Hotel Spas: Challenges to cleanliness, appearance and charisma of the therapist
EuropeSpa Blog
by Dr. Kurt von Storch
3y ago
Outstanding service in Hotel Spa includes also the attitude and apperanece of the therapist. There is a deep – often unconscious – interaction between staff and guest which influences the guests picture about the spa. This is a recognizable factor of success.  Some say, “One half of the spa is the architecture and decor, and the other half is the staff.” The way the staff behave towards the guest contributes significantly to the overall impression that the guest gets from the spa. “A smile is the cheapest capital”, as you say in the US. But beyond that, the staff always emits information ..read more

The miracle worker salt therapy

Salty air is healing, beautifying, detoxifying and energizing. Several research results confirm the beneficial impact of using salt inside and outside of our body. Not only water – salt is essential to life, too. Written records of frequent use of salt for healing and anti-inflammatory purposes go back until ancient Egypt. By now, it is proven that we need salt or its connected elements for even the simplest processes in our body. Minerals are necessary for proper cell function and metabolism. Certainly, it matters in what form and quality we take the suggested salt amount. Instead of table sa ..read more

Today’s civilized and, thus sadly, mostly hectic life contributes to the fact that we put too much needless things into and on our bodies, which cumulate in our cells as toxins. We take them in, for example, by unbalanced nutrition, cosmetics, chemicals, or even by the pollution in the air we breathe. If we manage to change our daily habits and consciously spend time to consume and use as many top quality, clean products as possible, we can put a barrier to the possible unpleasant consequences from toxins in our bodies. However, this is easier said than done. This is why we have put together s ..read more

Since antique times water has served as an essential part of religious purifications, healing rituals and beauty treatments. But could water’s importance be just a tradition that we have inherited from our ancestors or does it have real healing effects? And what is water therapy exactly?

The Importance of Spa Retail

It is no secret that almost all Spa centres offer retail products. What is the reason and how do we choose among them? What is the difference between professional and consumer skin care products? These are the kinds of questions I hear daily in my Spa studio. Why recommend products? Imagine the following scenario: You wake up one morning feeling sick so you decide to make an appointment with your doctor. During your visit he checks you over and asks you a few questions. He informs you that you have strep throat, smiles, thanks you for coming and escorts you out of his office. He does not offe ..read more

Spa Menu Design: The First Impression counts
EuropeSpa Blog
by Dr. Kurt von Storch
3y ago
Information material on the spa displayed in the hotel room is one of the first touchpoints with guests. Here the guests are in their own four walls. Here they feel safe. Here they have time, they find rest and peace. Almost everyone has a look at the provided spa menu but in the end only less than 5 % actually use the services. So, if you want to catch the attention of the guest and make them curious, the spa menu design plays a very important first role: feel, design, texts, pictures…. A spa menu is supposed to arouse interest, motivate to go on reading, create anticipation, overcome obstacl ..read more

The Power of the Subconscious in the Spa
EuropeSpa Blog
by Dr. Kurt von Storch
3y ago
When entering a spa, the guest perceives many different impressions – partly consciously but also subconsciously. In a good spa the guest not only receives the mere treatment they booked but rather a whole experience, which includes the spa as a unit. We consciously perceive mainly what we know and expect. Impressions that „want to be perceived“, however, need to pass the threshold of consciousness. In general, those are elements for which the guest is prepared. But also aspects that may surprise them.   What’s really exciting is what the guest perceives subconsciously. This includes impr ..read more

The secret of Complementary Treatments in Spas
EuropeSpa Blog
by Anett Wellesz
3y ago
The concepts of complementary and alternative therapies are often mixed up. Although they cannot be distinguished exactly as several of their parameters overlap, there is one decisive difference between them: Complementary therapies are used alongside or in addition to conventional medication. Alternative therapies are applied instead of conventional medicine.   Many people use complementary treatments to boost their immune system, improve physical, emotional health, or simply for cutting off stress. Sometimes doctors also prescribe them to ease pain or reduce side effects of certain chem ..read more
