In today's fast-paced culture, self-care is becoming a priority. Robust personal and work schedules often leave people longing for a convenient way to unwind and recharge.
Enter Scape, a leading app-based service in Mexico that provides on-demand massage and facial treatments directly to your home or office.
This innovative app-based service quickly filled a gap in the busy lives of professionals, offering on-demand massages for ultimate convenience. But Scape's vision has grown far beyond its initial concept. Led by a passionate CEO, Helle Jeppsson, the company is transforming into a comprehensive wellness platform, empowering therapists, expanding services, and shaping the future of self-care in Latin America.
The Inspiration Behind Scape
The founder identified a pain point in the spa industry. "We saw a gap in the market," Helle Jeppsson told VC Mexico. "Weekdays are busy, and people struggle to find time for massages or other wellness services. Weekends are booked solid, so we saw an opportunity to bring the spa directly to clients' homes, offering on-demand massages for busy professionals."
Sometimes it’s just about finding a way!
However, the journey wasn't been without hurdles. "The pandemic hit us hard," Helle admitted. "Regulations forced us to close initially. We had to find creative solutions, even selling Lululemon leggings for a while, just to stay afloat.
We've come a long way since the beginning. Scape started in Mexico, and now we're thriving in 26 cities across the country. We've even expanded our reach to Colombia, Chile, and the Dominican Republic! - Helle Jeppsson (CEO Scape)
A Self-Care Ecosystem: A Vision for Impact
Despite these challenges, the CEO remains committed to a vision that extends beyond simply offering a convenient service. "There's a misconception that wellness is a frivolous industry," Helle Jeppsson explained. "We believe self-care is essential for physical and mental health. Some might think I just wanted a fun, trendy business, but my goal is to build a scalable company with a real impact on people's lives not only for our clients, but also for our employees.”
This vision extends beyond the initial app. "Scape started as an app for on-demand massages at home," CEO said. "We've expanded to B2B services, providing massage therapists for hotels and corporate programs. We even launched our own line of massage oils and aromatherapy products, Mys.
The future involves opening our platform to other beauty and wellness brands for integration and marketing."
