From foot reflexology to radiofrequency, every service I offer is based on a combination of tradition and innovation to create a unique and personalized experience.
How It All Started
A Thread Woven Towards Wellness
My Story So Far
Since I was a child, I have always had a creative and entrepreneurial streak. I loved creating new things, and my first passion was making amigurumi with crochet: small stuffed figures that I would sell at the craft market on my island. This taught me the value of dedication and attention to detail—qualities that have stayed with me over the years.
As I grew up, during seasonal jobs, I had the fortune of collaborating with an esthetician who opened the doors to this world for me. I was in charge of managing appointments, answering the phone, and observing her skilled hands while she performed waxing, massages, and aesthetic treatments. My curiosity grew more and more each day until I decided to enroll in a beauty school.
At first, I was mainly fascinated by hand care and nail polish application. Massages? They didn’t interest me at all! In fact, they seemed like a passion more suited to my mother, who had always encouraged me in this direction. But during school, something changed: practicing massages and feeling the benefits on my skin allowed me to discover a new world. From that moment on, a passion was born that has never left me.
Chapter 1: The Roots of a Dream
Growing up on an island taught me to seize every opportunity. As a young girl, I turned my creativity into a small business, creating and selling handmade crafts. This first step made me realize how much I enjoyed creating something unique for others—a common thread that still accompanies me today.
Chapter 2: The Summer That Changed Everything
One summer, I started working in a beauty center. From that moment, I realized that I wanted to learn more. I observed every gesture, learned how to organize appointments, and was fascinated by everything: from the precision of the treatments to the techniques used. That curiosity turned into a decision: to dedicate myself to this profession.
Chapter 3: The Discovery of Massages
When I began beauty school, I thought I would only work on hand care. But over time, thanks to passionate teachers and the techniques I experimented with, I discovered how massages can transform a person’s well-being. This made me fall in love with the holistic world, combining beauty and relaxation in perfect harmony.
Chapter 4: From First Experiences to Luxury Spas
After finishing school, I immediately found work in a luxury spa. Here, I had the opportunity to grow professionally, perfect my techniques, and work with the best products and technologies. I have never stopped updating myself because I believe that wellness is a continuous journey—for me and for the people I have the privilege of supporting.
