POSTED 14 Jan 2021 . BY Megan Whitby
Spafest is the brainchild of Amanda Winwood, founder of Made for Life Organics
Amanda Winwood, founder of Made for Life Organics, has announced that industry event SpaFest will be held in the UK in September.

Launched in 2017, the event is masterminded by Winwood and is designed to unite professionals from the wellness industry in a relaxed environment while offering expert insight from key industry figures, as well as networking opportunities.

“It will be a time for honest conversations and a good look at wellbeing, particularly in the context of 2020,” she said.

“The focus will be on people, the planet and health and how we forge ahead to make a difference.”

Winwood revealed attendees can expect an exciting schedule, ranging from wild sea swimming and yoga to gong baths and singing.

Previous events have also featured a line-up of dynamic speakers from across the sector and exclusive treatment opportunities supplied by Made for Life.

Dates for the conference and more information will be unveiled in the coming eight weeks.
