Teal is our colour — knowledge of the blue, wisdom of the green. We train practitioners who balance technical precision with the quiet attentiveness that makes treatment feel like care, not service.
“We teach hands, but we shape attention.”
— Khun Adele, Founder
Founded in 2012 as the International Beauty & Spa Vocational School and rebranded in 2025 as Adele & Smith Health & Wellness School — Thailand's most considered training ground for spa, beauty and integrative wellness.

Inside the curriculum
Built around the working therapist.
Every program follows the same six-phase shape — theory, demonstration, supervised practice, peer review, client work, and assessment. You graduate confident, not just certified.
01+
Anatomy & physiology
Skin layers, lymphatic flow, muscular tension lines — the body as a working map.
02+
Hands & pressure
Calibrating touch — building the muscular endurance every therapist needs.
03+
Products & ingredients
Reading labels critically; matching formulations to skin type and treatment goal.
04+
Consultation craft
The first five minutes — listening, contraindicating, recommending with confidence.
05+
Studio operations
Hygiene, room turnover, retail conversation, the financial reality of a sustainable practice.
06+
Practical assessment
Final examination on live clients in front of a panel of three senior practitioners.

Alumni voices
What our graduates say.
Five thousand alumni in spas, resorts and cruise ships across Asia. Here are a few who took the time to write.
★★★★★
I came in to learn a trade. I left understanding the body. The anatomy block changed how I read every client — I notice things I'd have walked past before.
Pichapha S.
Senior Therapist · Six Senses Yao Noi
★★★★★
The cohort was small enough that the trainers actually knew my hands. By month three I was working on real clients and getting the kind of correction that builds a career.
Marisol O.
Spa Manager · Manila
★★★★★
What I value most was the calm. Adele & Smith treated us like adults learning a craft — not students being processed. That tone stays with you in how you treat your own clients.
