‘It’s taken me a day or so to fully process the amazingness of the experience I’ve had at Spa Fest.
From initially thinking I was coming along to deliver the best facial treatments I could, in relatively short time slots, I’ve left having been inspired, moved beyond words and buoyed up by the love and compassion in that conference room.
To say this experience has been life changing, feels like an understatement.’
