Michele Alton
Lead Manager

Michele's move to Colorado and choice to join the TallGrass team was purely a quality of life decision. "Colorado is where I belong," she says. "And, the people at TallGrass feel like a family." Her leadership role is a perfect fit because, having grown up in a military family, she is well acquainted with the challenges of responsibility, duty and integrity. Michele gladly shares her secret to taking care of oneself: "Who knows better than you where you need to be?"

Shannon Marinos
Team Leader, Guest Relations, Retail, and Laundry Departments

She calls herself "Mama Bear."  Super-protective of her Guest Relations, Laundy, and Retail teams, she's always there for them. "No judgment," she says, "just a positive direction, setting goals together and moving forward." She puts emphasis on training because she knows people will be more confident, stay in the job longer, and the teams will be happier together. Her strategy aims to ensure happy crews, all together, all the time. "It's my big thing," she says, "I always want to give people the tools to be great."

Montana Beutlich
Team Leader, Massage Department

Montana leads our team of massage therapists whom she describes as relaxed, calm, confident, beautiful souls. They work their therapeutic magic in 5 massage rooms each day at TallGrass. Providing all that nurturing and positive energy for guests means therapists must care for themselves, too. Montana makes sure they focus on self-care techniques to keep muscles loose and agile. And that creates an atmosphere of good energy and well-being for all!

Bonnie leads a small but mighty team of three stylists. They work together in the hair salon that's set apart from the main spa, and that is where the four of them thrive! They work together in a stylish, creative, and calming atmosphere where everyone feels at ease. The salon is quite the luxurious space for these TallGrass stylists to do what they do best – consulting with guests to create attractive styles, colors and cuts.
