Created Spa Travel from a passion and respect for travel, culture and tradition combined with understanding of the importance touch can provide an individual.  Inspired by glorious years of travelling visiting hot springs in the Himalayas, smothering her body in muds in Turkey and bathing in termes in Tuscany, she now resides in the beautiful coastal town of Barwon Heads. Practices meditation, yoga and has great pleasure in researching and creating Spa Travel packages and giving people the opportunity to experience the amazing world of spa and travel.
