Liz Galloway’s Summary
Ten years in the spa and wellness industry with an educational background in Business and Hospitality Management.I have worked and lived internationally as a trainer, consultant and wellness therapist. I continue work in business sequencing in Costa RIca and U.S., and am based in Barcelona Spain.
My focus is on marketing, and sale of concepts, along with concept summary development. As a professional speaker, and motivator, part of creative promotions include connecting owners of seminars, workshops and wellness getaways for spa professionals and their clients.
I've opened, and launched spa locations, and trained staff for new spa concepts management and spa buy/sell options, therapist career development, spa industry conference speaking, and presenting.
I've been invited to join the advisory and awards board for the International Medical Travel Conference, have presented at several spa and resort industry conferences, and have been published in various industry magazines, blogs, reports, and other media.
As an additional passion I am developing a prototype for spa and hospitality training software to access our virtual world.
