From Resilience to Leadership: My Inspiring Journey with Derma Advanced
My mother’s strength marked me forever. A professional woman who embodied dedication to “let’s be professionals,” she left me a legacy of excellence. However, life tested me with a young marriage, three children, domestic violence, and the painful separation from my little ones. These trials awakened in me a determination I didn’t know I had. I fought for my legal status, my family, and my dreams.
A trip, a pregnancy, and the sun revealed an unexpected challenge: melasma. Experiencing it firsthand, I researched tirelessly, and by improving my skin, I discovered my true passion: understanding memory, wounds, and the skin’s healing potential. This sparked my path to becoming an esthetician and building a new life.
I didn’t stop at the surface. I studied chemistry, biology, and physics, discovering that skin is a living universe of atoms, cells, and stories. From my first day of school, I knew I would create my own space.
Today, with Derma Advanced, I fulfill not only my dream, but also my mother’s. Where she was the “village doctor,” I am the guide who, with expert care and firm support, transforms my clients’ skin and confidence. Join this journey!
