Maro Holistic Skin Therapist

🌙 This is more than skincare. This is a nighttime ritual I didn’t know I needed……🙌🏼🌱
The Laurel Sleep Collection is very close to my heart. As a holistic esthetician, healer, grief mother, and cancer survivor, I know how deeply we need rest, calm, and moments to simply breathe.
I started using this collection weeks before we launched it, and I’ve been amazed, not only by what it’s done for my skin, but by how it makes me feel. 🌿
The plants, the beautiful aromatics, the Overnight Balm/Mask… they became part of my nightly ritual and helped me create a sense of calm when my nervous system needed it most.
For me, healing is mind, body, and soul. And sometimes healing begins with something as simple as slowing down, taking a breath, and letting yourself rest. 🤍
🌙 Sleep. Restore. Nourish. Heal.
With love,
Maro 🤍

One of my old favorites… 🍯🫐
The Honey Berry Enzyme Mask by Laurel was always one of those products that made a treatment feel extra special. The beautiful aroma, the gentle enzymes, the way the skin looked and felt afterward… pure goodness. ✨
And of course, one of my favorite little moments in the treatment room was the money tapping — those small, mindful touches that bring a little extra energy, intention, and joy into the ritual. 🤲✨
After all these years, it’s the little things I remember most. The beautiful products, the healing touch, the rituals, the connection, and those quiet moments when someone completely lets go and allows themselves to be cared for.
So much of what I do has always been about more than skincare. It’s about creating a moment where you can slow down, breathe, receive, and reconnect with yourself. 🤍

✨ THIS IS MORE THAN SKINCARE. THIS IS HEALING THROUGH TOUCH. ✨
For over two decades, my hands have been my greatest teachers.
I began my career in beauty, but somewhere along the way, I realized I was searching for something much deeper.
I wasn’t interested in simply making someone’s skin look beautiful.
I wanted to understand what happens when we slow down… breathe… soften… and allow the body to feel safe.
My journey into holistic esthetics became a journey into healing—learning to listen to the body, to the face, to the breath, to the energy, and to everything we carry silently within us.
Through intentional touch, facial massage, lymphatic work, buccal massage, gua sha, aromatherapy, and ancient healing practices, I create treatments that go beyond the surface.
Because sometimes the body doesn’t need more.
It needs less.
Less tension.
Less rushing.
Less holding on.
And more presence.
More breath.
More connection.
More permission to simply be.
🌿 My touch is gentle, but it is intentional.
It is designed to remind the body that it can soften.
To remind the mind that it can quiet.
To remind the soul that it deserves to be cared for too.
And now… something new is coming.
A new chapter.
A deeper approach.
A more intentional way of bringing together everything I have learned throughout my career, my own healing journey, and the wisdom that my hands have gathered along the way.
Mind. Body. Soul. Touch.
This isn’t about chasing perfection.
It’s about coming home to yourself.
Stay close.
The next chapter of my work is coming soon. 🤍🌿
And I can’t wait to share it with you.

I’ve survived a lot through the years.
I left my country and my family behind to build a new life. I went through divorce and had to start over from scratch. I faced cancer, chemotherapy, and fought for my life. I lost my son and learned that grief is something you carry forever. It changes you, and some days it still takes my breath away.
Yet nobody ever prepared me for perimenopause and how much it could affect my mind, body, energy, emotions, and confidence on a daily basis.
The truth is, I’m a healer. I’m a holistic esthetician. Every day I help others feel better, heal, and reconnect with themselves. But I’m also human. I have my own struggles, my own fears, and my own healing journey.
What keeps me going is the work I do on myself. I move my body even when I don’t feel like it. I choose healthy foods. I stay consistent. I keep learning about women’s health, healing, mindset, and personal growth. I pause the noise, the negativity, and the self-doubt as often as I can.
Healing is not a destination. It’s a lifelong practice.
I’ve learned that you can’t truly help others heal if you’re not willing to do the work on yourself first. Not because you have all the answers, but because you understand the journey.
To every woman fighting battles nobody can see: keep going. Be gentle with yourself. Honor your body. Trust your strength.
You have survived 100% of your hardest days so far. And that is something worth celebrating. ❤️

These before-and-after photos are a beautiful reminder that healthy skin starts with hydration.
In the before photo, you can see how dehydration can make fine lines and wrinkles appear more pronounced. When the skin is thirsty, it often looks dull, tired, and lacks the plumpness that gives it a youthful glow.
After just one organic holistic facial treatment, you can see the difference. The skin looks nourished, hydrated, radiant, and refreshed. Proper hydration helps soften the appearance of fine lines, improves elasticity, and brings life back to the skin.
This is why I always say: healthy, vibrant skin is not about covering imperfections—it’s about supporting your skin’s natural ability to heal, balance, and glow.
✨ Hydrated skin is happy skin.
✨ Healthy skin is beautiful skin.

Sunscreen is not just for the beach my loves 😂☀️
Your skin needs protection EVERY single day even when it’s cloudy, cold, raining or you’re just outside being cute 😎
The sun does not care about your expensive facials, serums or makeup 😂
No sunscreen = faster aging, dark spots, pigmentation and tired skin.
Think of sunscreen like your daily bodyguard for your face 🕶️✨
Meanwhile baby girl over here like 🎤
“Put your sunscreen onnnn before you leave the houseeee” 😂💃☀️
Protect the skin now so future you will thank you later 💋

To be a woman is not easy. To be a woman far away from your home, family, friends, and culture is even harder.
So many women silently carry pain, grief, loss, heartbreak, sickness, and battles nobody sees. We face storms one after another, yet somehow we still rise, stand tall, keep going, and become stronger through it all.
Cheers to the strong women.
The women who survive the unimaginable.
The women who continue to love, give, heal, and stay kind no matter what life throws at them.
I came to this country as a young woman over 25 years ago, and life taught me strength in ways I never expected. Through every challenge, one thing stayed true,healing others also heals a part of yourself.
Making people feel beautiful, confident, loved, and cared for is what I love the most. ❤️
To every woman fighting battles quietly… I see you.
Keep going. Your strength is powerful, your heart is beautiful, and your story matters. ✨

Sometimes life hits hard and you don’t always know which direction to go… but always trust your gut, believe in yourself, and know deep inside that you will rise above anything and anyone that ever tried to stand in your way. ✨
Happy Mother’s Day to this beautiful soul , an amazing mama, a beautiful friend, and a woman who gives so much of herself to everyone around her. 🤍
I hope you always remember to take time for yourself too… to slow down, nourish your skin, rest your soul, and embrace those quiet little self-care moments that make you feel beautiful from the inside out. Because you deserve softness, love, care, and all the pampering in the world. ✨
Thank you for trusting me all these years with your beautiful heart, your soul, and your skin. It truly means so much to me. ♥️

Honey tapping with the Honey Berry Mask by Laurel… one of my most indulgent rituals 🍯✨
This isn’t just skincare, it’s slow, intentional, deeply nourishing touch. The way the mask grips the skin, creating that gentle lift with every tap… you feel everything awaken. Circulation, energy, glow.
It’s rich, it’s active, it’s alive. And when you remove it… the skin is plump, radiant, luminous in a way that feels almost unreal.
Luxurious, but never excessive. Just pure, potent, skin-loving ingredients doing exactly what they’re meant to do.
This is the kind of glow you don’t fake… you feel it.
