About Us

“Pura Vida”

While the name directly translates to “Pure Life”, to us, it’s so much more than that. In the Costa Rican society, they have coined the term to embrace the sentiment that life is good, and nothing is worth getting stressed about. Pura Vida is about slowing down to appreciate the simple pleasures that life has to offer. These two simple words embody a way of life, a mindset and a feeling. We fully embrace this culture at Pura Vida Health & Beauty Med Spa. We truly believe that we can help you get healthier, feel better and live a happier life. We value a natural approach to medicine and use only the highest quality ingredients in our products. We have high standards when it comes to how we treat our patients and we’re certain that you will feel the difference when you meet our team of professionals. So, sit back, relax and enjoy the benefits of choosing us!
