GRATITUDE AND REFLECTION: A JOURNEY TO THALGO’S ROOTS IN FRANCE
Amanda Ponsumay
Explore Amanda Ponsumay’s realisation of a long-cherished dream as they visit the Thalgo head office. Get a glimpse of the brand’s rich heritage with the first vision still driving its success today.
Many years ago I worked for a company that stocked Thalgo, and there was this excitement about winning a trip to France to visit the Thalgo head office.
That day I told myself that one day, I WILL win this incentive. And truth be told my dream finally came true. I won the Spa Manager incentive, and I left for France on the 2nd of September 2023.
This was an absolute life changing experience. I always loved Thalgo but now that I got to see how it is made the heart and soul behind the brand, I have a new-found LOVE and passion
Learning that Thalgo la Beaute Marine is a family-owned business, passed on through generations, and the original vision and values of the brand is still being used until this day, makes Thalgo even more amazing in my eyes.
My highlights were:
Going to the factory and seeing the product from recipe, to formulation, to packaging and on its way to destination, was extraordinary.
Being a part of a Thalgo trial product test was exhilarating. The education from the France trainers will stay with me forever, and I have passed this valuable information onto my team of therapists.
Not to mention the wonderful dinners and gorgeous France sight visits with the Thalgo team from France.
Many thanks goes to:
Debbie Merdjan and Alison Yammin for putting this incentive together.
I would also like to extend a special thanks to Luvonne Wilken for believing in me and giving me the opportunity to work for the Camelot Spa group, which lead me to this experience eventually.
I was so overwhelmed with emotion the entire trip. It felt all so unreal. Seeing the EIFFEL tower lead me to tears, because I was extremely grateful to the people who believed in me and to God for giving me the strength to always power through. Hard work truly does pay off
Thank you to Marine Spa Distributors for putting this together and awarding us an unforgettable trip to France!
