Adela’s Journey from Milan to Dubai
Adela’s journey started in Milan when she booked a treatment in a spa and realized how much massage therapy helped people feel better. At that moment she felt inspired to help others too and decided to embark on a mission to be able to “change people’s mood and generate happiness”. This led her to dedicate herself to wellness, driven by her natural desire to bring happiness and ease burdens for others.
“Driven by my insatiable thirst for knowledge and a relentless pursuit of excellence, I honed my skills amidst the luxury of Costa Smeralda, Sardinia, where I administered nine massages daily at a luxury retreat. It was here that I first discovered my passion for sculpting and contouring techniques, laying the foundation for my future specialization in lymphatic drainage and body sculpting.” She shared.
As a way to expand her horizons, Adela moved to Dubai and there, she was exposed to a diverse range of cultures, which contributed to her personal and professional growth as a therapist and as a woman.
“Eager to broaden my horizons, I ventured to Dubai—a dazzling desert oasis bursting with opportunity and potential. Immersed in this cosmopolitan melting pot, I embraced the rich tapestry of cultures that surrounded me, each contributing to my growth as both a therapist and a woman. Amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, I embarked on a transformative journey of self-discovery, soaking up knowledge and experiences at every turn.”
Adela’s meticulous attention to detail and expertise, allowed her to become a sought-after practitioner in Dubai, just like she explained:
