Meet The Spa Team

Anna – Spa & Leisure Club Operations Manager

I studied Beauty Therapy at Cork College of Commerce where I completed CIBTAC and ITEC with honours. I have over 15 years of experience in the Beauty Industry. I started my career with Clinique where I learned excellent customer service and selling techniques. After 5 years I continued my career with Clarins where I was practising facials and Beauty Treatments. My next new endeavour was an unforgettable experience in Andalusia where I had the pleasure to work in an incredible Beauty Salon with experienced Therapists and make-up artist. When I relocated back to Ireland my destiny took me to Kinsale where I was offered a role as a Spa Therapist then progressing to become Spa Manager.

After one successful year in the Spa my role expanded and now, I am privileged to work as a Spa & Leisure Club Operations Manager. This dynamic position is incredibly varied and every day is different which matches my energetic personality. Working in the new role is giving me opportunity to combine our Spa and Leisure Club into one department and ensure customer expectations are met and exceeded and business targets are delivered.

I am an open and honest person who treats other people with respect, I am also a very good listener which I feel is essential in my role. As a Spa Manager I am committed to help my therapists to grow and glow, train them and enhance their best qualities working alongside them. I focus on delivering an amazing customer experience, career growth, opportunities and an environment where my team can develop their own strengths. I ensure that all guests enjoy a truly exceptional spa time by providing a luxurious experience, going above and beyond and inspiring the team to do the same.

As a lifelong learner I constantly update my skills and knowledge. This helps me to develop both personally and professionally. It open doors to new opportunities and helps me to achieve my full potential.

When I am not in the Spa, I love spending time with my wonderful family. I love travelling, camping, reading, learning new languages and being the best version of myself.

I am very helpful and energetic, making our clients feel welcome and happy during their time with us. I have a passion for internal design which gives me a good eye for decorating.

After work I love spending time with my family, playing tennis and walking my dog.

Andy Spa Therapist

Hi, I am Andrea I studied Anatomy and general Naturopathy, where I specialised as an Ear Acupuncture Addiction Therapist. I was introduced to the basics of Chinese Medicine, which completely captivated me, then learned Acupressure Meridian Massage under the mentorship of a Chinese doctor. These methods of Chinese Medicine activate the body's self-healing mechanisms by starting to harmonise the life energy circulating in the meridians. I was impressed with the results of my treatments, which I tried on myself for the first time and they proved to be very effective. I knew then that my path was to help others.

I also learned Ayurvedic Massage, Dermato-Vacuum Reflexology, Japanese Face Massage, Swedish Massage and Zen Shiatsu where I also use acupressure and the technique of soft mobility.

I'm committed to a healthy lifestyle, which is illustrated by the fact that I've been playing sport all my life. I have been practicing Yoga since 2014 and meditation is also an integral part of my life. In the last couple of years I became Sound Therapist and Sound Bath Master and Women Yoga Teacher.

As a naturopath and movement therapist, I believe that when we are out of balance, we need to look for the root causes and treat the mind-body-spirit combination.

My first Spa work experience started in a 5-star hotel in Greece. Here I was able to complement my knowledge with facial treatments. Then I found the opportunity to work in the fascinating Kinsale Hotel & Spa.

Outside of work I am very active but I also take time to relax. I love to explore new places, travelling, doing yoga, swimming, reading and cooking. I love to learn, I am constantly improving my skills.

Elizabeth Spa Therapist

I am a Spa Therapist at the beautiful Kinsale Hotel & Spa, with ITEC qualifications. I am a passionate and motivated individual who believes that the key to evolving is in investing in yourself and your progression.

As a spa therapist I believe a key factor in the client experience is in putting your guest at ease, by creating a relaxing, welcoming atmosphere. I love every aspect of being a spa therapist which allows me to fully immerse myself in the client’s requirements on the day, taking care of every detail which also enables me to pass on advice on skincare routines etc. as each client has their own unique requirements and energy levels.

In my private time my passion is in continuing my own personal growth, I like to upgrade my skills in beauty and wellbeing and enjoy meditation as a way of relaxation.
