Meet our therapists - Alet and Fiona

Alet

Originally from South Africa, Alet has been a therapist at La Serena Spa for two years. Her passion is facials as she is highly knowledgeable in Skin Analysis.

She has a passion for cooking and is always trying to learn more. She learned to cook Thai food while living in Thailand teaching English for four months in 2008. An avid traveler, Alet has been to 13 countries in the past four years and looks forward to her next trip to the Galápagos Islands.

When she is not in the Spa she loves to be outdoors relaxing on Bermuda's beautiful beaches or on her boyfriend's boat. She often goes swimming with the Tiger Sharks during the summer.

As summer is coming to an end, Alet recommends you try the Tri-Enzyme Facial. It will help to get rid of the skin build up and pigmentation by smoothing out your skin for an amazing healthy glow.

Fiona

Bermudian therapist Fiona joined our spa team in April 2011. She is originally a marine biologist after finishing her Masters degree in Fisheries Ecology in Wales.

While in Wales she took a course in Aromatherapy and Reflexology. She loved it so much she undertook further training in England and France expanding her knowledge base by learning about new treatments such as Reiki, Massage, Nutrition, Emotrance and Hot stones. She knew she had found her calling so she swapped careers — from fish back to people.

With more than 19 years of spa experience, Fiona brings a holistic approach to all her treatments. One treatment she is passionate about is Reflexology — an ancient and powerful treatment which uses massage and applying gentle pressure to reflex points on the feet. Fiona has seen so many great results over the years with reflexology bringing benefits in relieving stress-related disorders as well as hormonal imbalances, infertility, irritable bowl, back pain, headaches and improving energy levels. Reiki is another favorite as it, along with reflexology, can help you change old patterns and find inner balance and vitality.

Fiona also loves raw food cuisine and has worked on several detox retreats. Look for future holistic tips and raw food recipes from Fiona on our Facebook page.
