The Forever Confidence Team

At Forever Confidence Aesthetics Body Contouring & Spa, we are very selective in choosing the right team members and assistants that can uphold our high service standards. Our team is involved in continuing education and certification of the latest treatments to deliver to our clientele. In 2022 we had 15 graduating students from the classes and certifications we completed. We provided over 1,500 treatments and served more than 600 clients. We are highly reviewed for the services we provide, which keeps our clients returning. Our growth has been directly attributed to the referrals we receive from our current clients and area physicians. Our team is entrusted by top surgeons in the DMV and Miami FL areas in our post-op care we provide. It is much more than lymphatic drainage to help your recovery, but also focuses on the correct supporting garments, resources for fast healing, and help with stretching.

Zulma Martinez - Wax Technician & Licensed Esthetician

A Mexican American raised by a large family who’s roots and hearts are native to Veracruz, Zulma watched her sisters and family confidently portraying their natural beauty and aspired to be a part of the beauty industry to represent her community.

Zulma is a licensed esthetician whose love for skin & beauty comes from observing her mother apply her daily & nightly skincare routine as a child while always reminding her that all aspects of health are vital for ones well being.

Zulma graduated from cosmetology school in 2010 in Mexico and practiced that career for six years before moving back to Maryland. Inspired by her mother who’s tradition was to always care for ones health and skin, and her own skin concerns she then attended Dermal Science International Aesthetics Academy in 2018. 

Zulma believes that skin care is a stepping stone into a world of self love, self care, and an overall healthier lifestyle. She wishes to help others achieve the confidence and self love that she grew into, because if you look good you start to feel good. That is the start to set off a chain reaction into taking care of your body internally as well as keeping up with your appearance.
