SPATRADE'S NANCY GRIFFIN TO SPEARHEAD EDUCATION AT SPA FINDER PARTNER RETREAT

Nancy Griffin, CEO of SpaTrade, will be joining Spa Finder and their day spa partners at the prestigious destination spa, Miraval Life in Balance in Tuscon Arizona May 18-21st. The Miraval retreat will kick-off the second season of Spa Finder Partner Retreats, where day spa operators network and share ideas with their peers while experiencing a destination spa experience.

Kelley Wohlfarth, Spa Director at the Woodstock Spa at the Benjamin Hotel and a multiple 2002 Spa Finder retreat attendee, can't praise the Partner Retreats enough. 'My experiences at the Partner Retreats were unforgettable. This program should really be able to take the day spa facilities to another level!' 'Spa Finder has been committed to leveraging the synergies of day spas and 'stay' spas to grow the industry and create a more holistic experience for the consumer,' say Griffin. 'I'm proud to be a part of this program.'

In between the gourmet spa cuisine, yoga, hiking, and relaxation, Griffin will stimulate discussion between the day spa owners and managers while sharing information from SpaTrade's new Path To Profitability for Day Spas Report. The report features the industry's 7 hottest trends and 43 profit secrets gleaned from top day spas owners. Retreat attendees will also participate in Miraval's famous 'Equine Experience,' a perfect catalyst for management and personal growth discussions.
