The coverage gap most often missed
The gap most often missed by detox spas is coverage for what the program does to the client's body. Some spa policies are written for massage and facials, not fasting, enemas, or supplement protocols, and a client who should never have been fasting can suffer kidney or heart problems. Confirm every program is a covered service, screen out high-risk clients in writing, and keep health and weight-loss claims off your marketing.
