Rachel Stacy, Spa Director, came to San Diego in 2003 after growing up in Los Angeles. She received her Associates Degree from Mira Costa College in 2003. From there continued her education at CSU San Marcos with a goal of obtaining a Bachelors degree in Business. After only a few short months of part time work as a spa receptionist she knew this was her calling. While maintaining an aggressive academic schedule she began full time work at La Costa Resort and Spa as a spa supervisor on track to new found management goals. Realizing her desire for continued growth Rachel left La Costa after 2.5 years to seek advancement in the spa industry.
Rachel launched her career as Spa Director of The Spa at The Sporting Club in March 2006. Rachel is also a Certified Spa Supervisor awarded by the International Spa Association. Since then the Spa has realized some process improvement and is anticipated to see more positive change in the future.

> Joy comes from living with faith, compassion, and integrity and learning to follow your inner voice without fear.
> I was searching for a career in preventative health care and found this industry to support a healthy lifestyle for both the practitioner and the client. The simple concept of using touch to foster stress reduction and increase physical, energetic, and emotional awareness and avoiding prescription medication made sense to me. This work empowers the clients to be a self-healer.

“Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.”
~James Allen, As a Man Thinketh
After being transformed & inspired to lead a healthy lifestyle with weekly massages, I felt a calling to offer that to others.
One where the therapist is tuned-in to the many levels and ways I’m holding tension, and knows how to relax them. Facials, scrubs, wraps, massage, I love them all!

AA Degree/Esthetician License

Everything happens for a reason.
I had problems with my skin that an esthetician helped treat! I want to help others with their skin care needs.
I love the results of the chemical peels but love to relax with European facials.
Working out is my number one stress reliever. I love going too church, watching movies every night and being with friends and loved ones.
