The Spa Industry Association is supported across the Globe by our wonderful Sponsors and behind every company are real people, doing real work…we wouldn’t be able to support you our members, without their help.
Let’s meet a few of them!
Ryan Christopher:
Where do you live and what is a favorite travel destination?
I live in Atlanta, and have the pleasure of traveling regularly with COSMEDIX. One of my favorite travel destinations is Alberta, Canada. I visit all three Fairmont hotel properties nestled in the Canadian Rockies and enjoy the scenic road trip in between each of them. As much as I love the ocean lapping up on the beach, the mountain tops can be even more serene and grounding.
When I’m not working I’m spending time with family. My 7 year old godson keeps me running every weekend with basketball, baseball, cub scouts, and any other activity he can get his hands on!
I love being part of a team that makes a difference in people’s lives. A skincare brand like COSMEDIX can lift a client’s self esteem by correcting skin issues with their formulas. It can also improve a spa owners quality of life by providing a successful business partnership. Working to make a positive difference in anything is always worth it.
Rachel Sullivan:
I live in Atlanta, GA and I love to travel all over the world. I love exploring other cultures and trying new dishes and experiences. My favorite travel destination is the Caribbean because I love warm weather, relaxing on the beach and swimming in the pristine, crystal-blue waters.
I love kickboxing. It is great exercise that pushes me past my limits and keeps me in shape. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and pets!
