Confidence Is Quiet
And leadership is lived — not shouted. This is the energy behind every experience at Lux MedSpa Brickell.
With over 20 years of experience across luxury real estate, wellness, and aesthetics, I created Lux MedSpa Brickell to be more than just a spa — it’s a sanctuary. One built on purpose, integrity, and personalization.
I’ve walked many paths — as an international liaison for Sotheby’s, a top producer for iconic developments like One Thousand Museum and Brickell City Centre, and a licensed professional in skincare and massage therapy. Each step brought me closer to the one truth I now live by:
Our bodies are sacred. They deserve care, not just correction. Connection, not just cosmetics.
Every detail at Lux MedSpa — from the music to the lighting to the product selection — reflects my hands-on dedication. I don’t just own the business. I built it. I treat the clients. I scrub the floors. I arrange the flowers. I am the standard. And I hold myself to the highest one.
