My Story: How Zensations Was Born — and Why Your Support Matters

Me (Felipe), in my Home Studio

Nearly four years ago, I moved to Germany with a heart full of hope and a dream of building a new life from the ground up. I dedicated my first year to learning the language, embracing the culture, and passing my integration exams with a proud 98%. I was ready to conquer the world.

But life, as it often does, had other plans.

Despite tireless months—and eventually years—of job hunting, I faced rejection after rejection. Each “no” chipped away at my confidence and weighed heavily on my mental health. I rewrote my CV countless times, applied for roles I wasn’t passionate about, and still heard the same disheartening words: “You’re not qualified enough.” I felt invisible, and anxiety and depression took root.

But at my lowest, I made a decision: I would not surrender my future to circumstances. I didn’t turn to government assistance—not because I judged it, but because I deeply respect where those funds come from: your hard-earned tax contributions. Instead, I made a different choice. I looked inward and asked myself, “What can I offer the world with what I already have?”

That’s how Zensations was born.

With just 100 euros, a second-hand massage bed, a few oils, and an unwavering dream, I took a leap. Slowly but surely, thanks to your trust and support, what started as a humble offering grew into something much greater—a sanctuary where people come not just to relax, but to heal, to breathe, and to reconnect with themselves.

Every upgrade in my studio, every thoughtful detail, every soothing scent—none of it would be possible without you. Your continued loyalty and encouragement have transformed Zensations into more than a small business; it’s a shared journey of resilience, care, and community.

I also want to take a moment to thank you for your patience during the times I’ve had to cancel or reschedule appointments. I do my best every day, but I’m human too. I get sick, I make mistakes, and I learn. Your understanding means the world to me.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of this story. When you support Zensations, you're not just booking a massage—you’re uplifting a dream, a life rebuilt, and a business rooted in purpose.

With gratitude,

Felipe
