It's not often I feel like blogging about an individual, but this is someone who has done something very special. When a very upset client told mum of two, www.spabreaks.com MD Abi Wright that some spas were turning away cancer sufferers for treatment, she knew she had to do something. First, she got angry then, she created Recovery Retreats.

As founder of Spabreaks.com she had all the resources to put her idea into action. So, she asked her most trusted and luxurious spas to create bespoke packages designed and dedicated to the comfort and well being of Cancer victims. The concept of “Recovery Retreats” is to avoid normal spa activities like Jacuzzi, sauna and steam room treatments, which stimulate the lymphatic condition, replacing them with complementary therapies such as walks in the woods, Reiki and indulgent lunches.

Abi now has a spa in each area which is fully supportive of her vision and is actively training staff and creating suitable treatment packages. She is also talking to various Cancer charities which share her belief in holistic care and dedicated retreats.

Recovery Retreats is an area of business that she is passionate about developing, so that all women with Cancer know they can relax and indulge in a spa without being turned away or treated any differently.

Under Abi’s stewardship, in just 3 years, spabreaks.com has achieved remarkable success, with a 200,000 + client base and a turnover of over £7 million. It is now Britain’s largest spa-booking agency, with over 400 dedicated spas and resorts across the UK. And Abi is still as modest and shy about this success story.
