Spa Management Consultant: Norma Caceres
During the 1970s, Mrs. Norma Caceres owned a prestigious beauty salon in Mexico City, where she had the opportunity to implement her passion for hair and skin care, as well as to work with dermatologists and other health specialists. She moved to Barcelona, Spain, to study lymphatic drainage techniques under doctor Emir Vodder, who created a medical therapy to help his patients. She also graduated as a Dermo-Quirotherapists while in Barcelona. She return to Mexico in the 1980s and opened her own Lymphatic Health Center in Merida, Yucatan, and created a Cosmetic Spa School. She studied indigenous herbal medicine under her father, who owns Phitopharmacos Lab and has developed many healing preventive medicinal products from Mexican medicinal plants. In 2014, she joined the new generation of Yaxkin Spa owners in their effort to broaden the Maya wellness vision and mission of this innovative Maya Holistic Wellness Center. She has developed seven new Spa treatments and therapies dedicated to lymphatic drainage, weight control, varicose vain smoothing support, and other health related needs in an effort to bring you a fuller wellness Spa care and health choices.
Holistic Wellness Coach: Isabel Gutierrez
Having dealt with health complications early in life, Isabel is aware that wellness is not one-size fits all. "This awareness has helped me realize that you must be your own health and wellness advocate. To truly enjoy a holistic wellness balance you need truly to learn to listen to how your body reacts to everything you put into or onto it, all the while researching what would health care would be the best fit for you." She continues, "At Yaxkin Spa, we aim to help you create a personalized awareness and understand the uniqueness of yourself. Love your natural beauty and find your balance." Her background in Anthropology with a concentration in Mayan Studies helps her look at wellness from various cultural perspectives, which demonstrate that throughout human history different ancient cultures tackled the same health issues in various ways. The way ancient cultures perceived, approached, and addressed wellness provides an important complement to the advances of modern medicine. Taking into account various ancient medicinal practices and honing the ability to follow what works for your own body and not simply following the latest "health" trend, are her primary motivations which she shares with Yaxkin Spa guests.
