Celebrating our Founder, Brea Gratia
We couldn't let our Anniversary and Women's History Month go by without honoring one of the most fabulous women we know, Brea Gratia! We all know Brea started Sanctuary Spa based on an inspiration from a London trip. We wanted to know more and share with y'all, so we sent her a few questions. We imagined her sitting in one of her many beautiful cabins in the mountains of Asheville writing us these wonderful responses. We hope you enjoy reading them as much as we did! What has inspired you most throughout your career? My imagination! And, the clients! Especially clients who traveled frequently.

Kim Bady's Journey to the Houston Marathon

Kim Bady's Journey to the Houston Marathon
The Chevron Houston Marathon is a big deal! Since 1972, this run has been inspiring Houstonians to take on new challenges and bring awareness to causes that matter to them. I admire all of the great athletes (33,000 of them!) that train for months leading up to the marathon to finish this great race. This year, our very own Kim Bady has trained extensively to participate in the 2019 Chevron Houston Half Marathon. Not only is she running, but she's running for a reason. The Run for a Reason Charity Program works with 64 nonprofit organizations. Last year, they raised over $1.8M! We are so proud of her. I sat down with Kim to ask her a few questions about her…
