Caroline Loureiro is a local business owner and a long time Santa Barbara resident. She first came to this wonderful city from Brazil over a decade ago to visit a friend and to explore new opportunities. To her surprise she wound up finding a new home! Having worked in the hotel industry for many years in Brazil it seemed a logical progression to continue that career path here in Santa Barbara and she enrolled in the Hotel Restaurant Management program at SBCC. "Since completing the program I have worked for several of the areas many fine resorts, including The Biltmore, San Ysidro Ranch, The Bacara, and Simpson House Inn. During that time I became aware of what I believed was the need for a client service that was as yet unavailable in the Santa Barbara area but which is commonly found in Brazil, High quality mobile spa services. I saw an opportunity to start my own business and having found a niche that I felt I could fulfill; Indulgence The Home Spa was born. “ Our concept is to provide the same high quality services and treatments one receives at a five star day spa, but we deliver that service to our clients' door.

Carla was born and raised in Brazil. There she was taught that personal grooming was a serious business, and that a manicure and pedicure are intensive treatments, not just a change of polish. She was drawn to the beauty industry and because of that passion became an owner of a beauty salon. Carla came to United States 2 years ago and received her Nail Technician’s license at Marinello Beauty School and loves the variety that each day can bring with the work she does. She can start with a simple manicure and move onto anything from a French Polish to Nail Art for a wedding. I'm always updating my technique and observing people who can pass on helpful hints to me, as I've found this is the best way to expand my skills so that I'm able to offer my clients a range of unique services rather than just the basics.
My philosophy is: there's always someone's nail that needs attention.

Carlos Lima, was raised in Sao Paulo Brazil, where he was exposed to a style of cooking that fused unique Italian culture and traditional Brazilian influences to create a flavorful masterpiece.
From early on, Carlos knew he enjoyed creating food to please his friends and family. In 1997, Carlos moved to Santa Barbara to follow his dream of being a chef and enrolled at the Culinary and Restaurant Program during the era of Chairman John Dunn. Taking advice from his grandfather, Carlos decided to make sure he would like working in a professional kitchen and applied for the job as a pantry cook at Mimosa Restaurant, Santa Barbara, where his mentor Camile Swartz was the Chef and Owner. Carlos didn't just like it, he loved it and his passion for French cuisine and professional career was born.
After three years in Santa Barbara, Carlos moved to Nevada to assist Chef Camile with the opening of Mirabelle Restaurant in South Lake Tahoe. One year later, Carlos moved to Brazil and began a serious culinary practice in the hotel business under the tutelage of experienced chef Marcelo Pinheiro at the Grand Hyatt in Sao Paulo. After 2 years of working with Chef Marcelo, to which he eventually became the Chef d’ Partie, Carlos decided it was time to move back to the U.S..
In 2004, Carlos moved back to Santa Barbara to work at the Four Seasons Hotel Biltmore in charge of the Coral Casino Restaurant. Following this exciting experience, Carlos began his career as a Private Chef and running his small catering company.
On his culinary journey, Carlos organized an Indian Fest featured in the Santa Barbara News Press.
Outside of creating culinary masterpieces, 33-year-old Carlos enjoys surfing and barbecuing with friends.

Massage has always been a hobby of Christians, which later became one of his professional avenues. His training is on Swedish technique, which brings stress relief and relaxation, as well as a focus on sports massage and deep tissue, since he is very active himself and understands what athletes need. He is also certified on barefoot massage, which Christian believes is the future of sports massage, because it allows a level of pressure greater and more comfortable than what is possible with the hands. There are many ways to care for the body, but this guy feels there is no greater replacement for a good massage.
