Hi, I’m Emily, her/she/cat,
I am the founder of Spa Research,
this is my pet snail and that’s my ride.

My Story

I used to work at a spa, several actually, I enjoyed the comforting and peaceful environment, the benefits of the spa itself, and seeing clients transform from the rush of society to a tranquil demeanor.

While I worked at a sensory deprivation float spa, I got a creative degree and focused on pushing myself to conquer the competitive career path. This pursuit damaged my mind and body and exasperated my underlying Crohn’s disease. It wasn’t until my body had had enough, threw me into a downward spiral of depression, self-doubt, pain, and anxiety, that I turned to meditation.

Quality time with my mind, little by little helped clear the clutter of negative influences, and listen to my personal truth. I started researching relaxing ways to cope with chronic pain and the spa environment provided an ideal foundation for personal growth. Since 2022, my research has blossomed from a blog to pursuits in specialized certifications to uplift me toward my personal goals.

I want to thank you for taking the time to browse my site, follow your gut on aspects that might help you relax, and maybe come back soon because I’m constantly updating for my readers.

Best Wishes,
