Today homeopathy is the second most widely used system of medicine in the world. Traditional or conventional medicine (most common in the US) is fourth worldwide. However, in the US, until recently, homeopathy had remained relatively unknown and often thought of as alternative. Sprayology was founded to change that and to bring natural and effective options for daily vibrant health to mainstream America and beyond. The world has changed and it is important to think back 10 years to see these changes. Ten years ago prescription medicines marketed on TV were not required to disclose potential side effects, stress was not commonly accepted as a health risk, retreating to a spa was considered just a luxury and not preventative and natural products could only be found in health food retail locations. Today's consumer needs have changed all of this, and at Sprayology we are doing our part to help guide wellness in a sensible and healthy direction. Sprayology was founded over ten years ago because of the needs of its founders who were dealing with physical disillusionment, aging, illness and a lack of natural options to help them live better. Founding sisters Patti Connell and Ellie Whalen believed at the core they were healthy, but were both taking multiple conventional medicines daily to deal with asthma, fatigue and stress.  These experiences and their desire to modernize homeopathy led to the foundation of Sprayology. 00:17:00Melinda MintonnoSprayology,Melinda Minton,The Spa Association,SPAA,wellnessWant to relax, refresh or balance your mood?

In 1989 when Cici Coffee and Patti Beggs founded Natural Body, hardly anyone had heard of, let alone been to a “day spa.” Up to that time, spas were generally considered luxury escapes for the rich and famous, and few men or women had the opportunity to experience the healing of body work or the rejuvenation of professional skin care.” But when they added a day spa to their highly successful natural products company, they joined an innovative group of spa operators that led nothing short of a wellness revolution. The growth of day spas launched a revolution in health, beauty and wellness that has inspired men and women around the world to care for their bodies and their inner-selves in a whole new way. Natural Body continues to be a leader in the spa community, striving to provide the highest quality services in the most inviting environments. In addition to its award-winning services and successful body care retail, Natural Body launched the popular new 10Ten Nail Bars where guests receive mani and pedi treatments in a unique spa atmosphere.   00:26:00Melinda MintonnoNatural Body,Melinda Minton,spa,Cici Coffee,nail barJoin SPAA Executive Director Melinda Minton as she speaks with Cici Coffee, founder of Natural Body and 10 Ten Nail Bar.
