Eco-friendly Efforts

We are all in this world together, for a short time, before passing it on.

Nature is a source joy and stillness for me, and a common resource we all share.  I make an effort to run my life and Ensenada Massage in an eco-friendly way. Here is what we have been doing along the way. Please give me additional ideas in the comments section!

  • Switched to LED office lights where possible.

  • Buying massage cream by volume to reduce shipping and packaging.

  • We decided to us hot water pot for facials rather than plumb for hot water.

  • Laundry provider Jorge to use eco friendly detergent.

  • Laundry is done in volume to reduce transport and unit costs. Also using spot removal to keep sheets clean and professional rather than throw out and buy new. Couples who receive massage one after another have a choice to use the same sheets.

  • Installing efficient mini split this summer rather than older cooler/fan used last year to keep temps comfortable.

  • Installed ceiling vent rather than fan in the window.

  • I personally live within walking distance, and have adopted a biking lifestyle whenever possible. As of yet, I can't bike to pick up cruise boat couples or to the valle! Main therapists all live nearby to reduce transportation time and costs.

  • Switched to washable face rests and sheets rather than disposables.

  • Using washable towels rather than paper towels in our private bathroom.

  • Using LED street sign on a timer, only during busy traffic hours of night. But Google Street views hasn’t been updated. . .

  • Switched to energy efficient table warmers instead of space heaters in the winter.

  • Switched to energy efficient Hot Stone warmers.

  • Eliminating printed material advertising when digital works as well or better.

  • Switching to paper water cups rather than plastic

  • In my home I am a vegan and flexitarian when out and about socially

Please let me know in your ideas with a comment below!  We are open to change, and I challenge you to make 1 simple change this week: 

And if you want to dance like a child to get in the eco groove listen to Jack Johnson here;)    

Reduce, Reduce, Recycle. . .

In 2011, I traded the burnout of consulting for the pace of Baja, Mexico. What began as a personal search for healing in Ensenada evolved into a lifestyle to share the best of this region with travelers.

Over the last 15 years, I haven’t just lived in Baja; I’ve explored many of it's adventures, mastered its logistics, and built a community-focused business to help travelers get the info and connection for safe exploration of Ensenada that fits their group.

As the founder of Ensenada Massage and Valle Mobile Spa, I believe wellness and peace comes first, then adventure. After a Carnival cruise and recognizing a need for more intimate, traveler-centric experiences, I launched Ensenada Excursions & Tours. I saw the limitations of crowded, cookie-cutter shore excursions and built a team that prioritizes customization, safety, and local insight—so you can experience Ensenada on your own terms.

Today, through Baja Tours & Transport, we bridge the safety and logistical gap between San Diego and Valle de Guadalupe, ensuring your journey is as seamless and flexible.

I live in Ensenada and visit San Diego often for family elder car, but my heart is permanently on the road. Whether I’m scouting a new path through the Valle de Guadalupe, practicing capoeira, or diving into the latest research on longevity, I am constantly learning to create my own family peace and have enough energy to adventure in Baja and down to Baja Sur, so I can share with visitors.

I try to be more than just a business owner; I’m your local resource for Safety guides, port guides and hidden taco spots to the perfect itinerary.

Give me dm for encourgement, connection and random quesitons only a local would know. Life is better with community, and dogs;)
