Caroline Jones’ Sprinter conversion, the Zen Ten Spa

Working vans can often be a little rough around the edges — it’s the nature of the job. However, I’m pretty certain that therapist Caroline Jones’ new Sprinter conversion will retain its pristine new finish for rather longer than usual.

Caroline has recently taken her spa therapy business on the road, with a custom Sprinter conversion built around a luton body.

The Warwick-based former BBC producer recently purchased a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 313 CDI medium chassis cab with a purpose-built and climate-controlled box body, built for her by M6 Motor Bodies, of Birmingham.

“It’s been more than a year since I began evolving the concept of the Zen Ten Spa and having put so much work into the project I’m really excited finally to be up and running,” she said.

“My business is not a beauty parlour; it’s a spa, and aimed at a high-end, lifestyle-focused customer base. So given its premium brand values and the unrivalled quality of its products, Mercedes-Benz was the only manufacturer I wanted to work with.”

Fitted with a folding massage couch, a fruit bowl-style basin in pure mother-of-pearl, gossamer curtains and an abundance of gold-plated fixtures, the room has been painstakingly designed down to the finest detail, to be a relaxing and rejuvenating tranquil oasis.

Inside the Zen Ten Spa, which is climate controlled, plush luxury fittings make it hard to tell that you are in a van.

Caroline, who spent 22 years making network TV programmes for the BBC in Birmingham, has been a practicing aromatherapist since the early 1990s, and is also qualified to administer a range of other treatments. She offers a portfolio of ten holistic therapies including Swedish Massage, Reflexology, Reiki, Indian Head Massage, Hot Stone Therapy and Foot Rescue, as well as other, lighter alternatives.
