Tribe517, the UK’s natural and sustainable artisan treatment brand founded by experienced holistic spa therapist, Claire Caddick, has launched its ‘Three Pillars of Wellness’ signature treatments which include protocols that prioritise the wellness of the therapist.
The Three Pillars of Wellness are industry focussed and centred around Tribe517’s ethical ethos, delivering exceptional and memorable holistic treatments which consider the wellbeing of the Therapist, Client and Spa.
1. Therapist – for optimal performance and personal enjoyment and happiness delivering the treatment
2. Client – when the therapist performs at the height of their ability, the client benefits from a deeper, more memorable experience which encourages them to recommend and return
3. Spa business – for retaining and attracting therapists and repeat guests for maximum return on investment
Protocol for the Three Pillars of Wellness training has been developed following Claire’s own experience of working for some 36 years as a spa therapist. Tribe517’s education programme includes teaching therapists to leverage their body weight to reduce the amount of wrist and thumb movements and therefore reducing fatigue and injury. Secondly it includes grounding and Hero Breathing that syncs with the client experience and enables the therapist to take a moment of calm and respite too. Another procedure that concludes the treatment, is a focus on gratitude and appreciation which involves the therapist as well as the client. Therapists participating in Tribe517 training also become part of the Tribe Army with access to a support line for ongoing wellbeing and skills assistance.
Alex Hurt, Spa Director at Weaver’s House Spa, a Tribe517 spa partner, says: “Treatments are the biggest piece of the spa pie, so it’s super important to get this right. In an industry struggling to find therapists, it’s about time we focus on the wellbeing of our teams. We at Weavers’ House Spa, have truly fallen for the ethical love that Tribe517 brings.”
Announcing the launch of Tribe517’s Three Pillars of Wellness programme, founder, Claire Caddick says “As a therapist I understand only too well the importance of making sure the therapist is given the appropriate training to deliver an exceptional treatment time after time and at the same time, take pleasure in their job. The procedures we have developed have been enthusiastically received by our partner spas and its music to my ears when I hear a therapist say ‘I could do massage all day long with these protocols’.”
Tribe517 is currently available in 15 leading UK spas including Moddershall Oaks, The Wave Garden Spa, Breedon Priory, Manor House Alsager and Weaver’s House Spa.
