endota spa is a haven for Australian women and one of our country’s best-loved brands. The endota spa story began in 2000 when Founder and CEO Melanie Gleeson pursued a hunch that relaxation and mindfulness would become more important in peoples’ lives. This early insight and the unstoppable wellness boom has made Melanie one of our most successful female entrepreneurs and endota spa the largest day spa network and wellness provider in the country. Today the business has over 100 locations throughout Australia and employs over 1000 people; 90% of them women. The first day spa on Australia’s Mornington Peninsula, paved the way for a spa treatment to be considered a wellness priority, rather than a simple treat. The peninsula’s beautiful, natural environment was the guiding inspiration. The infinite power of nature to heal became embodied in our spas, our products and our organic treatments. endota spa offers women a mindful escape from the stresses of everyday life and gives us the chance to make self-care a priority, with beautiful face and body products that stay true to the idea that what we put on our skin is as important as what we put in our bodies. From spa design and fit-out to the recruitment of employees and the selection of franchisees, endota considers personal wellbeing and our innate connection to nature in every aspect of business. Strong underlying values guide decision making and link the endota network of spas together, forming a community of inspiring, like-minded people, all connected by the belief that in order to look good on the outside, you first have to feel well on the inside. ‘endota’ is an indigenous word meaning ‘beautiful’. As an enduring symbol of the brand, the Malachite stone is known for its powers of transformation, spiritual growth and healing. Acknowledging this connection, between beauty and wellbeing, is at the heart of what we do.
