Soothe Partners with Woodhouse Spas to Support Financial Growth

Soothe, a marketplace for wellness, has entered an exclusive partnership with Woodhouse Spas, a luxury day-spa franchise, to provide additional staff to Woodhouse franchise locations.

With the partnership, licensed massage therapists, estheticians, cosmetologists, and nail tech providers can use the Soothe Pro app to schedule shifts at Woodhouse Spas, which has more than 75 locations across 22 states. The partnership will help Woodhouse Spas continue to grow while also offering shifts for providers through the Soothe platform.

"We're excited to be partnering with Woodhouse Spas to help them meet their high demand and help fill in the gaps in the labor market," Soothe CEO John Ellis said. "Soothe's marketplace platform provides flexibility for licensed providers to work during the hours that best suit them while seamlessly allowing spa and hospitality businesses to reach a larger pool of talent and meet their customers' needs. It's a win-win for everyone."

"We're seeing an increased demand for our luxury services across the country," Woodhouse Spa COO Susan Hern said. "Being a part of Soothe's marketplace allows us to bolster our services and meet the needs of our clients in a more flexible way.
