Vancouver-based wellness brand Sabai Thai Spa has launched an initiative to plant a tree for every massage booked in an effort to support reforestation and marine restoration across British Columbia. The company will also give customers the option to add a tree ($1.50) or kelp ($0.25) at online checkout when purchasing a massage voucher.
More than 25,000 hectares of forests in Vancouver’s Nicola Watershed were damaged by wildfires. The spa aims 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.”
The planting is conducted in partnership with veritree, a platform that works directly with planting partners and local communities to ensure transparency, accountability, and long-term success on the ground
“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.”
