exchanges showed Ferguson, her husband, and Epstein had kept up their close friendship even after the late billionaire financier was convicted of a sex crime involving a minor.

The emails included one in which Ferguson congratulated Epstein on the birth of a “baby boy,” and another in which she seemed to ask him for bankruptcy advice.

Lakeside wellness clinic promises ‘tailor-made’ approach

According to Paracelsus Recovery’s website, its clients stay in private penthouse residences by Lake Zurich, with access to 15 medical experts, as well as a personal chef, housekeeping services, and concierge assistance.

The facility offers “tailor made” treatments for mental health and addiction with packages ranging between $44,000 to $212,000.

News of the Ferguson’s stay at the wellness retreat comes days after her husband’s arrest on suspicion of misconduct for having shared confidential trade information with Epstein.

Police have been searching Mountbatten-Windsor’s former home, the Royal Lodge, since his arrest.

He was held in custody for 11 hours before being released under investigation.

The former prince has consistently denied all claims made against him in relation to Epstein.
