“Just as the Ranch has grown better year after year, just as the industry as a whole has grown better, SpaFinder parallels with this growth and development and has kept up and led the way in so many ways in connecting the spas and giving them strength and the prestige. I think SpaFinder has done a fabulous job of acquainting the world with the idea that there is something better than pharmaceuticals to take for your health. They have really been a leader and the leadership role that they play is very important.”
