Train Of Thought

Around the world, spas are leaving no stone unturned to ensure that every experience they offer is holistic

- Charu Sharma

The lights are dim, soft music is playing in the background and you are greeted by a smiling face as soon as you enter the spa. After a quick chat or consultation, you are led to your treatment room for an hour-long therapy, and once your session is over, you come out completely relaxed and feeling as if time has just flown by. Isn’t that how you should feel after a great spa session?

Well, it is no secret that spending time at a spa works wonders for your physical and mental well being. But the amount of effort that goes into making you feel that way is enormous. Around the world, spas invest a lot time and attention in making sure that they are able to offer the best experiences to their guests. Hours of training, co-ordination, team effort and hard work go into making every spa experience stand out.

Spas focus on two primary aspects of training for therapists – technical, which involves product knowledge, therapy techniques and more; and soft skills, such as how to treat guests, communication skills and more. These aspects help therapists add to the overall experience at the spa.
