Alma Natural Spa

About Alma Natural Spa

THE ALMA CONCEPT The concept for Alma was developed while I was living in New York City. Between commuting, working all the time, and simultaneously going to school for my MBA, I was very short on time. The one thing I made time for, besides occasionally working out and Friday night dinner, was a bi-weekly pedicure at my neighborhood nail salon. That was a 45 minute oasis in my hectic schedule where I could relax, decompress, and feel better about myself. But of course with a crazy schedule it had to be on my terms - when I was available, with no appointment and no wait. While my neighborhood salon left a lot to be desired - questionable cleanliness, harsh fumes, and a mediocre atmosphere - they did do a great job on my feet and they knew me so it felt comfortable and inviting to an extent. One day it hit me that there had to be a better way to provide everyone their own 45 minute oasis in a way that was safe, non-toxic, relaxing, unpretentious, fun, with great customer service. For a while now, I've had some interest in starting my own business, so I did some research to see what was out there in terms of products and spa offerings and found a big gap. I became passionate about finding a way to create what I felt was missing and since moving to Toronto, I've worked to create this oasis called Alma.
