Meet Alejandra Harguth of Englewood

Today we’d like to introduce you to Alejandra Harguth.

Hi Alejandra, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
My name is Alejandra, and I am an intuitive holistic esthetician and the founder of Enchanted GLO Aesthetics + Energy Healing, rooted in the philosophy of Nourish • Balance • GLO. My work lives at the intersection of skin science and energetic awareness, where the nervous system and the skin barrier speak the same language. I specialize in advanced facial sculpting, lymphatic support, and barrier restoration, while weaving in subtle energetic recalibration to support the whole person — not only the complexion. I believe the skin is a map of the inner world, and when we learn to read it, we begin to understand the story beneath the surface.

Before stepping into this calling, I spent years in a structured, analytical career that sharpened my intuition, pattern recognition, and emotional intelligence. For a long time, I was living unconsciously aware — I could sense and know things deeply, yet I did not fully understand how or why. It took getting very sick and being forced to pause to truly listen. That season of stillness opened doors that had been waiting patiently for my attention. It revealed a gift for energetic work that synchronizes with the nervous system and directly impacts skin health. Once I understood that connection, I knew I was exactly where I was meant to be.

Today, my mission is to help others reconnect to themselves through intentional touch, education, and energetic alignment. Whether through a sculptural facial, lymphatic support, or energy healing, my intention is always the same: to create a sanctuary where people feel seen, regulated, and empowered in their own skin. Nourish the body. Balance the system. Step fully into your GLO.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
For most of my life, I chose what felt solid. Responsible. Secure.

Becoming a federal investigator was a strong choice. It was respected. It was stable. It gave me structure and identity. I believed that was where I was meant to be.

But for the last fifteen years, the universe had been slowly showing me that I was not aligned.

Life felt harder than it should have. I was living in a quiet state of insecurity. Foundations that appeared solid were not. Situations I thought were permanent began to crack. Subtle whispers kept nudging me to look closer, to question, to take charge of my life instead of maintaining what looked good on paper.

Then the whispers became physical.

Debilitating migraines took over. They became so severe that I could no longer perform my job. I had to walk away from the career I had built, the identity I had worn, the version of myself I thought was fixed.

When the labels were stripped away — mother, daughter, wife, employee, sister — I was left with me.

And I did not know who that was.

I was lost. So lost that I had lost myself.

That was the beginning.

I started searching for community, for women who felt the same quiet unraveling. I realized there were many of us. Same age. Same stage of life. Same internal questions. Same feeling of “there has to be more.”

Before I could guide anyone, I had to work on myself first. I began slowing down. Meditating. Listening. Healing. I am still learning. Still evolving. Still integrating.

From that inner work, Reset Retreats were born. Spaces for women to pause, recalibrate, and reconnect. At the same time, I began to understand something I had always carried — an intuitive ability to feel energy shifts in people. I had always been good at it, but I did not understand what I was doing or how it worked.

As I evolved, I trained formally. I became an Angelic Reiki Master, a Traditional Reiki Master, a chakra alignment and clearing practitioner, and an EME Integration coach. The retreats and the energy work began to merge. Science and spirit started to make sense together.

I did not become a licensed esthetician until November 2024.

And yet, looking back, everything was leading there.

The skin became the bridge. I understood that by the time the skin shows signs of imbalance, it has already been manifesting internally. You cannot have healthy skin without healing from within. The skin is a blueprint of where you have been. It is a snapshot in time.

Then, last year, ten days before competing at The Skin Games, I slipped and broke my shoulder.

Ten days.

After months of documenting treatments, filming content, refining protocols, and pouring my entire heart into my case studies, I had to stop. Completely. Again.

And if I am honest, that was not the first time life forced me to pause while I was building momentum.

Has it been a smooth road?

No.

It has been a road of pivots. Of healing. Of rebuilding. Of surrendering when I wanted to push forward.

Breaking my shoulder was not only physical. For someone whose hands are her craft — whose work is lymphatic flow, sculptural lifting, and nervous system regulation — it felt like the universe asking, “Do you trust your path, even when it pauses you?”

I had to sit still.
I had to heal.
I had to watch others continue while I recalibrated.

That is not easy for someone wired to create, build, and move.

But every pause deepened my practice.

It refined my philosophy.
It strengthened my why.
It made me more compassionate — not only with clients, but with myself.

And this year, I am a finalist in two categories at The Skin Games: New Esthetician and Compassion. Both of the categories I submitted advanced. The winners will be announced in March in Dallas.

Regardless of the outcome, standing there after everything it took to get here already feels like a victory.

Because this story was never about a trophy.

It has always been about resilience. About returning after being knocked down. About integration. About trusting the path even when it interrupts you.

Sometimes the setback is the initiation.

This year, I do not show up as the woman who broke her shoulder.

I show up as the woman who rebuilt, integrated every lesson, and kept going.

Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
At the core of my work is integration. I combine spiritual retreats, energy work, and advanced skincare to bring you back to whole. Healing does not start with the skin. By the time the skin shows signs of misalignment, it has already been manifesting internally. You cannot have healthy skin without healing from within. The skin is a blueprint of where you have been. It is a snapshot in time.

When you step into this space, the outcome is not only healthier skin. It is a regulated nervous system, softened tension, and a deeper connection to yourself.

Treatments are designed to help the body shift out of stress mode and into restoration. Facial muscles release. Lymphatic flow improves. Inflammation calms. The skin barrier strengthens. Contours appear more lifted and defined, not from force, but from improved circulation, drainage, and structural support.

The skincare used is clean, non-toxic, and intentionally curated, ranging from botanical formulations to advanced clinical-grade actives. The focus is long-term skin integrity, not temporary correction. Barrier health is protected. Sensitivity is respected. Results are progressive and sustainable.

Clients often notice deeper sleep, reduced facial and jaw tension, less puffiness and fluid retention, brighter and more even tone, a natural rested lift, and emotional clarity and grounding.

The experience feels safe and unrushed. There is space to be heard. Space to exhale. Space to recalibrate. Instead of feeling worked on, clients feel supported.

Being named a finalist in two categories at The Skin Games, New Esthetician and Compassion, reflects this philosophy. The work is not only about visible transformation. It is about care that is precise, intentional, and human.

Skin is never treated in isolation. The nervous system is considered. Emotional stress patterns are acknowledged. The result is not only brighter skin, it is a person who feels nourished, balanced, and able to GLO from within.

How do you think about luck?
Luck has shown up in my life, but not in the way most people think.

If you look at the outside, you could say it was bad luck to slip and break my shoulder ten days before competing at The Skin Games. You could say it was bad luck to have momentum paused more than once while building my business. You could say it was bad luck to face health challenges, family loss, or moments where everything felt uncertain.

But those moments shaped the depth of my work.

What looked like bad luck forced refinement. It forced patience. It forced humility. It forced me to strengthen systems, boundaries, and belief in myself. It deepened my compassion and strengthened my resilience. It taught me how to lead from alignment instead of urgency.

As for good luck, I don’t see it as random either.

Being surrounded by people, family, and friends who believed in my art more than I could have asked for has been a gift beyond measure. Their support during setbacks, their encouragement when I doubted, and their willingness to stand beside me while I rebuilt has felt like grace. Having clients who trust deeply. Becoming a finalist in two categories this year after having to withdraw last year. Those moments could be labeled good luck.

I see them as preparation meeting opportunity.

What role has luck played? It has been the plot twist, not the foundation.

The foundation has been consistency, faith, recalibration, and a willingness to rise after interruption.

In business especially, luck might open a door, but character determines whether you are ready to walk through it.

If anything, what people call luck in my life has often been initiation. Every setback expanded capacity. Every delay clarified direction. Every obstacle strengthened conviction.

So luck has played a role, but resilience, community, and unwavering support have played a bigger one.
