The goal of this book is to inform you which spa treatments the general public expects and how to perform them as well as a path to creating and promoting them to your clientele. Depending on your ambition and goals, this might mean becoming a successful spa and body technician in addition to your existing training as a massage therapist or esthetician by learning proven and creative techniques to add to your repertoire or this might mean becoming a thoroughly informed manager or owner in order to make informed decisions about service programs and implementation. 

As a practitioner of another modality it is good to know the ins and outs of spa treatments whether you perform them or not, so you can refer your clients to other complementary treatments, or answer questions posed by clients, as well as understand how spa treatments can work together with your practice.

Even if you never apply the techniques personally because you are involved in management or another role in the spa business, it makes sense to know as much about these processes as possible as they form one of the core components of the spa business and become instrumental in distinguishing your facility in most people’s minds as a spa.

What this book also does is help you build a foundation of knowledge and general understanding of spa treatments and hopefully it will complement and expand your interest in areas of natural health and beauty care that you previously did not consider.

Whether you are a novice or a seasoned professional, you know that spas are not a new invention, but that they are becoming increasingly popular and new adaptations are forming all the time. Spas are becoming an integral part of many healthcare and hospitality operations ranging from resorts to hospitals, and spa services are penetrating new areas of our lives all the time. They are building a bridge between lifestyle choices and health.

Spas have been in business since ancient times with waxing and waning presence in culture and society. All ancient civilizations developed treatments to cure ailments and increase wellbeing - all using the natural products and resources they found in their environment. Hundreds of years of protracted observation, trial and error and spontaneous discovery refined products and treatments that we are now rediscovering.

A large part of our Western spa culture today evolved from “taking the waters” at mineral baths throughout Europe. These waters had a combination of beneficial minerals and trace elements as well as thermal qualities that occurred naturally.

Healers, doctors and health practitioners were drawn to these sources and drew their patients with them.  Massage and exfoliation were an integral part of the process. Spending time in one of the traditional baths or former Roman hydrotherapy centers, such as those in Baden-Baden, Germany, or Vichy, France one can still feel the spirit of ancient times. With growing consciousness around body, mind and spirit, there has also been an increased interest in alternative health starting in the 60’s and 70’s that continues strongly through the present day.

One theory suggests that the word “spa” came from an old town in Belgium by the name of “Spa” famous for its mineral baths. Resident doctors developed methods and techniques to improve results introducing products such as Fango, a volcanic mud from Italy, hydrotherapy, Kneipp therapy, body brushing to exfoliate, and hosing down with cold and hot water to activate blood circulation and detoxification.

Ancient cultures used their own philosophies of healing such as Ayurveda in India, Jamu in Indonesia, Huna in Hawaii and the Polynesian Islands, Tibetan Medicine and others, to structure and inform the healing procedures. Today we are reconnecting and reactivating not only traditions from cultures we encounter where we live but also those of our ancestors from all over the world, as well as embracing age-old traditions that are very alive and well in their originating cultures.

This book would like to be an inspiration and source for you to become adept at practicing spa therapy as well as a guide to creating your own body therapies and increasing your spa/practice client satisfaction not to mention increasing your own joy at providing these services.

Whether you are a new therapist, recent graduate, seasoned spa professional, or exploring options in a new skill or career, we will help you put together a system for preparing yourself and your facility for success.
