The Spa at Sea Island, a Forbes Five-Star coastal resort in Georgia, US, is under new leadership, with Cecilia Hercik as the new director of spa and wellness.

Hercik told Spa Business her new position involves bringing the most innovative spa and wellness treatments to the 65,000sq ft luxury spa and fitness facility, while incorporating the unique aspects of the host culture and island community in an authentic and respectful manner.

“The energy of this magical place makes Sea Island an ideal place for living in the moment and reconnecting with nature,” she said.

“I’m privileged to join a masterful spa team that has an incredible reputation and impressive achievements.”

Hercik’s career in the spa industry has spanned nearly 25 years and included corporate spa roles at Miraval, Ritz-Carlton, Four Seasons, Aveda-Neill and WTS International.

In 2013, Hercik drew on her breadth of international and national experience and launched her own spa and wellness consultancy called C Spa Consulting.
