![]() We use every bit of the wood with no wastage – even the sawdust goes to local farmers. ![]() We own a factory in China – it’s the only way we can guarantee that we are dealing with 100 per cent FSC Forest woods. We do all our own sourcing, milling and manufacturing. Our message is that wood is a very precious commodity. Sustainability is one of our core missions. StrongLite is our brand for therapists and schools only, and Inner Strength is a budget line for students or the home wellness market. EarthLite is the biggest brand in the mid spa market and also supplies the training schools and independent therapists. Living Earth Crafts is our brand for the high-end resorts, hotels, casinos and retreats. We operate four spa equipment companies, and we’re in 160 countries worldwide, selling more than 45,000 massage tables a year Living Earth Craft and sister company EarthLite are the world’s largest spa furniture manufacturers. ![]() When I first transitioned to the spa/wellness industry, I also put myself through massage school and worked as a therapist so I could truly understand the operational issues at first hand. I’ve been involved in the designing, building and operating of spas for over 20 years, so I understand the problems from both sides. It can’t be seen when the table is draped, yet it’s very easy for the therapist to reach out with one hand and put the bolster into position when needed. We’ve created a lightweight metal bolster holder that sits underneath the massage table. So we’ve designed a very simple yet effective accessory to answer this problem. With these tables, traditionally therapists have had to use a bolster but there is no easy or convenient location to store them or keep them easily at hand. Our other product is targeted specifically at the smaller spas and chains, many of which opt for the pedestal or scissor-lift tables, because they are more economical and create more floor space than traditional cabinet tables. Its multiple heat settings are pre-adjusted for working with hot towels, a medium setting for stones, and a low setting for warming linens and robes. Currently, our drawer is able to mount in the side or fit at either end of a table. The multi-functional drawer is also available as a retrofit for any massage table. There’s no more dings or ticking timers, as we’ve included a built-in digital timer for 2, 4, 6 or 10 hours with automatic cut off. It has a complete digital control system, with temperature presets so there’s no worry about scalding anyone. We were not able to find an acceptable unit that existed for a spa’s needs, so we set out to build a custom-created system. It’s a handcrafted warmer that looks beautifully modern, and slides seamlessly under any of our massage tables. We’ve just launched an integrated hot warming drawer that can be used for hot towels or stones, or to warm spa linens. A crowded treatment room is something that really takes away from the experience element of the spa.Ī few years ago I started to study the trends happening in the home kitchen industry with all the clean lines and integrated cabinetry, and saw that I could create the same kind of integration with a massage table, with external components that slotted seamlessly in or underneath. They tend to have a look and a style that’s generations older.Įliminating the clutter and increasing functionality are two key aspects that we’ve been focused on at Living Earth Crafts. Simply making them in a different colour doesn’t really work, as they still stand out in a room, and often have to be right in the middle of the floor. So facilities end up with a room full of separate pieces of equipment and storage that don’t have any cohesiveness about them.įor example, stone warmers and hot towel warmers have traditionally been large unsightly units, often made from white plastic, that don’t fit into the kind of spa design that we’ve seen trending in recent years. One of the most frustrating aspects for operators is all the various components that have to be integrated into the treatments room, which are often already very challenged for space.
