Today is an exciting day at M’lis. It is the first day of our newest adventure- our blog! Each of the Educators will be writing, as well as Dr. Linda Nelson, the founder of our company. We will also feature guest appearances by other members of our staff. At M’lis our mission is to realize our role as the absolute leader in holistic products, programs and education; and to achieve our goals by helping others to improve their lives while always providing honesty, integrity, value and the best service possible.

At M’lis we work with many types of businesses, from doctors offices to wellness centers to salons. A core group of our partners are made up of spas. The spa industry is an exciting field to be in, it is fast becoming a very important aspect of staying well. Below are a few trends from a press release by the International Spa Association, that we think fit well with the M’lis philosophy and our line of products and programs.
- Spa Lifestyles Equal Healthy Lifestyles – Eating nutritious food, exercising and relieving stress are critical in leading a healthy lifestyle, and spas are championing this effort by teaching these basic principles. In fact, 51 percent of U.S. spas offer educational programs and nutritional consultations, 40 percent offer healthy eating classes, 26 percent have educational offerings on obesity or weight gain issues and 17 percent offer exercise programs for children and teens.
- Corporate Wellness – Google was selected as Fortune’s No. 1 company to work for in 2007. Google is also a member of ISPA and offers on-site massages to its employees. According to the American Journal of Health Promotions, for every $1 spent on wellness programs, employers can expect a return of up to $10 through lower medical claims, reduced absenteeism, improved productivity and other factors. “A spa experience is the perfect way for employers to show their team that they care about their health and well-being,” added (ISPA President Lynne) McNees.
- Greening Grows – As 76 percent of U.S. spas apply environmentally sustainable practices, the spa community’s commitment to the environment is not a passing phase. On-site organic gardens; products made from locally-grown fruits, vegetables, herbs and plants; mineral makeup; and green building tactics are just a few of the ways that spa professionals are showing their commitment to the earth.
