Mental & Emotional Wellness are key for our future and for the next generation when it comes to picking the schools & salon/spa they will go to. Be some of the first to bring a wellness program into your school OR salon/spa culture. Be a part of the new wave of leaders that is bridging the gap between the human and the craft. Be a brand that stands for the success and wellbeing of the beauty/wellness professional.
When creating The Vitality Project we knew we had to address this problem of mental, emotional, spiritual and physical health in our industry in a way that would be heart, head and hands on.
In order to do this in a way that will change the entire industry we had to make this product support our teachers as much as it supports our students. We know having this in schools is where we can create real change for the future of our industry.
We also know that we want our students to have like minded salons to go work at & that burnout is an issue that is riddling our industry & leading to careers that aren’t sustainable. It doesn’t have to be this way! With the right tools- this is one of the most abundant career paths.
We have an entire community of heart centered beauty leaders & salon/spa owners - so we knew we had to create this product to support not just our stylists, barbers, estheticians and nail technicians but the owners leading these teams. Nowadays having a wellness program is becoming the new status quo- this is a tool that will allow all salons/spa to offer this to their teams & employees.
all Vitality Project schools, salons & spas will be proudly listed on a directory
This tool for salons will be bridging the gap between school and salon and truly allow our industry to have a bright and sustainable future.

We worked to create a product that is FLEXIBLE and INTUITIVE. We have a standard of excellence and a success path we highly highly recommend but the product is flexible in the sense that you can plug this in for distance learning or in person learning & you can move around modules depending on how it best fits your school structure or for salon/spa how you do your meetings & team gatherings.
We give you an entire rubric and a AT A GLANCE sheet that shows you how to plug in the done for you lesson & activities. You can use your teachers or owners wellness guidebook to know the exact time amount you will need.
This program has 5 main sections but 14 individual lessons that are about 30 min- one hour each . Each lesson comes complete with a short video, lesson plan, activity, chat room prompts & access to the Vitality Project on Demand library & teacher OR salon/spa owner training.

Since you are reading this I have a feeling you are either a very heart centric leader OR you are having some challenges with leading your team and looking to create a culture and change that will have long term results. Welcome!
The same curriculum we built for schools- we created a salon/spa owner version for you. You will be given 2 portals, one for your staff and one for you! Your staff will also be granted access to a private audio library that appears like a secret podcast on their Apple or Spotify that has an On Demand Vitality Project library of tools to help with stress management, emotional regulation, mindset, staying focused, better sleep and energy levels! This is something you are gifting to them to have ALL the time.
You will be granted a step by step owner guide that walks you through ways to cultivate leadership, team work and vitality within your employees. Things that you can use in meetings, workshops, team trainings or company retreats. All you have to do is PRESS PLAY and follow the lesson plan we have laid out for you.
We also have tools that show you how to do team assessments, coaching check in's, meetings, keep your team motivated to hit goals, unify your team with the mission of the salon, better communication and increase loyalty, productivity, motivation and profits.
We also have a private community for owners where we will be doing quarterly leadership roundtables for owners to come together and receive support with utilizing Vitality Project . This is created to be EASY and simple to plug in! The work load won't be more- just being more intentional about the time you do spend and invest in your team in a way that will have an ROI in all ways & create sustainable & heart centered growth.

The research is in and we know that there is a direct connection between wealth and wellbeing. We know that the VITALITY of the humans in our organizations is directly tied to their productivity, satisfaction and longevity in their career.
Often schools, salons & spas don't realize that problems they are having such as workplace conflict, burn out, communication challenges, loyalty, turn over, lower productivity is all coming back to how you are creating a culture within your company. One of my favorite sayings is "nothing is common sense- you must make it common knowledge" - as a leader it is your job to create the culture and foster that culture. The culture of your company is directly tied to your success.
