Gael Wood - Massage Business Coach, Entrepreneur and Author

Gael Wood is a massage and spa professional with 30 years of experience. She graduated from massage school at 19 and opened a day spa and therapeutic massage center in 2003, which she ran for 6 years. She has also worked in various settings, including client homes, resorts, and spas.

In 2013, Gael launched her first online business, which she managed alongside her career as a massage therapist. As the online business began to take off, she decided to retire from hands-on massage work in 2016 and concentrate on using her extensive knowledge and experience to create tailored training, coaching materials, and courses for estheticians, as well as massage and spa professionals.

Gael is the co-host and co-founder of the Global Wellness Professionals Marketing Summits and the Work Freedom Summit. She has also hosted the Massage and Spa Success Summits and resource bundles for several years, bringing industry leaders together for high-value interactive events. She was honored to be inducted into the World Massage Hall of Fame and was featured as a Massage Magazine All-Star in 2019.

Since reducing her hands-on massage work and concentrating on her online businesses, Gael has been prolific with her creativity. To date, she has created over 60 successful online courses, launched popular Massage and Spa Marketing Content Clubs, written and self-published more than 15 eBooks, and created a library of invaluable resources for massage, beauty, and spa professionals, such as the popular Massage and Spa Resource Bundles.

Gael has always been fascinated by Feng Shui, which led her to study at the International Feng Shui School. In 2019, she gained certification in feng shui, enabling her to conduct consultations as another part of her business.

She has since trained in coaching through The Life Coach School and is Coaching Tools Certified.

Most recently, Gael created the Massage and Spa Success Club, a program for massage and spa therapists ready to make more money and create their dream business!

Gael is happiest in creator mode, finding new course ideas, marketing content, and books. She is constantly inspired to create courses and templates and continues to launch new ideas. She loves to educate herself and discover new ideas, learning as much as possible through reading books, doing online research, and studying online classes and programs to boost her knowledge.

Her one wish is that what she does can inspire others, and she aims to help as many people as possible thrive with her courses, books, and programs.

Gael lives in Boone, North Carolina, with her husband, Dave, and son Santino. She also has an older daughter, Grace.
