The $1,000 Startup That Became a Million-Dollar Spa Franchise

Nuttha Goutier came to Canada from a small village in Thailand with little money, limited English, and one clear vision: help people feel healthier and more connected. Today, her Sabai Thai Spa brand spans multiple locations and 13 franchise territories across Canada. In this episode, Nuttha breaks down how she launched her first spa with less than $1,000 and no business background — and grew it into a brand where a single location can hit $1.7M a year. If you're thinking about opening a spa or buying a franchise, she gets into exactly what you can expect to make.
