Abigail James has been appointed as the new training director at Espa, bringing her extensive expertise in skincare, wellness and high-performance coaching to the brand.
James’s career has been shaped by over two decades of clinical experience, education and consultancy.
She is known for her ability to combine scientific insight with intuitive, results-driven techniques, and for her passion for innovation and education. It was this passion which led her to create the holistic therapy Rejuvology, now taught internationally.
James is the author of two bestselling books on skin health and ageing well, a Master NLP Practitioner and a trusted advisor to wellness brands and practitioners.
With a background in entrepreneurship, hands-on therapy, coaching and digital communication, she brings a rare combination of depth, innovation, and emotional intelligence to her work.
Her integrated approach echoes the founding principles of Espa – uniting holistic healing, clinical insight and a deep respect for the power of human touch with science and results.
James will lead the evolution of the brand’s global treatment and education programmes – deepening therapist expertise, advancing protocol development and enhancing spa and guest experience.
“I’m delighted to join Espa at such a meaningful time for the brand,” James said. “This role is about honouring the heritage of Espa while bringing fresh energy, insight and structure to our training and treatment philosophy.”
"I am thrilled to welcome Abigail James as our new training director at Espa," shared Daniel Golby, Espa's managing director.
"With her exceptional expertise, innovative approach to skincare and dedication to wellness, she will be instrumental in advancing our training programs and global spa experiences.
“James’s commitment to education and excellence will be key in shaping the future of our treatments and protocols, and we look forward to the significant impact she will have on both our team and guests."
