THE ROAD AHEAD
Walking the Path
Toward a Meaningful Spa Career
When it comes to building a professional spa career, there’s
hardly one path to take. Some start as an intern or work as a
front desk receptionist before rising through the ranks.

Others carve their spa career path working as a therapist
before becoming a spa director, respected educator or
starting a spa business. It is inspiring to hear different
stories as to how spa professionals started in the industry and
the way they persevered to grow into the roles they now play.
Why has it become more important to tell these stories? It
has become valuable because there is a need to inspire future
leaders to take on a career in spa so that the industry can
meet the growing demands of skilled spa professionals as
more and more people seek to live healthier lifestyles.
