"When the concept for AQUAMEDICA came to me, I had been thinking of how water had influenced the philosophy behind everything at my first spa, AQUATICA SALON & DAY SPA in Shrewsbury, New Jersey," says Valentina Chistova.

"My mother is my role model. She is a great example of everything that should exist in a business owner. She's a leader, a motivator, and an extremely hard working individual. She has set many goals for herself and she has accomplished every single one of them. In my book, any individual like that is someone to follow or aspire to emulate:even if she is my mother."
