Leadership Team

Come Experience the Secrets of Relaxation

Behind the scenes are critical leadership roles that support the Relaxation Specialists (RS) and Registered Massage Therapists (RMT) team’s as well as our wellness community. It takes a team to run our boutique spa. The spa opened in Aug of 2019 and the leadership team emerged in early 2021. Each role was added to support the team and the founder so that the company could continue to grow and scale; while improving customer service, our experience and building the vision.    

We continue to evolve, adapt and pivot to the world around us. We continue to look for ways we can improve and strive to do better each and every day. The leadership team contributes to the overall brand and vision of the company through policy creation, training, hiring and coaching. 

As a team we all have our zones of genius (our specialities) in which we operate in and add value to the team overall but we often collaborate and cross train to support each other or add another perspective. 

Our Team

Come experience the secrets of relaxation.

Shannon, K (She/Her)

HR Director
My career started with opportunities that focused on customer service and teamwork. It was a natural transition into Human Resources, which has allowed me to gain practical and diverse experience through providing HR support to teams ranging in size from 10 – 450.

My love for Human Resources stems from my desire to build genuine connections and collaborate with others. I challenge myself to be the best I can be everyday which is why I’m excited to be part of such an innovative and creative team with common goals for continued growth, elevation and success.

I strive to make those around me feel at ease, which allows me to support and mentor those around me, while learning from them. I work hard to continually step outside my comfort zone to grow as both, a professional and a person.
