Hannah White - Spa Manager

Me Professionally:

My name is Hannah, and I am the manager at Pura Vida. My passion for the spa industry began at a young age, inspired by my mother, who is a massage therapist and owned a small spa during my childhood. My first real job was as a chiropractic assistant while I was in high school and dual-enrolled in college. While I enjoyed my time working at the chiropractic office, I knew it wasn't where my true passion lay.

After trying out a few different waitressing jobs, my mom suggested that I apply at Pura Vida, where she had just started working as a massage therapist. That suggestion marked the beginning of my journey with Pura Vida in 2019. I started as a spa tender, folding laundry and cleaning the spa, but it didn’t take long for me to realize that Pura Vida was where I truly belonged, so I pursued it as my career. The staff felt like family, and the growth opportunities were endless. Within two years, I moved up from spa tender to front desk, to patient concierge, and finally to spa manager.

When I began managing, Pura Vida was a single location, and things were quite different. I take great pride in knowing that Pura Vida has played a significant role in shaping me into who I am today, just as I have contributed to its growth. I look forward to many more years in this industry, and I can proudly say that when you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like work at all.

Me Personally:

I am the proud mother of my son, Koen, who is the motivation behind everything I do. In my free time, I love spending quality moments with him, whether by the pool or at the beach with friends and family. Staying active is important to me, and I also find a lot of fulfillment in working on DIY projects around the house. To unwind, I enjoy a relaxing spa day with friends or simply taking time for myself. I’m excited to get to know you and ensure that your experience at Pura Vida is as wonderful as mine has been. I hope to see you soon!
