Kindness Is A Choice - Nuttha Goutier - Founder, CEO, Franchisor & Business Development Executive at Sabai Thai Spa #305

Send Us A Message or Ask Us A Question? Savia Rocks opens season seven of the Us People Podcast with reflections on legacy, peeling away cultural conditioning and trauma, listening, and making choices that serve what matters. She interviews Nuttha Goutier co-founder and CEO of Sabai Thai Spa, who shares growing up in a small village in Thailand with no running water or electricity where community support, joy in hard work, and living in the moment shaped her values. Nuttha describes immigrating to Canada over 25 years ago, overcoming setbacks, doubt, depression, and personal losses by acknowledging the past, letting go, and focusing on present choices, defining herself by resilience. She explains her purpose for building spas as creating a welcoming, belonging “home” experience, promoting self-care as a routine, supporting local communities, and planting a tree for every massage, with success defined by people’s happiness and community impact. She outlines her daily routine (early wake-up, meditation, exercise, preparing four kids for school, and choosing gratitude), discusses wellness as preventive care for mind, body, and spirit, and argues that caring for yourself leads to kindness toward others. Nuttha Goutier speaks about avoiding judgment through respect and acceptance, concerns about technology’s impact on younger generations, and suggests more nature, meditation, and yoga in schools. 00:00 Welcome to Yes People Podcast 01:24 Meet Nuttha Goutier 02:23 Growing Up in Thailand 03:22 Finding Joy in Hard Work 05:14 Life as a Journey 05:44 Building Through Belief 06:31 Self Care and Balance 07:15 Looking in the Mirror 08:23 Overcoming Life's Challenges 10:53 The Power of Resilience 11:26 Dealing with Trauma 12:37 Letting Go of the Past 13:53 Finding Your Purpose 15:15 Creating Meaningful Impact 17:12 Why Start a Spa Business 17:37 Everyone Has a Gift 18:14 Defining Success 19:36 The Sabai Spa Experience 21:12 A Day in the Life 22:43 Morning Routine and Mindset 23:18 Choosing Your Emotions 24:32 Embracing Imperfection 25:46 Understanding Wellness and Wellbeing 26:45 Wellbeing and Self Care 27:23 Preventative Health Philosophy 28:16 Body as Vehicle 30:05 Judgment and Respect 32:05 Technology and Modern Generation 34:55 Life Lessons and Quotes 36:00 Carrying with Your Heart 37:40 Three Ps of Success 38:32 Best Advice from Dad 39:58 Choices Equal Results 41:31 Living Each Day Fully 43:03 Forest Meditation Practice 44:20 Meditation Journey and Growth 45:36 Mental Health and Awareness 46:48 Connect and Find Out More 47:57 Final Words and Gratitude Website: Website: Website: Website: Thank you so much Nuttha Goutier for reminding us that the beauty of kindly has always lied within us - Savia Rocks Support the show
