At Spa Luxe, we are proud to share a milestone that reflects the heart behind our brand. Our founder, Tori Clark, was recently featured on the American Operator Podcast, a platform that highlights leaders who build meaningful businesses through grit, purpose, and unwavering dedication. Tori’s story is one of resilience and reinvention, and seeing her journey spotlighted on a national stage is a moment of pride for our entire team.

A Story Rooted in Grit, Grace, and Leadership

In her interview, Tori shares a deeply personal look into the experiences that shaped her long before Spa Luxe ever opened its doors. Raised in Brenham, Texas, she grew up watching her father work tirelessly as a single parent, often in circumstances that would have discouraged most. His perseverance left a mark that would later influence her leadership style and the philosophies behind Spa Luxe.

Her entrepreneurial path formally began in her twenties when she stepped in to help her grandparents run their family’s charter bus company, Clark Travel. After their passing, Tori discovered that the business was unexpectedly millions of dollars in debt. She faced a crossroads: walk away or take on an overwhelming challenge. She chose the latter.

What followed was a multi-year effort marked by long days, strategic restructuring, and the determination to stabilize a company that seemed unsalvageable. Without a finance background, Tori trusted her instincts, leaned on mentors, and reimagined how the company operated. Her leadership ultimately led Clark Travel to a successful acquisition, preserving jobs and honoring the legacy her family built.

Where Business Meets Purpose: The Beginning of Spa Luxe

After selling the bus company, Tori redirected her energy to a new calling—one rooted in wellness, hospitality, and community. She founded Spa Luxe with a clear vision: to create a space that feels intentional, restorative, and deeply connected to the people it serves.

Spa Luxe is not simply a place to receive a massage or facial. It is an environment built on the belief that care should be personal. Every detail, from the service experience to the atmosphere, reflects the lessons Tori learned from her grandmother’s hospitality and her father’s resilience.

In her interview, Tori speaks candidly about wanting to build a brand where people feel known, valued, and genuinely cared for. This philosophy has shaped every aspect of Spa Luxe and continues to guide its growth.

Growth Fueled by Community Support: Our Second Location in Austin

The success of our flagship Georgetown location and the loyalty of our guests have allowed Spa Luxe to grow in ways that feel both exciting and humbling. We are pleased to share that Spa Luxe has officially expanded with a second location in Austin.

This new location brings our signature hospitality-centered approach to a broader community while preserving the same standards of excellence and intentionality that define the Spa Luxe experience. Guests in Austin can now enjoy our curated range of services, delivered with the same level of care that has made Spa Luxe a trusted name in the spa industry.

Looking Ahead: Georgetown’s MedSpa Expansion Coming January

As we continue to grow, we remain committed to enhancing our offerings in meaningful and value-driven ways. Beginning in January, our Georgetown location will expand into a full MedSpa. This new chapter will introduce advanced medical-grade treatments, enhanced skin therapies, and results-driven services that complement our spa experience.

This addition reflects our commitment to evolving with the needs of our guests while preserving the warmth, safety, and hospitality-centered approach that Spa Luxe is known for.

A Moment Worth Celebrating

Having Tori’s story featured on the American Operator Podcast is a proud moment for our team, not only because it highlights the origins of Spa Luxe, but because it underscores the values behind the brand. Her journey—from navigating overwhelming adversity to building a wellness company grounded in intention—embodies what Spa Luxe stands for today.

We encourage you to listen to the full interview to hear Tori speak about her experiences, her leadership philosophy, and her vision for the future of Spa Luxe.
