Spa Consulting

Consulting for Hotels, Resorts & Sophisticated Spa Businesses

Exceptional spa culture is the foundation of my expertise. For more than 25 years, I have explored what it truly takes to create and operate a successful spa. I know this world from almost every perspective: from the treatment room and the leadership of large spa teams to the development and positioning of spa concepts and overall responsibility for sophisticated hotel operations.

I support hotels, resorts, investors and spa businesses in developing existing operations or creating new spa concepts from the ground up. Guest experience, teams, processes, utilisation, pricing, productivity, budgets, revenue and profitability all need to work together.

Because an exceptional spa creates memorable guest experiences while making a measurable contribution to the property’s revenue and profitability.

Experience Built on Responsibility

One of my greatest strengths is that I have carried operational responsibility myself for many years – from the smallest operational detail to the strategic direction of large-scale spa operations. I have led spa teams of up to 150 employees across three countries and held personal responsibility for annual spa revenues of up to €8 million.

My experience spans the full spectrum of the spa business: from seasonal operations in Mallorca and one of Germany’s most highly acclaimed hotel spas at WEISSENHAUS to the strategic direction, development and operation of the spas across the A-ROSA group.

No process is too small and no strategic question too complex. Leadership, staff scheduling, utilisation, treatment times, budgets, pricing, sales, quality and guest experience are as interconnected to me as positioning, revenue and profitability.

New Builds, Refurbishments & Openings

I support owners, developers, and architectural teams from the initial concept to the operational opening. Extensive operational spa experience is particularly valuable during this phase: decisions made during planning and construction shape the guest experience, workflows, space efficiency, and profitability for many years to come. From the layout of rooms and pathways to functional processes, shower areas, storage space, treatment rooms, and guest comfort, seemingly minor details can have a significant impact on later operations. My aim is to contribute this experience early on – before an avoidable decision becomes a permanent and costly limitation.
