Meet our Team

Welcome to Ciao Bella Day Spa.

Having spent 20+ years in corporate finance and international business, Geri continued to experience a restlessness to do more.  She wanted to create something of her own; a business her family could work at and build together well into the future.

Geri, Owner of Ciao Bella

Geri had a vision to create a beautiful oasis that would become a haven for peace and well-being.

Throughout her business career, Geri learned that very complex issues could usually be solved by breaking them down to their most basic level – keep it simple.   This is a life lesson she brings to the spa business.

Simple beauty is in and of itself a healing experience; a beautiful sunset, a field full of lavender, a great golf game.  Whatever it is for you…. It is this feeling that helps to bring peace and balance to your life.

The central concept of Ciao Bella Day Spa encompasses the spirit of total wellness for mind, body and soul.  Geri and her family have tried to create an atmosphere that will invoke balance and renewal.  Relax and breathe.  Give your body a chance to release tension and rejuvenate with peace.  At Ciao Bella, you are invited to discover the beauty of simplicity.  Find peace and tranquility.  Feed your soul.
