Spas are a place for alternative medicines and have evolved to include relaxation, unwinding, and pampering. It is now a hub for social mingling, where we try to find the personal touch in otherwise disconnected lifestyles. Every year, new trends emerge in the spa industry. Let’s take a look at some of the new trends. Home spas are becoming a big trend as people live life to the fullest. People prefer spas to come to them, thanks to more modern bathrooms, which include hydrotherapeutic showers, tubs, and glass tiles.
Alternative Medicine
Teenagers who are whacky or growing up need to be taught about healthy food, exercise, and alternative medicine. A spa treatment could help them start a healthy lifestyle. Parents pamper their children with a spa experience. After all, a hospital is a treatment center. Integrating alternative therapies such as spas with conventional allopathic treatments can speed up patients’ recovery. The patient can be treated at their bedside with quick spa treatments that help to relieve stress and boost spirits.
Reflexology techniques are used to treat specific areas of the body that are in decline. The patient will feel loved and cared for with manicures and pedicures that include the use of healing creams, as well as bedside hair wash and styling and makeup application. However, these treatments should be affordable for patients. People prefer themes in everything they do. Theme is the way to go, whether you’re looking for parks, gardens, or parties.
Theme Spas
Why not theme spas? Themed venues allow customers to forget about their everyday worries and just indulge in themselves. This trend cannot be ignored. Resort spas and retreat spas. Destination spas are not a new concept. They have been offering week-long seminars in various wellness categories like yoga, ayurveda and special medical conditions like arthritis for a long time. To cater to clients who are looking for a break from everyday life, more resort spas will be opened. This trend will continue to gain support from patrons. Spas that offer a variety of trusted treatments are the next big thing.
Watsu (water, shiatsu), yogalates and Thai massage (yoga, pilates) are some of the fusion treatments that have made their way into spas. Experts will likely come up with a combination of several such treatments so clients can reap the benefits of each one. Spas that are deeply rooted within the culture and traditions of their locale will attract more clients. Indian spas offer traditional massages using oil and herbs that have been used in the country for many years.
Traditional Therapies
There are also wellness packages that incorporate traditional therapies. A large proportion of spa visitors are men. They prefer to visit a spa when they travel, mainly for relaxation. In the coming years, spas that cater to these customers will grow in popularity. Spas that offer beauty treatments using herbs, good food, or clinically enhanced products will grow as more people realize the importance of inner beauty.
Spas will have to stop using synthetic and chemical cosmetic products and instead focus on natural ingredients in various treatments. Spas that serve bland and unappetizing food are no longer welcome. Clients will appreciate the effort to make the food look and smell delicious. Spas should also not forget to consider the nutritional value of the food. Spas can help to eliminate toxins from the body by providing treatments. Bad eating habits, irregular sleep, and degrading ecology all have a negative impact on the body. Major client turnover will be experienced by spas that offer detox solutions, whether it’s through diet, bonding, and sweating.
Flower Scences
Many busy practitioners find themselves having to sacrifice their own needs in order to care for their patients. This is not ideal as it can quickly drain your resources and lead to burnout over a longer time. I’ve found many essences and combinations that address this issue as a Craniosacral Therapist. They also support healthy boundaries and access deep resources in my work. Some I use every day, while others I use for occasional replenishment. These are the most important items I use to support myself and my work.
The four sprays – Calling All Angels (Guardian, Purification, and Lighten up) – contain Alaskan Flower and Gem Essences and very high quality essential oils. They are space or aura sprays. They are also available in concentrated form, without essential oils. Calling All Angels allows me to connect with the angelic realm for guidance, support, love, and protection. It is a gentle, loving, and peaceful energy that can be felt in the heart, body, and environment. It is useful if you feel you need support from a team.
Auras
Guardian creates a strong aura of protection. It creates harmonious, positive energies that help you to claim your energetic space, keep your grounding, and feel the protection from strong, healthy boundaries. This is especially important when you are dealing with patients who seem to expect more from you than you would normally expect. This helps you be clear about your boundaries so that patients can respect them. Purification is a “space clearing”, which purifies your energy field and the environment. It can be used to dissolve stagnant energy patterns on any level. It is especially useful for patients as it helps to refresh the energy in the room.
The Lighten Up Spray is great for bringing more light into your aura after a long day of work or intense sessions. Spraying your environment can be used to increase energy circulation and improve the flow of energy in your practice area. This is great for overcast days when everything seems impossible. This Essence works on both the mental and emotional levels. It is for people who work in healing or caring situations and who give much of their bodies and emotional support to those in need. One can feel tired as a caregiver and lose their joy.
Good to know
Alpine Mint Bush can bring back joy and enthusiasm. Protection is a powerful support for people and situations that are difficult. This Essence Combination is one of the Wild Earth Sharing Love’ Essences. It provides powerful support to fully engage one’s heart in active service to others. This formula includes Robin for selfless service, Dolphin to feel & express compassion, Wild Horse to serve with an open heart, Wolf to connect and bond with others, Giraffe for helping while keeping perspective, and Robin for Robin.
This combination helps us to remain energetically intact and aligned while working closely with the subtle energies of others. It promotes healthy vitality by allowing us to connect deeply to our healing needs and inner vital force, and to learn how to work with that force effectively and deeply. Sometimes we are so focused on the well-being of our patients that it is difficult to see our own needs. This can lead to us not being able to continue to serve others. I find that using Essences in my practice helps me to continue this work.
