Testimonials
Working with Candy and her Spa Brunch podcast was a delight!
“Candy brought listeners into the magic and transformative experience of Golden Door Spa with her descriptive words, while asking pertinent questions that enabled the audience to understand the components of our program and the beauty of our property.
As a listener, I felt I was on a spa break with my best friend. Candy was fun and easy to collaborate with and came up with great ideas for us to continue our success as well! This was our first podcast and she made it enjoyable and connected us to a wider audience. I think this is an innovative & easy way to educate and inspire people to understand the destination spa experience.”
