Supporting Estheticians Around the Globe

I recently went on vacation to the Beqa Island in Fiji, where I spent my days writing, reading, snorkeling, swimming and most importantly – spa’ing. As someone who has spent her career on the giving end of pampering spa treatments, I always jump at the chance to be on the receiving end and this usually occurs when I travel. When I got to the resort, I immediately signed up for daily 90-minute massages (hot stone is my favorite).

So when I was having my massage, I got to talking with the therapist about her profession, only to be surprised that in Fiji, there is no formal licensing or training as there is in the U.S.  and most of Europe. She told me that she performs both massage and facials and her manager was the one who trained her.

So as part of my lifelong mission to educate, empower and inspire women (read about my South African mentee), I offered to do a mini skin care class for her and any others who were interested. She was ecstatic…

The next day, I spent an hour with Liata and Filo teaching them how to do safe and gentle extractions (since cleansing of the pores is an important part of a facial) as well as sharing various skin care tips and advice they can pass on to their clients. They just soaked it all up and loved it and I was thrilled to do it.

I will always support women (and certainly my fellow estheticians) around the globe. The desire to learn and grow as individuals has no boundaries.
