In episode fourteen of Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts sits down with Melanie Gleeson, the founder and CEO of Endota Spa.When Melanie opened the first Endota Spa in 2000, spas did not exist- in fact there were so few day spas in Australia that upon applying for a business permit, the local government thought Melanie was applying to open a brothel. Today, however, it is safe to say the holistic wellness movement has well and truly made it to the mainstream. Having been instilled with the ethos that we should respect ourselves, others, and the environment from an early age, Melanie has sat at the helm of Endota as it expanded 102 spas nationally and seen it become the largest spa network in Australia. In this conversation, Melanie shares just how she championed an entire wellness movement, the importance of supporting women in business and what she has done to turn the Endota Spa network into a community. You can read this interview now at: glowjournal.com/melanie-gleeson-endota-spaFollow Endota Spa on Instagram at @endotaspaStay up to date with Gemma on Instagram at @gemkwatts and @glow.journal, or get in touch at hello@gemkwatts.com Hosted on Acast.
