Since 1978, Brea has continued to seek education in skin and body care from a holistic standpoint. In 2006, she received certification as a Doctor of Naturopathy. She and her staff believe we need to have an understanding of the systems of the body and how they relate to various conditions presented through the skin or by ill health. Since the industry, in general, has not focused on this root cause, Brea and her staff attend educational events regularly, hold in-house seminars, read, train and discuss their individual knowledge so that the client can be assured of a consistent quality of work, no matter who performs the service. Each technician, as well as Brea, confers with each other, sharing knowledge and experiences, which greatly enriches their work.

SKILL CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS

All new technicians are skill certified by Brea before they can perform services.  Our style and techniques are so different that not one technician can start performing services at Sanctuary just because they have done them at other spas.  Our training program consists of a discussion to understand the philosophy of the specific treatment, the technician receives the service, then performs the service to the best of their ability, a review and critique is made, they receive the service again and then perform the service with another critique.  Practice if necessary for several weeks to months may be necessary until they have been tested by practical and verbal exams to ensure they have a complete understanding of the service they will perform on you.  This is a lot of work when you consider the size of our service menu.
