People may be surprised to know…
I funded the spa 11 years ago on my credit cards!
What or who inspired you to start your business?
My father inspired me indirectly throughout my childhood. He moved here from Germany at 18, learned English and became a professional photographer. He has been working now for 40 years.
Who is your role model or mentor?
Dawn Gantt from Bioelements. Her wealth of aesthetic knowledge is awe-inspiring. My secret role model is Erica Gragg who founded Escape to Shape. She combines travel, fitness, culture and spa services and brings her guests to unique locations all over the world. She’s my hero!
What business mistake have you made that you will not repeat?
Bigger isn’t always better. A smaller, more controlled environment allows for better service, more creativity, superior therapists and refined hospitality.
How do you spend your free time?
I have two small children so most of my time is spent with them – going to the park, bowling, exploring Manhattan, going to the zoo, trying new restaurants and playing. If I’m on my own, I love hiking, getting pedicures, going to the movies, cooking, reading and wine tasting.
What is your indulgence?
When I think of indulgence, I think of two ways to enjoy life. The first is at the Plaza Hotel, drinking Krug Rose and enjoying caviar. The second would be a retreat with Escape to Shape.
Where is your favorite place to go with your girlfriends?
I love going to dinner at least once a month. We usually pick a tapas restaurant like Pipa to catch up with each other.
What do you CRAVE? In business? In life?
In business I CRAVE a well-balanced environment for my staff and clients that isn’t stagnant and is backed by honesty, loyalty and trust. In life, I CRAVE living life outside the lines with new cultures, adventure and always pushing my emotional and spiritual well-being for greater balance and wisdom.
