Living Earth Crafts (LEC) and its family of brands – Earthlite, Continuum Pedicure and TARA Spa Therapy – recently unveiled an array of new technologies and designs at the 2025 ISPA conference in Colorado Springs.

A key launch included the Cascade Multi-Purpose Treatment Table with VitaLymph Therapy System, designed to improve guest experience and treatment outcomes during lymphatic drainage protocols.

Key features include FDA-cleared, pulsed LED light therapy supplied by Celluma, specialised Trendelenburg tilt positioning and embedded heat/vibration functions.

The table is up-lit by sleek LED lights and can accommodate all traditional body and facial treatments. It also features a snug storage compartment for the Celluma light therapy treatment pad.

Jim Chenevey, LEC CEO, said: “We’re so excited to continue to build on our reputation for innovation in the luxury wellness space. Our R&D efforts continue to fill our pipeline with breakthrough wellness technologies that can make life-changing differences for our clients and enhance the guest experience.”

New team members

LEC recently welcomed two new appointments to bolster its senior leadership team and help drive growth – including industry veteran Thorsten Lipfert.

With over 25 years in wellness, Lipfert began as a physical therapist and entrepreneur. Now, as Earthlite’s managing director of EMEA, he’s leading expansion efforts, including a new Dubai branch to grow LEC’s presence across the GCC.

“My new role is exciting – I’ll be building a team to support new initiatives and existing partnerships with top hotels and resort spas. With Earthlite, we’re also targeting day spas, holistic centres, beauty clinics and medical spas,” he said, speaking exclusively to Spa Business.

Lipfert sees major opportunities in the UAE’s booming luxury hospitality sector and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

“With rising demand for wellness services among locals, ex-pats and travellers, the market is primed for growth.”

He also credits industry pioneer Chenevey as a key reason for joining: “Jim’s commitment to wellness and sustainability has been truly inspiring.”
