Family Day




At Spa Utopia we often hear the word FAMILY being used to describe the feelings we have toward our team members. We spend a lot of time together. We’re a diverse group of people who offer one another all the things that a FAMILY should;
 strength, support, advice, nourishment, friendship, love…

Your FAMILY may be near or far, large or small, boring,
 loud or crazy. You may be a single parent with teenagers
 or you may have a dog and a cat whom you consider your FAMILY. 
Perhaps you have a new born baby or an aging grandparent
 that you've been aching to spend precious time with.

FAMILIES are great…they’re the glue, the ‘super’ glue that
 keeps us all connected, through thick and thin. 

All Spa Utopia locations will be closed on Monday February 11th, 2013 to celebrate BC's first official Family Day Holiday

Whatever your FAMILY looks like, we hope you take time to enjoy 
your day and the people in your life!

Happy New Year DREAM TEAM!



WOW…what a way to kick start a new year!

The energy in the spas this week is incredible! Our Managers, Skin Care Therapists, Make Up Artists and Hair Designers  have just completed an intensive and all-inspiring, knock your socks off CHAMP CAMP with the awesome, dedicated coaches from Inspiring Champions.( Lauren, Lance, Heather, Rachaun and Paul..."we love you guys" - welcome to our family!)

It was an amazing 3 days, with over 100 Spa Utopia super stars! We poured our hearts out, dug deep inside our souls, found meaning and inspiration, shared stories, struggles and frustrations…..we teamed up, offered support and gained strength and confidence from each other. We cried and we laughed, we stumbled and we DANCED… and we barely slept, if at all!
  
I sensed a common, burning desire from everyone who attended the camp - and that is to deliver an unforgettable spa experience to each and every guest…to lead and live a balanced and happy life, to be present and enjoy the moment, to be accountable, passionate and committed.

Each team member at Spa Utopia has a story and a dream. They’ve earned their wings and now it’s time to fly!

We’re so excited for our Massage Therapy teams to go through Champ Camp this week, followed by our Guest Services Representatives at the end of February!

Happy New Year DREAM TEAM!
