About Me

Long before Casa Diosa had a name, I was making body scrubs in the kitchen with my mom as a teenager. One of the many things I learned from her was the importance of skin care. I also learned from her the benefits of certain oils and their nourishing properties. I have been crafting body oils and scrubs for myself ever since.
 

In the summer of 2019, I lost my mother unexpectedly. Then came the stillness of the pandemic. During that time, I began making candles. Blending fragrance oils and making infusions. It gave my hands something to do, it kept my mind occupied and it gave my heart a little room to breathe. Handcrafting the items that were directly part of my self care rituals became my little became my little escape. 
 

I have spent almost twenty years caring for others in the medical field, including the last several years in a Level I trauma emergency room. Where I have learned first hand how fragile life can be. I know what it feels like to give so much of yourself through a long day and come home with very little left. That work has made me treasure time with the people I love, and it has reminded me that I need care, as well.
 

When my daughter was diagnosed with autism at two years old, my entire world shifted, I began imagining a life where I could be fully present with my family while building something meaningful with my own hands. Casa Diosa grew from that wish, and from all the years I had spent making, learning, grieving, and finding my way back to myself.
 

Today, I’m building Casa Diosa around the care I have always loved: a cozy candle light setting, a delightful fragrance, warm water, skin nourishment and creating a purposeful moment for ourselves. Casa Diosa is for all women, especially those who are so often needed by everyone else. I hope what I create helps you claim a moment that is yours and remember how good it feels to care for yourself.
