Editors are Calling & We Too Want to Know!
Call or email us a.s.a.p., magazines are requesting stories from us and you could be featured if we would know!
Many spas have formed alliances with local churches, shelters and other charity organizations to help those less fortunate on their way back into society. We will periodically highlight those members of The International Medical Spa Association that have taken this extra step and bring you their story and how they have been successful in sharing their strength with others to make them stronger too!! Spa Charities endorsed by the Day Spa Association & The Inernational Medical Spa Association include:
Weekend of Hope/Jim Leavy Fund
Melanoma Research Foundation
The Palisade Emergency Residence

It is with great sadness that we acknowledge the passing of Erica Miller. I am sure you have read and received many emails about this tragedy already. The Day Spa Association is in the progress of instituting the Erica Miller Scholarship Fund in her memory. As one of the greatest educators in the history of the Day Spa, we think such a scholarship will keep the memory of her work alive for many decades to come and help grow our successors. More details will be announced soon.
