GUEST Program Primary Logo-

The IAMI GUEST Spa Management Program is designed to assist professionally trained Beauty Therapists who work onboard a yacht, whether in a dual role or specifically as the onboard beauty therapist.

Being an onboard beauty therapist at sea entails certain distinctive aspects that set it apart from the more conventional roles found in shore-based Hotel Spas or Private Spas.
