The scope of spa therapy is brilliant, it is basically a
service that you and your customer enjoy at both ends. But it can only profit
if the therapist are able to associate themselves with good spa centers. The

also increasing simultaneously. That is why the spa therapy is so much in
demand these days. People are looking for good stress busters and spa therapy
fulfils the quest. Hence there is a bright scope for spa therapist because in
the near future it will be providing stability to all those people interested
in spa therapy career.

I see a lot of pros
in taking up spa therapy as a career, but can you point out some cons to me?

I understand the implication, that the spa therapy career is
not appropriate for females as customers are asked to be naked or semi-naked,
therefore in order to alleviate things we have promoted the concept of same
gender therapy across the world.

Why will you
recommend this as a career choice to youngsters?

According to me it is one of the best career options for
youngsters. It not only pays you handsomely but gives you a chance to travel
all around the world, one gets to meet new people, enjoy their food and
culture. Five to ten years down the line you will see the spa therapy career
has become the most influential.
