Mother, entrepreneur, life enthusiast, and a firm believer in collective growth with a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Universidad Iberoamericana, I’m deeply passionate about business.

My constant drive to learn and pursue new ventures led me to work in various industries, including hospitality, where I gained valuable experience in service and customer relations. This inspired me to refer to our clients at Moor Spa as “guests” to make them feel at home.

After deciding to enter the wellness and personal care industry with my first business, I pursued studies in Cosmetology in Canada. This was the beginning of Moor Spa Nails, a concept that also included a business plan for the commercialization of a 100% natural product line—free of chemicals, colorants, artificial fragrances, and based on Moor, a miraculous healing mud extracted from Austria.

In 2011, together with my partner and husband Gabriel, we opened the first Moor Spa + Nails location.

Today, after 12 years, we have successfully expanded the business to 7 branches in key areas of Mexico City, along with at-home services through our Moor Spa Home model and an online store for Moor Spa products.
