Cici Coffee, Founder and CEO of Natural Body Spa & Shoppe, is the quintessential example of a successful business professional.  She began the company in 1989, and has since expanded her idea into over 19 locations in six states.  Not only does Natural Body boast an impressive number of spas, the company has continued to develop its original concept with the addition of the innovative 10Ten Nail Bar.  Through Cici's vision, the business is also exceptionally committed to community and sustaining the environment. 

A full-service day spa and retail shoppe, Natural Body takes seriously its all-natural approach to services. All services also incorporate water, taking to heart the very essence of spa: "sanitas per aqua."  This commitment is also evident in the retail and service product selection, which Cici carefully scrutinizes to ensure they align perfectly with the all-natural and organic vision of the company.  The Natural Body proprietary line of skin care products was specifically designed with these standards in mind.   Another staple of all Natural Body Spas is The Blending Bar, a unique concept featuring essential oils custom blended for the ultimate aromatherapy experience.

Cici founded Natural Body on the principal of providing natural and nurturing services and products to her clients, while always remembering the importance of protecting the environment. Seventeen years later, her vision is stronger than ever. More than just providing natural services along with some of the most coveted organic products on the market, Natural Body utilizes recycled products, including the newsletter and spa menus printed on recycled paper with soy ink. Plus, as often as possible, the spas incorporate recycled, post consumer building materials in their construction. Many of the floors are crafted with recycled school bus tires, among other recycled waste.

Professionally Cici realizes the importance of constant growth, and has continually sourced to find new ways of utilizing sustainable woods, post-consumer materials and recycled elements in the construction of the company's spas. Her environmentally-conscience approach gives each spa a distinctive look and feel. At some of the newest locations, the company is striving for official LEED Certification--leadership in energy and environmental design. This goal is especially important to Cici as LEED certification distinguishes building projects that have demonstrated a commitment to sustainability. LEED emphasizes state-of-the-art strategies for sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.

The company is continually determined to set a new standard for the ultimate Green Spa experience. Certain Green Spa touches are evident, from the natural approach to massage, aesthetic and anti-aging treatments to the organic products offered in the retail area.  Recently, Natural Body Spa & Shoppe was named as a founding member of The Green Spa Network, a trade organization comprised of six prominent U.S. spas dedicated to providing the spa community with information on "greening" their operations. 

As if the presence of nineteen spas isn't impressive enough, Cici has recently unleashed her newest concept 10Ten, an enhanced nail bar experience.  With two Atlanta locations, this ingenious idea caters to carefully caring for hands and feet.  Not only does this new concept integrate the Five Elements of Chinese Philosophy into all of the services, it has already been recognized for practicing some of the most rigorous sanitary standards in the nail care industry. 

Dedicated to her company, community and the environment, Cici is an amazing example of an outstanding and dynamic business owner.   Her hands-on efforts and creativity are evident when you enter a Natural Body Spa, and she is still as involved in the operations of the spas as she was when the flagship location opened nearly two decades ago.  She is certainly the ideal illustration of a successful woman in business.
