adapt your readings to fit a spa’s
schedule?
T: Readings can go from a half hour to
an hour, depending on the spa. In a
half hour, I’m sort of in a flow and I
pump out a lot of infor-
mation. Spas always have
their set treatment times, but
if someone needs a bit more,
I’m able to give them that
time if the spa allows it.
I usually try to make sure that
the guest has their needs met
in the time they have.
P: Speaking of crystals: do you have any
guidance for spas—especially those who
don’t have access to a medium—wish-
ing to use crystals more?
P: I’m sure that there are spas
that use you for more than just
readings. Are there other ways a
spa director can use a medium
to help boost the presence of
spirituality in their spa?
T: I was contacted by a consult-
ant who needed help with the
development of a healing room
in a new spa project. She
was working with a feng
shui master but
needed something
that was more on
the spiritual level. I
helped with crys-
tal selection: all
treatment rooms
will have specific
crystals embedded
into the design of
the suites, and there
is a beautiful crystal-
lined sanctuary where
specialized healing treat-
ments will take place.
Another spa wanted to organize a
special fundraising event for a regular
guest who was going through some
major health issues. We provided
readings for everyone who made a
minimum donation to the fund and
we all had such a blast.
“I try to
focus on areas
that I can help
people navigate
the world.
I don’t focus on neg-
ativity, that’s
not what
I do.”

T: Crystals are a great addition to a spa
and treatment room. The best choices
are as follows: when you walk into a
spa, seeing an amethyst geode will
immediately connect one with their
higher self. It’s very calming and
healing, and it helps remove all of one’s
nervousness. It helps one to leave their
baggage at the entrance of the spa so
that the magic can begin!
For treatment rooms, a
large crystal quartz on the
counter is great for releas-
ing negative energy and
helping to realign the per-
son. [At the start of a treat-
ment], lightly massaging
the feet with a piece of red
jasper would be very
grounding for the client
and allow them to achieve
the maximum benefits of
the treatment. Red jasper
carries a strong spiritual
grounding vibration and
resonates with the lower
chakras. The guests don’t
even need to know you
are doing this, but they
will feel the difference.
P: Once a spa has incorpo-
rated a few elements of
spirituality into their prac-
tice, what are the next
steps? How might they
deepen the spiritual element of their
services?
T: Therapists spend all day working
on clients with all sorts of different
energies, and it is very easy for them
to absorb all of the energies—usually
the bad ones—that the guest wants
to release. It is important for thera-
pists to ground themselves before
each treatment. Himalayan salt is a
great way of clearing energies from
both yourself and the guest. A foot
bath with Himalayan salts clears the
negative energy from a guest, too.
A therapist can quickly touch a
Himalayan salt lamp or stones at the
end of a treatment. Himalayan salt
promotes spiritual, emotional and
