Rosa Crespo

Founder Maison Kaizen

Rosa Crespo is an international influencer and the founder of Maison Kaizen. For the past 15 years, she has lived between London and New York City, building a global, multi-cultural community rooted in beauty, wellness, and intentional living.

Fluent in five languages, Rosa is deeply passionate about Pilates, matcha rituals, gastronomy, and all things beauty. Known among friends as the go-to for skincare and hair advice, she blends insider beauty knowledge with a holistic approach to wellbeing. Through Maison Kaizen, Rosa curates immersive retreat experiences designed to help people slow down, reconnect, and bring wellness into real, everyday life.

During this interview series, Rosa is opening a safe, transparent space with her community, bringing together talented, diverse voices to talk honestly about wellness and how to apply it within busy modern lifestyles.

Q: What inspired you to create this interview series with your community?

I wanted to create a safe space where we can speak honestly about wellness, not the perfect version you see online, but how we actually live it day to day. My community is incredibly diverse and talented, and I felt it was important to share real conversations that people can truly relate to.

Q: What does wellness mean to you personally?

Wellness is alignment. It’s taking care of your body, mind, and energy while still enjoying life. It’s consistency over perfection.

Q: How do you bring wellbeing into your everyday life while living between cities?

I keep simple rituals wherever I am: Pilates, matcha in the morning, skincare routines, good food, and moments of quiet. Even five minutes of presence can change your day.

Q: Beauty is a big part of your world. How does it connect to wellness for you?

Beauty is self-care. When you take time for your skin or hair, you’re telling yourself you matter. It’s not vanity, it’s connection to yourself.

Q: What do you hope people take away from Maison Kaizen and this community?

That wellness is accessible. You don’t need to change your whole life overnight. Small intentional habits can create big shifts, and you don’t have to do it alone.

Q: What are your current can’t-live-without rituals or products?

Pilates Maison Kaizen socks, AWA matcha Collab with Kaizen, my Dyson, a simple skincare routine La Praire, Augustinus Baeder and Natura Bisse, nourishing meals, scapes to Mayrlife for guy reset & to SHA wellness, and protecting moments of stillness. Anything that helps me feel grounded and balanced.
