Dinah Josephs

Luxury Wellness & Spa Manager.

I am a Luxury Wellness & Spa Manager with over 23 years’ experience in luxury resorts, boutique wellness clubs, and premier destinations, delivering first class wellness, spa, and holistic programs.

With 16 years leading small and large teams, I am bubbly, driven, and passionate about wellness, leading by example with a positive, can-do mindset. I thrive on building teams, empowering staff, driving innovation, and creating transformative client experiences.

About Me:
I have spent over two decades building my career in luxury wellness, spa, and holistic wellbeing, combining leadership, operational management, business expertise, and hands-on program delivery.  

My skills include team leadership, mentoring, operational oversight, business management, event organisation, and creating exceptional client experiences, ensuring every program or service exceeds expectations.

Over the course of my career, I have delivered seminars, inspirational talks, and workshops to over 500 delegates, including university business and college students, as well as leaders within the education system.                     I have founded and directed private exclusive and community wellbeing and arts projects and businesses, securing over €20,000 in funding to support delivery, staffing, and resources.

I am certified in business management and hold various technical wellness certifications.  I am also a mind-body practitioner with training in Pilates and yoga, allowing me to integrate holistic wellness practices into spa and wellness programs.  I specialise in children’s wellness activities, designing and delivering programs that are fun, safe, and developmental.  I was headhunted at age 17 for excellence in fitness and wellness delivery, and have since gained extensive experience in operations, program management, and team leadership.

I enjoy motivating people, believing they are the heart of every organisation, and I live by the philosophy that happy, empowered teams create exceptional client experiences.  Outside of work, I am passionate about nature, holistic therapies, animals, healthy living, art, cooking, dance, and exploring new places and cultures, which inspire the wellness experiences I create.  I am also a natural skincare formulator and producer, choreographer, and dance leader.
