Ten minutes with Moranda
01What do you attribute your success to?
I think my success comes down to tenacity. It’s about being willing to keep going, no matter how many obstacles get in the way. I believe in myself, and I’ve learned that getting knocked down is part of the journey. There have been plenty of challenges and setbacks, but giving up was never an option. Every experience taught me something, made me stronger, and pushed me to keep moving forward. That persistence and determination have been key to achieving the things I’m most proud of today.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
”In healthcare, your compassion and resilience can heal and inspire. Believe in your limitless potential to make a difference every day “ Kevin Johnson,MD
So now is the time to heal and inspire through a different approach using my limitless potential ~Moranda Vazquez
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
If I could offer one piece of advice to young women entering this industry, it would be to keep moving forward. One of the mantras I live by—and share with my clients every day—is that every experience is simply a stop along the way through your journey and not your destination. There will be challenges, setbacks, and moments of uncertainty, but those experiences do not define your potential. Stay resilient, believe in yourself, and trust the process. Every step you take contributes to your growth, and as long as you continue moving forward with purpose and determination, you are making progress toward your goals.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest opportunities in my field is helping people recognize that true beauty and wellness begin from within. While many med spas focus primarily on outward appearance, at Calm Oasis Mind Spa we prioritize mental and emotional well-being, believing that when people feel healthy, balanced, and confident on the inside, it naturally reflects on the outside. As awareness of holistic wellness continues to grow, there is a greater opportunity to support lasting transformation by focusing on the whole person, not just their appearance..The biggest challenge is ,while many people are looking for tranquility and peace in this busy life very few are taking the steps to find it.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
The values I instill in my children are the same values my parents instilled in me: treat others the way you want to be treated. I believe that principle goes a long way in life because what you put out into the world is often what you receive in return. Kindness, respect, and compassion have a way of coming back to you, and those are values I try to live by every day and pass on to my children.
