Meet Mari — Founder of Beyond the Scars
I’m Mari Torres, RN, and I created Beyond the Scars after living through my own post-surgery recovery and realizing just how much the in-between is overlooked. With over 10 years of nursing experience, I combine expert post-op care and compassionate support to help individuals heal, feel confident, and reconnect with their bodies. Because your journey doesn’t end after surgery, that’s where your glow-up truly begins.
Where Healing Meets Confidence
Beyond the Scars was created after living through my own post-surgery recovery and realizing just how much the in-between is overlooked. While there’s plenty of focus on the before and the after, there’s very little care for the stage where your body is healing, your confidence is rebuilding, and your mind is trying to catch up. That vulnerable stage is where real transformation happens, and it’s where compassion, education, and support matter most. Beyond the Scars exists to help individuals heal, feel confident, and reconnect with their bodies — because your journey doesn’t end after surgery, that’s where your glow-up truly begins.
Why Choose Beyond the Scars
When you come to Beyond the Scars, you’re not just getting a “lymphatic drainage.”
You’re getting recovery care from a Registered Nurse who knows exactly what your body needs during healing.
Here’s what makes your experience unique:
- Clinical care you can trust: I understand what’s normal healing and what’s not and I’ll guide you every step of the way.
- Ongoing support: You’re never on your own. I’m available for questions or concerns, and you’re always welcome to text or call.
- Certified technique: I use the PF Method, a proven post-op lymphatic approach developed by Paola Fongaro of Brazil designed to safely reduce swelling and prevent complications.
- Proper scar and wound care: If you have incisions or scars, I make sure they’re cleaned, taped, and cared for correctly to promote smooth healing.
- Recovery tips & tricks: You’ll leave each session knowing exactly what to do at home how to move, rest, and care for your body between visits.
- Tailored treatments: Every body heals differently, and your sessions are customized to your comfort level and recovery stage.
Because around here, it’s not just about recovering, it’s about healing the right way and feeling confident through every stage of it.
Results don’t end in the OR, they’re built in recovery
