Carillon Miami Beach has named Ronel Corbin as its new executive vice president of health, wellness & spa. In her new role, Corbin will oversee the growth and strategy of the all-suite hotel’s spa, including the fitness studios and the integrated health and wellness centre.

With more than 20 years in the spa industry both in the US and internationally, Corbin has served as US senior vice president for UK-based supplier ESPA International, and is well-versed in spa development and operations, from concept creation and initial design, to development, implementation, management and training, the company said.

“Ronel’s knowledge and passion for the ever-evolving health, wellness and spa industries will bring striking energy and innovation to the existing resort and spa offerings, and help to establish inventive treatments and programs unlike those at any other spa in South Florida,” said Lester Scott, managing director of the Carillon Miami Beach.

Corbin is also a Chinese medicine physician, is nationally board certified in both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine, and is licensed as an acupuncture physician as a primary care provider with the Florida Department of Health.

“I believe that spa and wellness are the foundation to a fulfilled, productive and happy life,” said Corbin. “I have an insatiable curiosity to help people to feel better, which motivates me to find a solution to each and everyone’s health concerns. When developing and managing the spa and health operations of the Carillon, I will explore every aspect to ensure that they are authentic, purpose-driven healing spaces and deliver services with the goal of optimising health and longevity and re-energising the whole person.”
