Aqua Spa & Skin opened its doors in 1994 and has since become a well-known name in the skincare & beauty industry, offering expert skin care, medical skin treatments and luxurious spa therapies. Owner and founder, Lorinda Maritz, has an immense passion for skincare and eagerly shares her experience & knowledge through training. A long-standing dream has been to open an academy where she could not only share her knowledge but empower the future generation of somatologists.

Lorinda is proud to present the Aqua Spa Academy which will be opening its doors in 2020 in the picturesque, coastal town of Jeffreys Bay.

The academy offers a one-year Somatology/Beauty Specialist course in skincare, makeup, manicures and pedicures, waxing and professional conduct. Our aim is to be nationally and internationally accredited before the commencement of the 2020 academic year. Academy trainer, Yolandi Howell, is a qualified Somatologist, teacher, assessor and moderator, and has 13 years’ experience in the field of teaching. 
 

The academy will be operating in collaboration with Victory Gap Year, a Kingdom-based program that provides a healthy environment in which to learn about life and leadership within the Kingdom of God. Our students will be provided the opportunity to join in on activities and lectures with the VGY students. What will distinguish this academy is that our students aren’t only being equipped for a career, but also the development of their character and spiritual qualities.
