Dr. Mary Jane “MJ” Torres: The ZEN Woman Who Inspire


When we do open talks about people who inspire people, a lot of popular names will definitely come out. In the local scene, particularly “women who inspire” in the genre of Aesthetic Medicine, one name cannot be missed out.

Recently awarded by Solar Publishing as one of the “Women Who Inspire”, Dr. Mary Jane Torres, or Dra. “MJ” to her league of friends and clients, is one that exudes what true beauty is all about. The woman behind the continuous success of The Zen Institute continues to be an inspiration to many.

“The inspiration springs from my four children. They keep me going. And when I see my patients look and feel good about themselves, then that’s where I revved up!” shares Dra. MJ.

Since the entry of The Zen Institute, with such revolutionary, innovative changes being adapted in Aesthetic Medicine, women of this generation began to experience and realize what true beauty is all about.

According to Dra. MJ, true beauty goes beyond quick fixes. True beauty is a journey towards self-improvement, wellness, self-realization and transformation. “Achieving true beauty is an art and also therapy. You can’t have self-realization overnight. It takes time,” she said.

If she were to describe the concept of a beautiful woman, it is “beauty from within, positive outlook, cares about herself, healthy lifestyle, caring& loving. All these radiates to the outside.”

Wellness is at the core of all programs at The Zen Institute. Using the latest medical beauty advances, and most up-to-the-minute technologies, clients are able to look, feel and live their best! – without surgery, pain, scars and downtime. 

How does she keep up with the competitive and dynamic industry that she belongs to? “Constant research and development, aligning with the European countries. This way, we keep the edge.” 

Among the services of Zen, their Non-Surgical Facelift and Contour (PRP & PCL) is the most in demand and most tested. While the latest breakthrough is Zen’s Power Cell Lift. 

The Power Cell Lift is a new lifting technique which injects multiple threads for strong lifting effect, enhancing cell engraftment to the treatment areas.

These non-invasive aesthetic treatments at The Zen Institute are also opportunities for a deeper therapy for patients, such becoming part and parcel of their total wellness program. This is something you cannot achieve with surgical approaches. Dra. MJ adds, “even if your appearance is enhanced through surgery, but if you don’t know how to appreciate your true worth, you will still be an unhappy person.” 

One that constitutes her greatest achievements in the beauty and wellness industry is having established the first “medical spa”- The Zen Institute -merging the concept of spa and medical facility. This underlines total wellness approach which is more than simply aesthetics, seen in most of their programs like weight management and detoxification, anti-aging with non-invasive facelift and body contouring. 

Dra. MJ’s unique approach to total wellness is “further strengthen through Vietura and true concept of a medical spa thru the facilities of the Zen Institute, reaching out to the outskirts like Zen Institute Batangas branch.” 

Vietura (Aesthetic Lifestyle) is about finding the interconnection between aesthetic procedures, integrative medicine and lifestyle coaching. The Zen Institute speaks of the true concept and commitment of a medical spa, non invasive and holistic in approach.



In terms of expansion, Zen Institute’s Scout Rallos branch in Quezon City will have a 500sq facility to provide a full spa service, aesthetic treatment, and wellness center. This is on top of their full line-up of exciting promos, signature programs and new endorsements.

The unique touch, “creative masterpiece” of Zen is seen in the likes of Ayen Laurel, Franco Laurel, Eula Valdez, Korina Sanchez, Giselle Sanchez, Chanda Romero, Gina Alajar, Cory Quirino, Rene Salud, Philip Abadicio, Ciara Sotto, Lyn Sherman, Vicky Rashton (Mutya ng Pilipinas 2011), Rizzini Alexis Gomez (Mutya ng Pilipinas 2012), to name a few.

The Zen Institute is located at the Ground Floor, Bonifacio Technology Center, 31st Street corner 2nd Avenue, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig City (856-2027), with branches at 69 Scout Rallos St., Tomas Morato, Quezon City (441-1712; 412-2528), or at the St. Frances Cabrini Medical Center, Maharlika Highway, Barangay 2, Sto.

Think Barley, Think Santé

Nowadays the trend is to go natural and be cautious about your health condition. It is because most of the food we take in no longer comes from natural sources, that is, they are genetically-grown accordingly.  Thus, the importance of supplement, in particular organic supplement.

Is there a 100 percent pure organic supplement?” ask the health conscious. Santé International, Inc., sole resource of organic wellness products in the country not only responds to the question but provides a solution—pure barley grass (hordeumvulgare) in whole food concentrate form.



Santé Barley Pure New Zealand (encapsulated barley) and Santé Pure Barley New Zealand (powdered barley in sachet) are just two of the company’s best products produced using only young barley grass ingredients that are grown and cultivated in the fertile plains of Canterbury, New Zealand where irrigation water is clean and the environment is regarded as one of the world’s least polluted.

“The need to take synthetic supplements just to keep pace over demanding lifestyles should take rest. Resort to products that are certain in quality and freshness and created for numerous health benefits,” says Jesus Joey Marcelo, Chief Executive Officer of Santé International, Inc. 

Barley company as health authority

All barley products of Santé comply with New Zealand’s leading organic certification agency, BioGro New Zealand, Ltd., which means that its entire product line’s exceptional properties contain no unsafe levels of heavy metal, herbicide, and insecticide residues for its wide array of consumers—from babies to adults.

BioGro is accredited by the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements (IFOAM) and uses a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystem and people. It only relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, thus, no chemicals are utilized to dictate or force the number of harvests.

The young barley grass used in Santé products are guaranteed fresh once harvested in its height of 30 centimeters, which is perfect because this is when nutrients are highly concentrated. It is then immediately transported to the manufacturing plant for drying, milling and packing. The 1-6 hour duration between harvest and drying of fresh barley leaves using a patented process assure preservation of vitamins, mineral, enzymes and amino acids. 

With these processing attributes, Santé consumers are confident they are buying only products that meet the highest standards in organic agriculture and health value. “We want our shareholders to have a feel of certainty every time they use, sell or rave about our products,” explains Marcelo.

Above its products’ meticulous manufacturing processes and health benefits, the company also has a competitive advantage with regard to direct marketing. It allows distributors and franchise operators to register using the Internet and transfer rebates to bank accounts through online bonus disbursement, repeat orders, payment of distributors' sales, and disbursement of virtual money (League Wallet) from rebates to buy Santé and various Air Load Products.

“I am thankful to Santé because it has done tremendous things in my life, not only does it protect my health but it does the same for my business,” shares Edwin M. Guevarra, one of the company’s top achievers in its Executive Millionaires Circle (EMC). “Santé helps me live my dreams, it is the greatest company anyone could ever be a part of,” Mr. Guevarra adds.

“Ordinaryong tao lang ako pero dahil sa Santé naranasan ko at ng pamilya ko ang buhay milyonaryo,” Johnny P. Francisco shares in vernacular, also one of the company’s top achievers in EMC. “Thank God! I’m on grass!”

Just recently, Santé International Inc. introduced its newest campaign where they would want more people to be "High On Grass" and enjoy the outstanding benefits of young barley grass not only for better health but also better business opportunities.

“Santé is focused on enhancing the entrepreneurial spirit of our stakeholders through business development classes, leadership training and teamwork enhancement and we hope our new campaign nets more people to be 'high on grass' for better health and well-being,” expounds Marcelo. “We also encourage students who want to venture into distribution to have an on-the-job training with us in order to hone their business skills and be part of a financially empowered community.”
