Being the MoSista this Movember

Posted on by Philippa Abbott

Cancer – A word that will scare anyone. The month of November is dedicated to the men of our nation that are threatened with prostrate and testicular cancer. The Movember cause aims at putting a fun twist on creating awareness for very serious conditions that men around the world are diagnosed with on a daily basis.

I can’t grow my own Missoutache so how can I get involved? – If it is just for the love of the moustaches or not, you can also get involved in the cause, as MoSistas:

  • Support the men in your life – Encourage them to get involved in the cause whether it be your significant other or your dad or even your boss.
  • Promoting the importance of men’s health – 1 in 6 South African men will be diagnosed with cancer during their lives. Regular checks are so important!
  • Raising awareness and funds – Share any Movember news or events on all your social networks to create awareness of the cause.
  • Wearing an awesome Movember bracelet for the month of November to show to your support. You might not be able to grow your own moustache but you can definitely accessorise with one.

I qualified as a Somatologist in JHB in 2001. I began my career in the spa industry working on cruise ships for Steiner Transocean. I furthered my studies on my return to SA qualifying in advanced make up and special effects. I then moved to London where I worked in 2 of the most prestigious spas. I acquired knowledge in all aspects if the spa business and moved quickly from hands on therapy to part of the management team. When I finally came back to South Africa to settle for good I joined the management team of the Spas of Distinction where I grew my skill set even further and established a professional network throughout the South African Spa Industry. It is here where my roots are now deep seated and where I will remain for good. I started Spa Sense in 2010 and we have grown from strength to strength every year since then; forming key relationships with all the industry specialists. I head up the consultancy division of Spa Sense and run many of our training courses including Front Office, SOPs and Spa Sales and Retail. I also oversee our recruitment division making sure that all my clients and candidates expectations are always exceeded by the level service they receive from my team. I am incredibly passionate about what I do and hope I remain blessed enough to be in this exciting industry forever. This blog is a place I can share my views and experience so I hope you enjoy the articles and find them useful enough to use in your business.
