RAQUEL RZEPECKI, Aesthetic Instructor |
Following a successful career in retail management, Raquel opened Lakali Natural Skincare Spa in April 2006. Raquel was compelled to open her spa after her mother was diagnosed with cancer. The experience changed Raquel’s outlook and made her more aware of the importance of tending to one’s health and achieving balance and serenity in one’s life. “Lakali” means “Raquel” in Hawaiian and her skincare spa has an essence of the Hawaiian spirit. Raquel has a passion for green products and is a member of the Association of Holistic Skin Care Practitioners. Her interest in natural skincare brought her to Pure Aesthetics. |
