As seen inLos Angeles Times

The spa creator who thinks like a marketer.

I review L.A.'s best spas and bathhouses for 800K+ viewers a quarter, and I've spent 8+ years building marketing for service businesses. You get content that looks good and brings in bookings.

My City Spa reel, in the L.A. Times.

The Times' story on L.A.'s Russian bathhouses links my City Spa reel as its example of how social media is bringing banya culture to a wider audience.

Reach that keeps growing.

Ways to work together

From one video to a full content engine.

Start with a single hosted visit. If it performs, I can run your spa's content and marketing month to month through my agency, LK Strategic Ventures.

Hosted feature

Single visit

I visit, experience the spa the way your guests do, and publish a review reel on my Instagram and TikTok.

Content you can use

Add-on

Raw footage and edited cuts licensed for your own social, website, and ads. Creator content usually outperforms studio content in paid social.

Monthly partnership

Retainer

An ongoing content series plus strategy, social management, and promotions through LK Strategic Ventures. Built for spas that want steady bookings, not one spike.

How pricing works. Every partnership pairs a hosted experience with a per-video creative fee. Scope and rates are tailored to your spa and discussed directly.

Medical spas. One signature treatment plus the creative fee.

Why spas work with me

A marketer behind the camera

8+ years in marketing for service businesses. I plan each video around what drives bookings: the hook, the offer, the call to action.

Bathhouse fluent

Bilingual in English and Russian, raised on banya culture. I explain the rituals to new guests without losing what regulars love.

Local, real audience
