Dr. Ratheesh Kumar C, Spa Manager, Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa, reveals the ingredients that make for the perfect spa experience.
How did you come to be a part of the spa industry?
My journey began 15 years ago. I have a bachelor’s degree in Ayurveda Medicine and Yoga and started my career as an Ayurveda physician at the Arya Vaidya Chikitsalayam & Research Institute at Coimbatore. I worked with several hospitality brands before I joined the Hyatt family. As a Spa Manager at Park Hyatt Goa Resort and Spa, and heading the award-winning Sereno Spa for the past four years, my role has been exciting, and we continue to create unique and personalised wellness experiences.
What are the traits of a good spa manager?
Creativity is the crux of being a progressive spa manager, because the way to success is only through an integration of progressive thinking and an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the Ayurveda and wellness heritage of our country.
