Welcome
"We must not forget that when radium was discovered no one knew that it
would prove to be useful in hospitals........And this is a proof that scientific work
must not be considered from the point of view of the direct usefulness of it. It must
be done for itself, for the beauty of science.....there is always a chance that a scientific
discovery may become like radium, a benefit for humanity."
Marie Curie, from a lecture at Vassar College

THE BRIDGE TO A HEALTHIER TOMORROW
Our story
As a young girl music and books would become a dominate theme in creating my inner oasis.
Music would provide a way to bridge the emotions that could not be expressed in a common language. Dancing to music was a daily ritual and would provide a sense of wellbeing and renewed energy. The affinity for creating beauty in my surroundings and the awareness that color played a significant role in my moods and emotions, were as instinctive as breathing. Reading books and journaling were a part of my essence and provided the foundation for creating the life I envisioned.
At the age of 19, I chose a career as a beauty consultant for an international direct sales company and would continue teaching skin care and color analysis classes for more than a decade. Many opportunities were presented to me to give back from the fountain of youth bubbling inside of me, through motivational speaking, volunteering to mentor young women, chairing events and mentoring at risk women. This theme of women mentoring women was a bridge to the future of Inner Oasis Spas, Ltd. and The Bridge to a Healthier Tomorrow.
However, it was a trip to visit the LaCosta Resort and Spa in 1989 which would change my life! Upon arrival, we were greeted with a friendly staff member who would provide the introduction to this world class resort and spa. The consulting doctor and spa therapists would provide an intake evaluation and facilitate a program which would provide the tools for deriving the optimum benefit from my visit. Of course, first on my agenda, was to design a program for healthy weight loss, which has been a life long theme for me.
The tempting spa cuisine played a vital part in providing healthy nutrition and the recipes were even available to take home. The luxurious daily spa treatments such as massage, herbal wraps, hydrotherapy and aromatherapy facials were like a healing balm to my tired spirit (overtaxed
from years of overwork). My body responded with new vitality and embraced this inner and outer beauty workout of meditation, dance and fitness exercises. The crème de la crème was the trip to the beauty salon on the final day and I was convinced that this spa lifestyle was the best investment I could make in my overall wellbeing. I was determined to bring the spa home and to incorporating spa at home treatments as part of my daily ritual. Finally, I was determined to make a daily habit of eating right, fitness walking and yoga and to making an overall investment in my health and wellbeing through regular visits to day and resort spas.
This spa experience would be the catalyst for setting the intention for incorporating my successful experience in the beauty business, hospitality and real estate sales to forming a spa company which would later become Inner Oasis Spas, Ltd.
For more than a decade I toured the major spas in North America and continued to devote my spare time to incorporating and practicing the spa therapies at home, while still selling real estate. To designing a business plan for combining a resort spa experience which would focus on the best spa experience for the consumer and provide a solid return on investment to the hospitality facility, I reinvented my real estate career to selling international resorts, hotels and master planned communities. This provided a vast network of mentors and professionals in the hospitality industry and a thorough knowledge of financial wellness as part of the overall design of a healthy business.
Health is wealth!
