--- title: | Michael Beresford description: Moor Spa was founded in 1998 by Michael Beresford, BSc. Michael has a Bachelor degree in Mathematics from the University of Reading. He spent five years working in research institutes in the UK, Switzerland and Germany, developing computer software that analyzed brain function in people practicing meditation. He is a Certified Meditation (TM) teacher and has personally instructed over 3,000 people. It was during this time that he became interested in Moor therapy and the spa concept. Michael moved to Canada in 1996 to realize his vision of establishing the Moor Spa company. Michael has always felt strongly that spas should be a refuge not only from the stress of day-to-day life, but also from the toxicity of the modern world – so product purity and safety are at the forefront of the formulation and development of Moor Spa products. Michael has over 20 years experience in natural product development, and has spoken at industry events in Canada, U.S.A., Brazil, South Africa, China and Australia. --- [![LMoor](https://blog.lmoor.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/LMoor_June2021/images/lmoor-logo.svg "LMoor")](https://lmoor.com/) - [Shop](https://lmoor.com/en/shop) - Shop by Product Categories - - [Skin Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1359) - [Body Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1360) - [Sun Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1517) - [Hair Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1362) - [Waxing](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1366) - [Lash & Brow](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1374) - [Foot Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1377) - [Manicure/Pedicure](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1386) - [Equipment & Furniture](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1419) - [Massage](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1439) - [Spa Needs & Clinic Essentials](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1446) - [Products on Sale](https://lmoor.com/shop?product_for_sale=1) - Shop by Brands - - [Esse Microbiome Skin Care](https://lmoor.com/en/taxonomy/term/1591) - [Moor Spa Skin & Body Care](https://lmoor.com/brand-product/moor-spa) - [PreEmpt Disinfectants](https://lmoor.com/brand-product/preempt) - [Light Elegance Nail Enhancements](https://lmoor.com/brand-product/light-elegance) - [Equipro](https://lmoor.com/en/brand-product/equipro) - [Refectocil](https://lmoor.com/en/brand-product/refectocil) - [Green Cricket](https://lmoor.com/en/brand-product/green-cricket) - [LYCON Wax System](https://lmoor.com/en/taxonomy/term/1650) - [Learning Centre](https://info.lmoor.com/learning-centre) - [Spathentic Blog](https://blog.lmoor.com/en) - [About us](https://lmoor.com/about-us) - [Contact us](https://lmoor.com/contact-page) - Shop - Shop by Product Categories - [Skin Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1359) - [Body Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1360) - [Sun Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1517) - [Hair Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1362) - [Waxing](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1366) - [Lash & Brow](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1374) - [Foot Care](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1377) - [Manicure/Pedicure](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1386) - [Equipment & Furniture](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1419) - [Massage](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1439) - [Spa Needs & Clinic Essentials](https://lmoor.com/taxonomy/term/1446) - [Products on Sale](https://lmoor.com/shop?product_for_sale=1) - Shop by Brands - [Esse](https://lmoor.com/en/taxonomy/term/1591) - [Moor Spa](https://lmoor.com/brand-product/moor-spa) - [PreEmpt](https://lmoor.com/brand-product/preempt) - [Light Elegance](https://lmoor.com/brand-product/light-elegance) - [Equipro](https://lmoor.com/en/brand-product/equipro) - [Refectocil](https://lmoor.com/en/brand-product/refectocil) - [Green Cricket](https://lmoor.com/en/brand-product/green-cricket) - [LYCON Wax System](https://lmoor.com/en/taxonomy/term/1650) - [Learning Centre](https://info.lmoor.com/learning-centre) - [About us](https://lmoor.com/about-us) - [Contact us](https://lmoor.com/contact-page) - - # Michael Beresford #### Moor Spa was founded in 1998 by Michael Beresford, BSc.
