The Founder

My Story

For more than three decades, I have built my career at the intersection of professional skincare and holistic wellness. My foundation was formed under mentors who traveled from France to share their expertise, and it gave me a standard of precision, knowledge and care that I bring to every product I select and every person I guide.

At a French beauty institute in Panama, I learned to care for skin with my hands: facials, collagen veil treatments, the complete ritual. I began by training alongside the institute's cosmetologists and, over time, was entrusted with leading the boutique counter of a French skincare and fragrance house. That is where I discovered what I love most about this work: listening to each client, guiding them and teaching them how to care for their skin. Many of those clients stayed with me for years.

Over the years, my path widened from skin to whole-body wellness. I worked with essential oils and trained in aromatherapy, nervous system regulation, holistic health coaching and energy healing. I have also run my own catering business for more than twenty years, where I learned that nourishing someone is another way of caring for them. I came to understand that skin, rest, calm and what we eat all belong together.

From guiding and supporting so many people in holistic consultations came my book El Cuerpo Que Recuerda Cómo Calmarse and the Reset de 7 Días, my nutrition guide. I wrote them to share with you what I taught for years in my consultations.

Venus Olo Sanctuary is where I bring all of it together. Every product here is carefully curated: I chose each one the way I would for a lifelong client, with ingredients I respect and a clear explanation of what it is for and how to use it.

Thank you for being here.

With love,
