Offering wellness unfiltered, The Spa Side by Marie Adele is an industry blog to challenge and guide us all. Media enquires welcome.

I’ve long believed that “Creativity drives success I’ve long believed that “Creativity drives success.” But these days I wonder, does it?

While there’s truth to it, my experience in spa, wellness, and hospitality has proven one vital lesson. Creativity may ignite a spark, but sound business principles sustain the flame. 

Business isn’t just about big ideas or eye-catching aesthetics—it’s about turning those ideas into consistent results. 

👉 ON THE BLOG - Read what I think is just as, if not more important than, creativity for success in the spa and wellness space. Link in bio.

What do you think? Is our industry getting this balance of creativity and business right? I’d love to hear your experience.

Who is really leading the impressive numbers being Who is really leading the impressive numbers being spruiked in the wellness industry? 

Grand View Research forecasts the Australian wellness market to reach approximately AUD $46 billion by 2030.

But let’s step away from the headlines and ask a more meaningful question:

What actually signals leadership in wellness today?

Head to The Spa Side website for what I see — not through trends, but through patterns, performance, and lived experience.

Who do you feel are the leaders in the industry?

There’s a quiet moment in every consultant’s life There’s a quiet moment in every consultant’s life when you realise you’ve spent years building other people’s dreams — and somewhere along the way, your own slipped out of view.

For me, that moment arrived between airports, deadlines, and “urgent” calls about tile selections. I was managing multimillion-dollar spa projects across continents, creating spaces designed to slow the world down — while my own life moved at full speed.

The irony wasn’t lost on me. I was designing wellness whilst quietly losing my own.

And so that’s where The Spa Side begins....

My story. My perspective. My unapologetic take on the business of calm. Because if we rethink how we rest, we might just change how we live.

For more than three decades, I’ve watched the spa For more than three decades, I’ve watched the spa and wellness industry evolve — sometimes forward, sometimes in circles.

I’ve led hotel teams, opened spas across continents, and walked more half-finished corridors in steel-capped boots than I can count.

And yet, for all the luxury branding, for all the talk of “wellness,” something fundamental has gone missing in our industry.

If you want to build a business that lasts, wellness must be embedded - read more on The Spa Side, where I dare to disrupt.

Wellness unfiltered, join the conversation.
