WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT WORKING AT SPARK body & soul?
My favorite thing about working at SPARK body & soul is the energy I feel the moment I walk inside. I immediately have a sense of calmness and serenity, with the right energy to give my clients my best effort, and to transmit that energy through my touch. I love that I get an opportunity to connect with strangers, make them my friends, and help them both physically and mentally.

Relaxed, fun and personal.
HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR JOB AT SPARK body & soul TO OTHER PEOPLE?
I work at a place where every client feels at home, where each client is attended to with personal discretion and attention. Asher and Ruthie treat their clients like old friends and I think that’s why people love coming. I can personally testify the treatments are sensational!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING?
I love reading, reading and acting out books with my young son, exercising, and hanging out with friends.
SHLOMTZIONS SPARKLING RECOMMENDATION:
First off, take care of yourself! No one can do that for you, so take the time to ensure you’re feeling good physically, and it’ll do wonders for your mental state. And most importantly… Don’t stress too much! When you feel overwhelmed and out of depth in a situation, stop worrying, breathe deeply, and remind yourself that you’re not in control – as much as you’d like to be. Sometimes we just have to throw up our hands, give credit to ourselves for doing our best, and leave the rest up to G-d.

WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT WORKING AT SPARK body & soul?
SPARK’s philosophy is to approach skin care from a natural perspective. From the ingredients we use, to the facial massage we give, everything is intended to make you feel like you are glowing from inside and out. It is a unique approach to skin care that has such variety and adaptability.
IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE WORKING AT SPARK body & soul IN THREE WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
Nature. Zen. Professional.
HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR JOB AT SPARK body & soul TO OTHER PEOPLE?
My job as an Esthetician is to help improve the appearance and health of each client’s skin. Beyond that, my job is to give clients the tools to feel confident about their skin’s health. The environment at SPARK allows my clients to leave their stress at the door knowing they are coming to a safe space of relaxation and self-health. Everyone has different skin care needs. I educate each client according to their unique needs.
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING?
When I’m not working, I am spending time with my other half, and with friends. I am learning to cook. I also enjoy learning more about my field by watching videos and such. I am an artistic person so sometimes I draw or write.
MIMI’S SPARKLING RECOMMENDATION:
-Your skin care journey takes time. It’s important to give it the time it needs. You are lovely as you are.
-You may feel lovelier wherever the journey takes you. It’s a unique journey that is purely yours. It is a process.
-Educating yourself about skin care and health is important. Know what ingredients you put on your skin. Some times less can be more. As someone who struggles with acne, putting every acne product I could find on my skin at once was not the best approach to caring for my skin. I learned later that it is about using what is right for me and my skin type, verses what the big companies say is right for all acne.
-Establish a daily routine and instead of viewing it as a chore, view it as “your time”. Your skin’s health is important because you are important.
Yael
Certified Massage Therapist at SPARK body & soul
Offering: Swedish, Deep Tissue and Remedial Sports Massage.
Yael graduated & received her certification in Swedish and Deep Tissue Massage from Maayanot, Jerusalem. She also studied Body and Soul Health at Elima, Jerusalem.
WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE THING ABOUT WORKING AT SPARK body & soul?
Definitely the overall energy, it begins with the place itself and the people that you work with, which automatically attracts the best customers.
IF YOU COULD DESCRIBE WORKING AT SPARK body & soul IN THREE WORDS, WHAT WOULD THEY BE?
Relaxing, rewarding and fun!
WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO WHEN YOU’RE NOT WORKING?
I studied photography, and I enjoy expressing my creative side.
YAEL’S SPARKLING RECOMMENDATION:
I can sincerely and enthusiastically recommend SPARK because before I worked there I was a client!
I think that there are many places that offer a good massage, and it works for them, but not many places can give you the full package deal of having the whole experience that comes with the massage.
The way that SPARK treats their clients makes each one feel as if they’re the only client that exists, and that their needs are the most important.
I think that the way to know if you found a good place is if your 10th treatment feels like your first treatment; I can definitely say that the 10th treatment at SPARK may even be better than the first.
