She began working as a manager for a local Aveda salon chain before winning a scholarship to go to the Aveda Institute de Bellas Artes where she was the head of her class. A long time passion for beauty, skin care, and achieving the perfect eyebrow lead her to gaining her licensure with the state of New Mexico in Permanent Makeup Tattooing. Hundreds of hours of specialized training in microblading, permanent make up, and tattoo removal soon followed.

Sabine Otero, LMT

MASSAGE THERAPIST

Sabine is a licensed massage therapist who has served the greater Albuquerque area since 2007. She has completed advanced training in a wide range of modalities, including deep tissue, neuromuscular therapy, and other evidence-informed techniques. Her practice is grounded in a clinical understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and pain management, allowing her to design highly effective, outcome-based treatment plans for each client. Sabine entered the field of massage therapy after transitioning from a traditional business environment. While initially drawn to the profession for its flexibility, she quickly discovered a deep affinity for therapeutic bodywork and has since devoted herself to helping clients manage pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall well-being. Over the course of her career, Sabine has worked in both clinical and spa settings throughout Valencia and Bernalillo counties. Her experience includes collaboration with other health professionals to support clients dealing with chronic conditions, postural imbalances, repetitive stress injuries, and recovery from physical trauma. Sabine joined Harper’s Valley Spa after connecting with owner Audrey Harper during a professional bodywork exchange. Their shared values in client care and therapeutic excellence led to an immediate and lasting professional partnership. Her approach to massage is personalized and data-informed. Each session is tailored to meet the specific musculoskeletal needs of the client, with a focus on therapeutic outcomes and long-term wellness. Sabine is committed to ongoing professional development and brings both skill and clinical insight to every treatment she provides

Laila Thomas

I’m a licensed esthetician and proud graduate of the Aveda Institute of New Mexico, Class of 2023. My journey into the world of skincare has been rooted in a deep passion for wellness, self-care, and helping others feel confident in their skin.

I’m incredibly excited to join the team at Harper’s Valley Spa, where I’ll be continuing to grow both personally and professionally. For me, being an esthetician is more than just providing treatments- it’s about creating a space where clients feel seen, supported, and genuinely cared for.

Building meaningful connections and helping people feel their best is what I love most about this work. I’m committed to ongoing education and staying up to date with the latest techniques, so I can offer customized, effective treatments that reflect each client’s unique needs.

I look forward to meeting you and being part of your self-care journey!
