BeautyView: Diana Mestre, Owner & Director, Mestre & Mestre Spa Consulting

Even before meeting Diana, I admired her. Not only had we been introduced by email by a close common friend and spa industry expert, but I knew she worked with her daughter. And I love any mother that works with her daughter! Over the past two years, I have had the pleasure of getting to know Diana more closely. She is a spa industry leader in Mexico (where you can now find Alchimie Forever!), responsible for the design and creation of many of the country’s top resort spas. Her projects are imbued with her conviction that the beauty of our industry is to integrate body, mind and spirit for a healthier, more fulfilled life. Indeed, daily meditation is her secret to work.life balance. I should perhaps try that…
