I’m Kassandra Marissa, co-founder of Grandona Amor, where beauty and care go deeper than skin.

This space was born from a lifetime of transformation—some of it beautiful, much of it brutal, and all of it sacred in hindsight.

Growing up, I didn’t feel at home in my body. I was bullied, both at school and within my own family, and developed intense body dysmorphia and obsessive behaviors just to cope. I spent years chasing worthiness, believing that if I could just change how I looked, maybe I’d feel loved. But the truth is, I was already whole—I just didn’t know it yet.

In my early 20s, I began working in wellness and energy healing. I led circles, guided women, and started to rebuild a relationship with myself. But healing isn’t a straight path. I fell in love again and again with people who mirrored my unhealed parts. One of those relationships—my marriage—shook me to my core. I learned so much about people and love and I grew so much from this difficult experience.

As a deeply empathetic soul, I once believed I could save everyone. But I’ve learned that healing begins when we choose ourselves.

After my daughter was born, I was paralyzed from the chest down due to a rare neurological condition. Alone in a hospital room, unable to move, I made a soul contract with God. I wasn’t done. I was here for something more. I rose from that moment, not just physically but spiritually—with a clarity I’d never known before.

Grandona Amor is the result of that journey. It’s a place where people come to care for their outer self and leave with something deeper restored. It’s a place where you feel at home creating with others even if not one word is spoken. My services may begin with facial massage, electrolysis, or head treatments, or just hosting a room full of people… but what I truly offer is a safe space to come back home to yourself.

Through intentional care, loving touch, and deeply-rooted presence, I help clients look in the mirror and actually love what they see. This work is personal. It’s purpose-driven. And it’s anchored in a quiet kind of magic that doesn’t need to be explained, only felt.
