How many years have you been in business in NYC?
6 years
How did you get your start and what was your initial inspiration?
My brother-in-law inspired me to follow in his footsteps. I was educated and trained in Buenos Aires, Argentina where I practiced podiatry for 15 years and started my own private practice.
What do you feel differentiates you from others in your field?
I use a unique technique called a dry pedicure, which results in exceptionally soft and healthy feet.
What do you feel gives you longevity in this big city with so many options?
The results speak for themselves; I like to call it “foot rejuvenation therapy”.
How do you positively impact your clientele?
When your feet hurt, it shows on your face. But when you take good care of your feet…just imagine. It’s more than an aesthetic treatment; the simple act of supporting your weight while standing is easier.
What is your favorite part of your job?
The transformation and reaction from my clients
What is your favorite secret NYC spot?
A little café on 67th and Madison. The people are so friendly.
How do you benefit mamas?
After long days on your feet taking care of your family, I want to take good care of what supports your body: your feet.
What is the most memorable feedback a client has given you?
I am proud to say that clients frequently exclaim, ”I can’t believe these are my feet!” It never gets old.

What is the best advice anyone's ever given you? Or what is your "mantra" / words to live by?
Be grateful for the things you do have instead of complaining about the things you don’t.
As moms, the day can escape us, what is your best time-saving trick?
Being organized and getting things ready the night before.
