A spa owner who puts God first in her business.

As you enter Spa Moritz Salon and Spa, there is an overwhelming sense of peace that is not motivated by the serene music or dim lighting, but by the power of the Holy Spirit. You find yourself in another world. The exterior deceives what the visitor will encounter within this exquisite space. You are welcomed by a warm environment reminiscent of Rome with a classical motif. The rich brown stained concrete floors pull you in as your eyes are drawn up to the soft hue of the stone walls, columns, and the beautiful tray ceiling in the lobby. It is obvious that every interior detail was chosen with extreme care to produce an atmosphere conducive to a luxurious experience that will leave you wanting more. The interior is beautifully done, but the true treasure of Spa Moritz rests within the hearts of Dyan Piller and her staff of 31.

Dyan Piller is owner and operator of Spa Moritz. She is also an Esthetician and Permanent Make-up Artist. Dyan has been in the Beauty industry for the last 20 years. She worked 8 years for Pevonia, which is one of the largest skin care lines in the world. While at Pevonia, Dyan was mentored by Sylvie Hennessy, who is one of the most renowned individuals in professional skin care products in the world. Dyan has visited some of the most grandiose spas in the world. “A lot of what you see here [at Spa Moritz] is bits and pieces of her history in this industry,” states Dyan’s husband.

Dyan’s husband, Dennis, handles public relations and marketing for Spa Moritz. They have been married for 11 years. Their interaction with each other reveals that they have been together for a long time, but they still have that "honeymooner" type of love and chemistry between them. They also enjoy working together. Dennis is very supportive of Dyan’s dream. He states, “This was her dream and so she asked if I would support her in it.” Dyan quickly adds, “I couldn’t do it without him.” They talk several times a day. Dennis reveals, “She is a relationship builder and I'm more business minded. So, it makes for a great marriage….” It is easy to understand why Dennis refers to Dyan as “a relationship builder” because the joy and serenity of the Lord is apparent in Dyan’s gentle spirit, which immediately puts you at ease.

Services and Awards

Spa Moritz offers a wide variety of luxurious spa and salon services including: body treatments, facials and peels, massages (for couples too), manicures, pedicures, spray tans, professional teeth whitening, cuts, color, conditioning treatments, and much more. There is definitely something on the menu for everyone, and they offer affordable gift card packages for birthdays, anniversaries, and holidays.

Spa Moritz has served more than 30,000 clients in the last four years. “Everything they do begins with having a servant’s heart, wanting to be a practical example of a Christian principled company in a secular world,” states Dennis. God’s faithfulness is shown in Spa Moritz’s several awards—Vive Magazine ‘06: #1 European Spa in Central Florida; Tampa Bay Metro Magazine ‘06, ‘07, ‘08, and ‘09: The Best European Salon & Spa in Tampa Bay; ‘09 Spa World Guide: Spa Moritz was selected to be published among the most Elite & Prestigious Spas in the US.

How It All Started

Dyan explained, at the time there wasn't a European day spa in this area. A dream arose from Dyan’s heart for a luxurious spa where people could go and be treated like royalty. She knew they would not only give the best services, but also show their clients warmth, compassion, and sincerity. Dyan desired to create “The Perfect Experience,” a place of refuge from the hectic world where clients would feel like they don't want to leave. With God’s help, Dyan’s dream started to take form.

From the leasing of the space to the interior construction of the spa, God’s hand was upon Spa Moritz. Dyan mentioned that this was the last space left in Tampa Palms (at that time), and God enabled them to get it. Dyan and Dennis heard stories of it taking many months to build a spa, but it only took 90 days from start to completion. The amazing part was that the contractor was done right on time. Some small issues did arise during the construction process, but they were quickly worked out through the favor of God. Dyan’s dream of creating a spectacular spa was realized in September 2005 when they opened Spa Moritz.

What Makes Spa Moritz Stand Out?

Dyan gets a lot of complements on the beautiful interior, but she emphasizes that the real beauty comes from within everyone who works at Spa Moritz. Dyan and Dennis explain that they prayed for amazing technicians that would have a servant’s heart and a passion for what they do. They stood in faith for the technicians, and the Lord brought the right people in. Since Spa Moritz opened, they have retained most of their technicians and continually trust the Lord to bring in the right people. Dyan comments that people love Spa Moritz’s technicians because they have a passion for what they do. In addition, all of the staff work well together and respect one another, which makes for a very peaceful atmosphere. Spa Moritz truly desires to serve their clients with excellence, while creating a comforting environment.

What truly makes Spa Moritz different than other spas? “Dyan makes the difference,” remarks Dennis. “She has the servant's heart; she has a kindness that is genuine that people feel. She has a calmness that could diffuse a bomb. She is accessible; she listens to everyone. She has an open-door policy.” Dyan helps those in need. These qualities are a true representation of a child of God. Wherever you find a child of God, you find the presence of the Lord. So, it shouldn’t be surprising that Spa Moritz stands out from other spas and businesses – the presence of God makes all the difference.
