ispa has memBers located all around the World who have
undoubtedly visited some pretty unique destinations. However, there
can’t be many who have set foot in Antarctica like Mandy Warr, owner
and founder of The remedy Day Spa.
“About a year and a half ago, my brother and i went to Antarctica,”
remembers Mandy. “We spent Christmas in Chile and then took a boat
with a team of marine scientists from the southern tip of Argentina to
Antarctica. it was amazing! So many beautiful, untouched places.”
With 18 years in the spa industry, Mandy’s driven, creative nature
has led her from working in software to owning her own spa.
“i went to massage school at The New Mexico School of Natural
Therapeutics and i finished my undergraduate degree at the
University of New Mexico. i started out as a massage therapist and
worked in all variety of spas from mom and pop day spas to five-star
luxury resort spas.
“i am passionate about wellness, luxury
and community and really found the
amazing combination of all of them
when i opened The remedy, which is
the proudest accomplishment of my
life. i’m so grateful every day that i
have been able to open and maintain
this amazing place!”
Mandy loves traveling as much as she
can, especially to visit other spas as part of
her job. For exercise, she enjoys rock climbing
and relieves stress by sitting in hot water—whether that
be in hot springs, hot tubs or Japanese baths! She is also committed
to giving back to her hometown community in creative and impactful
ways:
“i serve on the board of a local non-profit here in my home town
of Albuquerque, called KeepitQuerque. it’s an organization dedicated
to supporting and promoting local businesses and championing the
Shop Local movement. i know firsthand what an impact it makes
when people make the effort to put their dollars back into the local
economy.” n
