108 Mile Ranch…The Erica Miller Spa School in British Columbia, Canada, continues to meet the international demand for post-graduate spa training from its headquarters at The Hills Health Ranch, near 100 Mile House, British Columbia. During its May, 2002 programs delegates from as far away as the Philippines and across the United States and Canada gathered to learn, up-grade their skills and pick up on the latest trends in the rapidly-growing international spa business.

      This innovative joint venture between internationally recognized author and educator Erica Miller and The Hills Health Ranch, was established in October, 2001, for the advancement of spa and esthetic education in Canada. Since then numerous courses, including Spa Business and Development, Merchandising and Retail Development, Personnel Management and Staffing Motivation, have been successfully held.

      Spa operators, practitioners, and developers have taken advantage of these highly acclaimed courses. The intensive, five-day Spa Directors Training Course has been extremely successful, and is running again May 12 to 16. Along with the training provided during workshop hours, delegates will have the opportunity to stay at The Hills Health Ranch, dine on gourmet spa cuisine, interact with destination spa guests, and generally observe the running first-hand of an award-winning destination spa.

      The Hills Health Ranch opened in June of 1985, envisioned and designed as the first year round health and fitness vacation resort built in Canada. Since then, The Hills Health Ranch has continued to create innovative health and wellness programs and packages that teach guests new ways to improve their overall well-being for a healthier, more fulfilling lifestyle.
