Spa Talk with Skylar Burnworth

Meet Skylar Burnworth, business development manager of Fit Bodywrap. 

What’s your go-to spa treatment?

As much as I hate to admit it, I rarely can get in for a treatment myself. However, when I do, I am a sucker for a standard Swedish massage. I recently had the opportunity to have a treatment done at a local property and the massage included an ESPA Pink Mud scalp treatment- absolutely divine.

 

How do you like to spend your time away from work?

When I am away from work I like to spend my time camping. Getting out into nature while spending time with family and friends is when I am truly relaxed and in my element.

 

Where do you think the industry is heading?

It is a very exciting time in the industry right now. There is a large focus on wellness based services. You see a lot more properties incorporating nutritional programs, relaxation and meditation classes. Ensuring clients are healthy from the inside out will lead to happier, more balanced lives which I think the industry is recognizing.

 

What positions have you worked in that you feel have been most influential to your career?

The job I had throughout college was a family business that was rapidly growing. I wore many hats over the years, but it was in the juggling of those hats I believe I found my work ethic. I learned there is no job too small for anyone and everyone should always pitch in if they can. Collaboration, team work and communication is so crucial to a thriving business and happy employees.

 

What’s the best advice you’ve received?

My grandma, as most grandmas are, is full of advice. One of my favorite things she has ever told me and one of the things I always find myself coming back to is “nothing lasts forever”. Whenever anyone in the family is going through a hard time you will hear my grandma say “Oh honey, nothing lasts forever. In 6 months, you won’t even remember this happened”. What a true statement! There are very few things in life that are really worth stressing over.
