Spa Executive | Issue 12 | November 2019

Women need to believe in themselves. Speak up
and tell people what you dream to accomplish, set
goals and make them known. Know what you know
and hire for the skillsets you’re lacking. Delegate and
elevate your team.
Personally, I believe that, as a woman, you need to
have grit, know your purpose and build your
community. No matter where your career takes you,
stay close to your gut-instinct, check in with
yourself, and don’t get caught up in the game. It’s
healthy to re-assess and stop doing what doesn’t
make you happy – that’s success, not failure.
What is the hardest part of what you do?
As an entrepreneur, the hardest part is not knowing
what I don’t know! Hiring roles outside of my own
expertise is always challenging. I would say the
hardest part of my role is putting the right people in
the right seat
Can you talk about any trends in spa and
wellness that you’re excited about?
As a functional designer I’m excited that technology
is leading innovation in fabrics and production. We
have started making uniforms from recycled water
bottles that are crushed and turned into yarns, and
our next uniform project is to further develop our
fitness collection to outfit fitness professionals. We
will also continue to learn and advise our clients on
sustainable uniform sourcing. We have become very
passionate about this.
