Workshops & Training · Houston, TX
Training for therapists, at every stage.
Whether you’re preparing for the MBLEx, newly licensed, or a seasoned professional, we run training designed to sharpen your skills and grow your practice — plus business mentoring for spa owners.
Why We Teach
Built by people still working the table.
Everything we teach comes out of a working day spa in Montrose, not a classroom. The technique sessions are the ones our own therapists use daily. The business modules come from actually running the place — the pricing mistakes, the hiring, the quiet months.
We partner with local spas, business management professionals and healthcare experts so you’re getting a range of perspectives rather than one person’s opinion.
Who It’s For
Four stages, four different needs.
Our mission is to support you at every stage of your career, with training tailored to where you actually are — not a single course pointed at everyone.
Preparing for the MBLEx
Focused workshops covering the essential concepts and practical techniques you need to pass the exam — and to be genuinely ready for the work that follows it.
EXAM PREP & PRACTICE
Newly licensed
Hands-on sessions covering advanced technique and client management, so you build a practice with confidence rather than learning it the hard way on paying clients.
TECHNIQUE & CLIENT SKILLS
Experienced therapists
Ongoing education to deepen your expertise and explore new modalities. Staying current matters in this field, and it’s easy to let it slide once you’re busy.
CONTINUING EDUCATION
Spa & business owners
Specialised training on business management, marketing and operational excellence — built around the specific challenges of running a small day spa.
BUSINESS MENTORING
Anyone who wants a community
Collaborative workshops and networking, so you can practise your skills, gain insight and connect with other professionals instead of working in isolation.
NETWORK & PRACTICE
Taught with partners
We partner with local spas, business management professionals and healthcare experts, so you’re getting a range of perspectives rather than one person’s opinion.

Beyond Relaxation: Recognise the Signs of TRUE Relaxation

Fall Spa Party
A seasonal evening at the spa — treatments, conversation and a chance to meet other therapists working in Houston. Less classroom, more community.
Programme Outline
Growing Your Spa Business.
A seven-module programme for new spa and service-business owners, ending with an action plan you actually leave with.
Understanding your market
Who is actually within driving distance of you, what they already spend on wellness, and which of your competitors is doing something you aren’t.
Enhancing customer experience
The details that turn a one-off booking into a regular: intake, follow-up, and what happens in the ten minutes either side of the treatment.
Marketing strategies
What works for a local day spa on a small budget, and what quietly wastes money.
Expanding services and products
When to add a treatment or a retail line, when it will stretch you too thin, and how to price it.
Financial management
Budgeting, margins, therapist pay, and knowing your numbers well enough to make decisions with them.
Staff training and development
Hiring licensed professionals, keeping them, and building a team that doesn’t need watching.
Sustainability and community engagement
Building something that lasts and is genuinely part of its neighbourhood rather than just located in it.
Your action plan
You finish with a written plan for your own business, not a folder of notes.
