Hi, I'm Gael Wood

Founder of Massage and Spa Success

This is my Story

I am a massage and spa professional with 30 years of experience. I graduated from massage school at 19 and opened a day spa and therapeutic massage center in 2003, which I ran for 6 years. I have also worked in various settings, including client homes, resorts, and spas.

In 2013, I launched my first online business, which I managed alongside my career as a massage therapist. As the online business began to take off, I decided to retire from hands-on massage work in 2016 and concentrate on using my extensive knowledge and experience to create tailored training, coaching materials, and courses for estheticians, as well as massage and spa professionals.

I am the co-host and co-founder of the Global Wellness Professionals Marketing Summits and the Work Freedom Summit. I have also hosted the Massage and Spa Success Summits and resource bundles for several years, bringing industry leaders together for high-value interactive events. I was honored to be inducted into the World Massage Hall of Fame and was featured as a Massage Magazine All-Star in 2019.

Since reducing my hands-on massage work and concentrating on my online businesses, I have been prolific with my creativity. To date, I have created over 60 successful online courses, launched popular Massage and Spa Marketing Content Clubs, written and self-published more than 15 eBooks, and created a library of invaluable resources for massage, beauty, and spa professionals, such as the popular Massage and Spa Resource Bundles.

I have always been fascinated by Feng Shui, which led me to study at the International Feng Shui School. In 2019, I gained certification in feng shui, enabling me to conduct consultations as another part of my business.

I have since trained in coaching through The Life Coach School and am Coaching Tools Certified.

Most recently, I created the Massage and Spa Success Club, a program for massage and spa therapists ready to make more money and create their dream business!

I’m happiest in creator mode, finding new course ideas, marketing content, and books. I am constantly inspired to create courses and templates and continue to launch new ideas. I love to educate myself and discover new ideas, learning as much as possible through reading books, doing online research, and studying online classes and programs to boost my knowledge.

My one wish is that what I do can inspire others, and I aim to help as many people as possible thrive with my courses, books, and programs.

I live in Boone, North Carolina, with my husband, Dave, and son Santino. I also have an older daughter, Grace.
