Caridad Mercado

Founder + Facialist

My journey began with a deep passion for wellness, self-care, and the strong desire to share it with others. I’ve always been drawn to the power of human connection, touch and the positive exchange of energy. I believe that being of service to others is the rent we pay for our time here on earth.

 Becoming a licensed esthetician was a profound turning point in my life. For over 25 years, I worked in the corporate world navigating long hours, intense demands, and high workloads. While I am deeply grateful for the opportunities I had and the incredible people I met along the way, I reached a place where I knew it was time for a change. My goal now is to live a more intentional life and hopefully introduce others to it as well. 

I chose to pursue esthetics because of my love for skincare and holistic selfcare. I’ve always been an advocate for rituals that nurture the body and spirit, facials, massage, time in nature and a healthy lifestyle. I especially cherish the way I feel after a facial and massage. Once, I had a facialist who took the time to truly get to know me, my skin, my needs, my goals and the experience stayed with me. That one moment made me realize: this is what I’m meant to give others. 

To evoke an experience that not only brings visible transformation through result driven treatments, but also invites deep relaxation, soothes the nervous system, and nourishes the soul. 

So, I took the leap. I went back to school, followed my calling, and began my practice rooted in healing, intention and care.

My intention is to provide you with an exceptional experience each time you enter my treatment room. My goal is for you to leave the stress of the day behind and walk out feeling seen, nurtured, and glowing from the inside out. 

It is my sincere hope that you receive the intentionality and high vibrations I've infused into my practice.
