Continuing education workshops for spa services providers and spa managers.
www.spa-college.com
Spa College was founded by Liz Galloway and Nicolay Kreidler, both consultants to the spa industry, as well as licensed therapists, to address the significant need they encounter in their business for practitioner education.
Spa facilities as well as independent practitioners (whether massage therapists, estheticians or other spa service providers) need to be more than ever capable of offering a wide variety of treatments beyond the standard formulas in order to acquire new and retain existing clients as well as keep their service menu items fresh and attractive.
For massage therapists this can even become existential because of the physical limitations of the number of massages they can perform while spa treatments are much less taxing on the body giving them the opportunity to sustain their income.
Spa facilities and independent practitioners also need to be able to introduce and market additional services to the public in an attractive, economical and purposeful manner.
Liz and Nicolay have designed a series of educations workshops to introduce and refine the options practitioners have, when offering spa services as well as a component that addresses the challenges of marketing these specific services.
The Spa College approach is to primarily to teach underlying techniques and principles as well as to share necessary resources rather than focusing on specific treatment protocols. The goal is to ensure that each participant understands the foundation of the different types of spa treatments and to empower the individual to be creative in designing their own exclusive treatment that embraces the elements of their specific situation such as: location, ecology, resources and clientele.
The curriculum therefore includes ingredient knowledge, sourcing ingredients and application procedures as well as equipment requirements, standards of cutting edge spa service, presentation, and last but not least communication skills and marketing.
The series launches in Costa Rica, known for its ecotourism and nature adventures in November in Punta Quepos, only minutes from the Manuel Antonio National Park.
