Entry into the spa industry I began in hospitality in the food and beverage field. Seeking growth, I applied for a spa director role and was promoted to take on that challenge. I fell in love with the caring and nurturing spa professional team and committed myself to the spa industry then. After many years and a bit of time as a hotel general manager, I returned to my beloved spa industry that I consider my soul’ s home.

Personal wellness tip or ritual for balance and energy I spend as much time with my husband and adult children as possible! Being outdoors whenever the sun is shining, casual hiking with my amazing dogs, kayaking and star gazing. My husband and I also enjoy culinary adventures and seek out amazing cuisine to travel to and experience.
