German term or phrase: Sinnes- und Mentaltraining
Offered as a service in a hotel spa (feel-good treatments, massages, fitness instruction etc)
Sensory and cognitive training?
Or is the term "mental training" OK?

English translation:sensory awareness and mental skills training/coaching
Explanation:
To be "training" doesn't sound quite right for a hotel spa, where you go mainly to feel good rather than do anything overly serious - coaching sounds a little bit more personal and "softer".

Beim Sinnestraining machen wir Augen, Ohren, Haut und Nase sensibel. Wir schulen die Sinne, erhöhen die Aufmerksamkeit und beruhigen damit den Geist.

Unter den Bezeichnungen Mentales Training, Mentaltraining und Mentalcoaching werden auf dem Psychomarkt eine schwer überschaubare Vielfalt von Methoden angeboten, welche, je nach Anbieter, die soziale und emotionale Kompetenz, kognitive Fähigkeiten, die Leistungsfähigkeit, das Selbstbewusstsein, die mentale Stärke oder das Wohlbefinden fördern sollen. Eine verwandte Bezeichnung ist Motivationstraining, das in der Methodik vom Mentalen Training schwer abgrenzbar ist. Viele Anbieter bezeichnen es als Form des Coachings.
Mentales Training bezeichnete ursprünglich eine Trainingsmethode zur Optimierung sportlicher Bewegungsabläufe in der Sportpsychologie.

senses and mental power developing course


Explanation:
I think, that this term describes the meaning of Sinnes-und Mentaltraining in current context, because the training I suppose is intended to develop sensory perception and mental capacity.

You see coaches offering mental training to improve spiritual and mental strength, so 'mental training' is probably sufficient.
