A Consultancy in the Sun!
where all roads lead to a state called R-e-l-a-x
|

|

The spa industry is undergoing an unprecedented growing across the globe. More spas are opening each year, and many existing spas are expanding. This is happening more quickly than ever before, and the growth is accelerating. If you are a therapist, a coach, or a beauty specialist, the world of spas is wide open and waiting for you!

Consider, how special and unusual is the situation?

|
|
When you are working in a destination spa, your potential client is neither coming from the office, nor is he going to the office. He is not squeezing you in between high pressure activities. Spa resorts may allow children. Destination spas are child-free. A mother is neither rushing from the school run, nor is she rushing to collect her kids for the journey home or to take them to post-school activities. She is coming from a tai chi class to see you. Following your session, she is going to an abdominal exercise class, and then on for a massage. He is coming from a yoga class. After you he is going to the steam room, en route to a massage.

All roads lead to a state called R-e-l-a-x.

Relaxation and a balanced state of mind enhance every-thing. It is much easier to work therapeutically in all kinds of change work with guests who are relaxed throughout their entire being.
Guests are being conditioned to relax and to cleanse in so many different ways. They are being ‘relaxed’ as they progress from treatment to massage, and from massage to treatment, so that when a guest arrives for your session he is generally in a state of deep contentment and bliss. From my own perspective, I believe that between sessions guests maintain a state of relaxed receptivity, and are therefore more open to receiving, appreciating and valuing what you do. The ease with which guests glide into the state of hypnosis is comfortingly apparent to me, and I would anticipate equally as apparent to you and as conducive to the therapy you offer too. You are likely to find that against this background of ease and receptivity the effectiveness of your therapeutic discipline increases.
Guests too are guided by their in-ner sense of self and truth. Often the soul-sense finds expression. Stillness is a therapy all of its own.
The odds on your therapy bringing speedily tangible and superlatively positive results are stacked high. Potentially, you can achieve results in fewer sessions than would be needed ordinarily in a client’s everyday environment. As many of you know, the ‘clarity’ and the ‘insight’ continue to inform and to enfold at a subconscious level when the client leaves your consulting room, depending of course on the therapy involved.

"Deborah Marshall-Warren, author of A Consultancy in the Sun, a guide to working as a therapist, coach, or beauty specialist abroad, says the industry has a rosy future. 'The major hotel chains are all creating outlandishly luxurious spa environments, essentially modern day retreats,' she says. 'They're offering opportunities for therapists, coaches, beauty therapists, fitness motivators - people of all persuasions - to enjoy consultancy in the sun. There are fabulous opportunities for therapeutic specialists to expand their practice.' The world, it seems, is just sitting there waiting for aspiring health and beauty professionals to go out there and take it."

"This year my aim was to work and travel abroad. Your book 'A Consultancy in the Sun' has helped me tremendously to achieve this. I found the book to be a 'one-step solution' to gaining all the information I needed. This saved me so much valuable time. Your own experience and knowledge of working in spas has helped me feel very confident about my first trip before I've even left!"
Richard has won three upcoming consultancies in the sun -- in Thailand, the Maldives., and Vietnam.

"A Consultancy in the Sun! would prove a beneficial read and source of information for the following groups of people:
- Beginners of any spa course -- the book gives a good overview of the industry, describing types of spas, trends and the clientele. It also reaffirms what a spa is and how its concept has developed to focus upon total holistic well-being. Also provided is a list of the range of typical treatments offered and job positions necessary within a spa.
- Graduates of a spa course looking for a job role to go into -- this book provides graduates with other job role possibilities, with a focus on short-term consultancy overseas.
- Overseas workers -- provides potential and existing travelling workers with the necessary points they need to think about when working overseas including the requirements, visas etc. It can also help existing Consultants to more effectively manage and boost their business and profile with the outcome being a generation of income.
A Consultancy in the Sun! also tells a story of what it is like to live the life of a travelling Consultant particularly in the spa industry, what may be experienced -- advantages and difficulties, how to manage things and behave in a different cultural environment from your own.
A Consultancy in the Sun! is a very beneficial contribution to the published material of the spa industry as this field is an area of tremendous growth lacking in sufficient research material and published information. This book can also be of benefit to professionals of other industries wishing to work overseas as this becomes increasingly more common today as it is made easier for us to travel."

"If you've ever dreamed of exotic far-away places and thought that it couldn't become a reality for you to be there, think again, "A Consultancy in the Sun" is your golden ticket. Deborah's enthusiasm captures the magic of working in fabulous "in your dreams" locations so much so that I had to read the book in one sitting to find out how, when and where.
All I need to know and much more is here to create real possibilities for me to lead a life of luxury by taking my coaching practice to Health Spas around the world in the best locations. The world can literally be my oyster and this is a real pearl of a book. I feel like Deborah is holding my hand with love and guidance and her enthusiasm is inspiring me to say yes.
The know-how and how-to information is all here, contacts and links to connect you with the best people in the most perfect places.
This is such a complete gift of inspiration and opportunity, I can't wait to go.
