The Story of Preciosa Spa

It all began when Patricia started working in aesthetics in Brazil at the age of 24. She had always been passionate about the field, expressing her love for aesthetics to her beauty therapist, Simone Drovetto. One day, Simone suggested that Patricia should consider taking a course to further explore her interest. Intrigued by the idea, Patricia began researching various institutions in her area, and Simone recommended SENAI as a starting point. Without hesitation, Patricia enrolled in the course and Simone provided valuable assistance throughout the process.

Despite studying aesthetics, Patricia also maintained a full-time job as a financial administrator. After finishing her work at the office, she would eagerly rush to Simone Drovetto's clinic to gain hands-on experience and learn the necessary techniques. Simone acted as her mentor, guiding her on what to do and what not to do with clients. Patricia's dedication and commitment to learning allowed her to steadily improve her skills.

As time went on, Patricia's proficiency grew, and she eventually reached a point where she mastered various techniques such as Brazilian waxing, body shape massage, lymphatic drainage, and facials. It was at this stage that Patricia made the life-changing decision to leave her old job and pursue a career as a full-time beautician.

After a few years of working in Brazil, Patricia felt a strong desire to live abroad and learn English while she was still young. She researched potential countries and ultimately chose to move to New Zealand. In 2015, she arrived in the country and immediately immersed herself in studying English, eager to absorb as much knowledge as possible from the local people.

In 2017, Patricia received a remarkable opportunity that would shape her future. Through Kelly, a client who owned a beauty salon in Royal Oak, Auckland, Patricia was given a chance to work at the salon for a day and interact with Kelly's clientele. This experience opened doors for Patricia and allowed her to establish connections within the local beauty industry.

As Patricia's reputation grew, she made a decision to invest in her business. In order to enhance the quality of her treatments, she decided to import three types of machines from Brazil: vacuum therapy, electrotherapy, and a hot blanket. Patricia believed that combining manual massage techniques with these machines would yield even better results for her clients. She dedicated herself to constant study and improvement, always striving to provide the best outcomes possible.

With her business expanding rapidly, Patricia found herself in need of additional help. As a result, she began hiring employees to assist her. The growth was so significant that in 2019, she had the opportunity to open her own clinic in Remuera, Auckland. This was an exciting milestone for Patricia, as it allowed her to showcase her exceptional work and demonstrate the transformative power of massage therapy and its numerous benefits to her clients.
