1. “I want my clients to leave The
Chakra Spa with more than just
the feeling of being pampered …
the feeling of true relaxation.
You can be pampered at other
spas yet still feel stressed.”

2. THE CHAKRA SPA FOUNDER: LISA JULIEN
BIOGRAPHY
With over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, Lisa Julien –
the owner of The Chakra Spa - has learned the importance of taking
time for pampering and reflection.
Originally planning a career in esthetics and natural beauty, Lisa
attended school and graduated with honours. Despite her success, she
discovered that many of Toronto’s European-influenced spas were
reluctant to hire a woman of colour. Instead of internalizing the
negativity, Lisa found a way to rise above.
Lisa’s personal life has also challenged her to find inner strength. The
mother of four has survived an abusive relationship and a divorce in her
journey to self-acceptance. Through meditation and commitment, Lisa
was empowered to rebuild herself and chart a new path. With the
support of her family and mentor - Katy Hoffman - The Chakra Spa was
born.
The Chakra Spa is like a fifth child to Lisa, as she re-invested everything
she earned back into the spa. The warm, welcoming space reflects Lisa’s
own warmth, openness and creativity. Lisa created the spa as a retreat
from the glossy, impersonal perfection of some other spas; perfection
being an ideal that did not exist. From the curved walls to the soothing
music; from the peaceful decor to the earthy atmosphere, each detail
is designed to help women of all cultures, ages and experiences feel
nurtured, accepted and at peace with themselves.
Catering to average women and celebrities alike, The Chakra Spa prides
itself on the high level of comfort and privacy. The peaceful,
unpretentious vibe allows guests to let go and be themselves. All
clients enjoy the unparalleled service and personalized attention.
As Lisa has blossomed into a strong, confident woman, her spa has
blossomed into a successful, upscale business. The spa has been featured
in a major spa book, Positive Living, Echo, One Mind Channel and
countless beauty and fashion magazines. Through indulgent treatments
that nurture the mind, body and soul, the spa helps women embrace
their inner beauty and enhance their outer beauty while letting go of
guilt and stress.
Lisa and her staff are renowned for their knowledge of the body and
holistic therapies, making The Chakra Spa one of Toronto’s top-rated
spas.
