Joy moved to Canada from Manila in 2003. At the time, she was a licensed Civil Engineer in Manila and ended up working for a small construction company in Edmonton in 2005. Her role in this company was extensive and exposed her in all operations of the business. Joy’s transition from the construction world to the health and beauty industry started in 2018, when her partner passed away from cancer.

Overwhelmed with grief, she was looking for a place to de-stress and recharge without having to leave the city. She couldn’t find a place that resembled what she had in mind and that’s when the idea of starting her own luxury spa began. Every day, her passion for a unique spa slowly grew. She wanted the spa to have a focus on self-care and indulgence simultaneously. Eventually, she took a giant leap of faith. 4 years after that devastating time in her life, she is finally able to share her vision with the Edmonton community! Wellness is such a significant part of everybody’s lives, and she is honoured to be a part of an industry that supports it.
