Love Thyself Day Spa is committed to having an ongoing presence in the local and national communities.  One of the ways in which we are involved is through our educational programs for life enhancement.  If you would like to request a public speaker from our spa, or if we can assist you as a team with any particular project or event, just contact our spa director for details and let us know what you have in mind.

2. To those who support us in our business, namely, charities that our clients are involved in.
