Hello,

My name is Karen Marshall, I have over 30 years Spa and Wellness experience. I was formally trained and qualified in the UK during the 1990's. I achieved BTEC and International CIBTAC qualifications. covering Spa Management and Treatments, basically I am an all round spa therapist, skilled in the most basic to advanced esthetics services and the full spectrum of bodywork - everything you would expect from a top tier spa professional.

I know my way around any spa and adapt to client goals and needs. It started with exercise! I  qualified as a exercise and personal trainer in my 20's, a hobby business that ran alongside my media career. I soon realized that the wellness industry is my tribe. I quit corporate work and trained at Clarendon College, Nottingham, the UK's top spa college. Aged 40 I moved to the US - Telluride, then launched my spa studio on Main Street. Starting again and unknown! I was a big deal in England, and it took more than a minute in Telluride, but as soon as word spread about my top tier skills I started to build a following among second home owners and visitors. I achieved my big spa ambitions as young Karen, so here in Telluride as I approach my 60s, my goals are ease, travel and supporting my Actress daughter and teen son.

I stay up to date, remaining focused on quality services and great client experiences.. I can back engineer the latest facial fad - it's never new, it's just new branding and a marketing spin on an existing old idea! I am sincere in my work, I do not run a conveyor belt of superficial services, I have time for you, this is why I have few openings for new clients. I am detailed, consistent and reliable. I only work with the highest quality products, my technique is unique, an unmatched combination of all that I have learned over 30 years, from my elite spa college education, and training, with premium luxury global skin and body care brands. 

As with every Telluride story, the San Juans drew me here. My reviews, certificates and portfolio tell the story of my spa journey, character and professionalism, the rest will be fun for you to hear!
