Sabai Thai Spa Launches Tree-Planting Initiative to Restore British Columbia's Forests and Oceans

VANCOUVER, BC, April 22, 2025 /CNW/ - Vancouver-based wellness brand Sabai Thai Spa is taking its commitment to healing beyond the treatment room and into the natural world. In an effort to support reforestation and marine restoration across British Columbia, Sabai Thai Spa has launched an environmental initiative to plant a tree for every massage booked, and give customers the chance to deepen their impact with the option to add a tree ($1.50) or kelp ($0.25) at online checkout when purchasing a massage voucher.

With over 25,000 hectares of forests in the Nicola Watershed damaged by wildfires, the spa's mission is clear: to support climate action by restoring forests, reducing flood and erosion risks, and helping revitalize aquatic ecosystems.

"We believe healing starts from within—but it doesn't stop there," said Nuttha Goutier, Co-Founder of Sabai Thai Spa. "Our mission has always been to help people feel better in their bodies. Now, we're helping the planet feel better too."

"It's more than a tree—it's a step toward climate resilience, community connection, and a healthier future," added Co-Founder Jacques Goutier. "As a proudly local business, we want to give back to the land that sustains us."

A Tree or Kelp for Every Massage

Sabai Thai Spa is committed to planting one verified tree for every massage—making every spa visit a contribution to environmental restoration.

When customers purchase a massage voucher online, they'll also have the opportunity to add an extra tree for $1.50or kelp for $0.25at checkout, amplifying their personal impact with a simple click.

The planting is conducted in partnership with veritree, a leading restorative platform known for its science-backed, blockchain-verified approach to ecological restoration. veritree works directly with planting partners and local communities to ensure transparency, accountability, and long-term success on the ground.

"Sabai Thai Spa's commitment to restoration is a powerful example of how local businesses can drive meaningful change. By connecting personal wellness with planetary health, they're setting a new standard for what it means to care—for ourselves, our communities, and the ecosystems we depend on. We're proud to partner with a brand that understands healing starts with action," said David Luba, Co-Founder and Head of Partnerships at veritree.
