Renew - May/June 2008 - (Page 28) boom baby When spa director Tessa Kienow noticed a glowing, growing clientele of mothers-to-be at Little Palm Island Resort and Spa in the Florida Keys, she created a menu targeting that market segment. These women were not doing much snorkeling or fishing like other guests, nor could they have cocktails, so the spa would become a major source of activity. “We were trying to fit our services to the needs of our pregnant clients, and that didn’t really work,” recalls Kienow, whose spa caters primarily to the vacationing occupants of about 30 bungalow suites on the resort’s property. “At such an important threshold in a woman’s life, especially if this is her last vacation without a baby, I felt it was important to offer her appropriate services. Not every pregnant woman wants an ordinary body treatment or can stand to have her belly touched. Our menu wasn’t genuine for these women.” 28 destination: relaxation Deciding to learn everything about pregnancy, Kienow studied the inner workings of the mother’s body and how to perform appropriate spa services. As a result, about a year ago she hired a doula—a licensed maternity specialist—and the spa now lists 17 treatments for expectant moms. “Guests are really celebrating and embracing this,” Kienow reports. “People thank us. Before they come, they often have no idea that we offer this specialty.” As Kienow discovered, a distinction between pregnant and non-pregnant women can be welcome news to the maternity client and a solution for nine months of evolving needs. Between her expanding girth, changing skin and sudden mood swings, the pregnant woman can feel like a stranger in her own body. That alone is stressful. “It’s obvious that pregnant women need massages!” says Annee Ingala, co-owner and manager at Zenana Spa and renewprofessional.com may/june 2008 http://renewprofessional.com
