The philosophy of "safety first and tender loving care" is the core of Privé Retreat, a vision Gracie Flores has championed for over two decades. After spending 18 years mastering every facet of the business—from coordinating with world-renowned plastic surgeons to providing hands-on recovery support—Gracie officially took the helm as Owner on August 1, 2020.
Gracie’s journey is a testament to the "American Dream." Originally from Mexico City, she brought with her an incredible work ethic and a deep-seated passion for helping others. Today, she is recognized by guests and top-tier surgeons alike for her professional integrity, kindness, and extensive knowledge of post-operative care.
"My goal is to treat everyone as a VIP, respecting their privacy while providing a serene, beautiful environment to heal," says Gracie. "It comes down to the basics of treating others the way you would like to be treated—with a focus on health, beauty, and absolute comfort."
Under Gracie’s leadership, Privé Retreat continues to set the gold standard for aftercare in Orange County. She remains dedicated to learning the latest recovery techniques to ensure her guests receive a level of care that is truly "off the charts."
When she isn't at the retreat, Gracie is an avid athlete who enjoys cycling, running, and working out. She has a deep love for exploration, and enjoys traveling from Lake Louise in Canada all the way to Patagonia, Argentina, enjoys the beaches, the mountain scenery, the beautiful nature.
Above all, she cherishes every moment spent with her husband, Jose, her two children, and her granddaughters. Her home life is made even brighter by her two dogs: Sol, the German Shepherd, and Sielo, the Belgian Malinois.
With a heart for service and a commitment to excellence, Gracie ensures that every guest at Privé Retreat feels safe, pampered, and perfectly cared for.
