About me
I’m Natalie Fischer-Nagel, founder of Natalie Fischer-Nagel Spa Consulting - an advisory company for innovative spa, wellness, and preventive health concepts. I specialize in supporting resorts, day spas, healthcare facilities, investor-led developments, and municipal initiatives. With strategic foresight and operational depth, I guide each project from idea to implementation - always aiming to create spaces that resonate and inspire lasting change.
My Journey
When I entered the spa and wellness industry in the early 1990s, terms like “spa” and “wellness” in Germany still lacked meaning and substance.
I saw this as my opportunity: to lay the foundation for a spa culture built on effectiveness, transparency, quality, and economic viability.
For over 25 years now, I’ve been accompanying the exclusive spa world of Europe - with deep expertise and a clear understanding of operational structures. My foundation? A degree from a state-recognized school of cosmetology in Frankfurt. A decision that still shapes my work today - because only those who understand the basics and bring hands-on operational experience can create true quality with credibility, instead of just presenting concepts on paper.
My path led me from Frankfurt to New York, to the legendary Bliss Spa, and then on to spa projects in Spain and the Balearic Islands. In 2005, I joined the pre-opening team of A-ROSA Travemünde, where I was responsible for a 4,500 m² original thalasso center with 28 treatment rooms and 45 employees. In 2010, I developed the award-winning SPA-ROSA Sylt and also took over its operational leadership.
Later, as Director of Spa & Health, I assumed strategic and financial responsibility for all four spa areas of the A-ROSA Resorts - covering a total of 16,000 m². I was entrusted with developing new products, brands, rituals, and training programs for around 100 SPA-ROSA experts—a role that inspired and shaped me deeply.
In early 2014, I founded Natalie Fischer-Nagel Spa Consulting - and from the very beginning, I was overwhelmed by the strong demand in the market. I worked across Europe until I met the visionary founder of Weissenhaus. A mystery check brought me to the newly opened resort - and changed my life and plans for the years ahead. The opportunity to shape and lead Weissenhaus as General Manager has been extraordinary - a role that continues to fill me and my husband Frank Nagel with pride and passion to this day.
Beyond that, I contribute to the luxury hospitality industry as a delegate for Germany and Austria in the renowned Relais & Châteaux association, where I hold a seat on the Board of Directors in Paris. I also share my insights regularly as a keynote speaker - focusing on contemporary spa culture - and as an author.
Each of these roles is a source of deep fulfillment - and they require my full attention. That’s why I take on only a few select consulting projects each year. These I accompany with true dedication, personal presence, and the ambition to create something extraordinary - together.
