Satteva, a new internationally focussed spa and wellness consultancy, has launched, which is dedicated to delivering sustainable solutions.

The consultancy was founded by Sonee Singh, Bonnie Baker and Alondra

Saldarriaga who have experience in managing spa openings and operations for hospitality brands like Mandarin Oriental, Four Seasons Hotels, Elizabeth Arden Red Door Spas and the Hotel Matilda.

Bonnie Baker and Alondra Saldarriaga are based in Mexico, while Sonee Singh is based in the United States.

The initial focus of the consultancy will be in Mexico, Latin America and the United States.

Alondra Saldarriaga said that the biggest challenge facing the spa development and hospitality industry is talent based, “Our industry has grown at an incredible speed and we see a real lack of educational resources and training outside of North America. SATTEVA’s aim is to bridge that gap and deliver world class training and educational resources for each project”.

The word Satteva is a combination of Sanskrit and Latin words meaning the cultivated seed.

“The seed, or inspiration, fuels each of us and each project we work on,” says Sonee Singh, “We see the potential for life that exists within each tiny seed --and within each person or project”.
