The Love Story and Origins of Orchard

Our Story

At Orchard Med Spa, the story began with a simple vision—a desire to create a place where individuals could not only enhance their natural beauty but also cultivate self-confidence, joy, and well-being. The journey was inspired by Lisa’s passion for beauty and wellness, and her dream of establishing a space that would be a sanctuary for others. Her husband, Ted, shared in this vision, offering his expertise in business and finance to help turn their dream into a reality. The couple, both captivated by the beauty of the Colorado landscape and the vibrant community around them, knew it was time to create something lasting—something that would be uniquely their own. Together, they immersed themselves in building the dream. With each step, Orchard Med Spa evolved from an idea to a blueprint, ready to take form.

In May of 2012, Orchard Med Spa was born. The couple took a leap of faith, investing their savings into a property at 3740 Dacoro Lane, where they would build the spa from the ground up. With the support of their families, the broader community, and a shared vision, Orchard Med Spa opened its doors, offering a range of aesthetic services aimed at enhancing the natural beauty of each individual.

The name “Orchard” was chosen with care, inspired by the Manzanares family heritage. "Manzanares" translates to “apple orchard” in Spanish, reflecting Ted’s deep-rooted Hispanic American heritage. The orchard symbolizes both the growth of their own family and the nurturing environment they hoped to create for their clients—a place where beauty, confidence, and self-care could thrive.

Since that first spring, the team at Orchard Med Spa has remained committed to a single mission: to provide exceptional, personalized care that enhances the natural beauty of every client who walks through their doors. What began as a small, intimate practice has blossomed into a thriving medical spa, with a dedicated team of professionals who share in the same values of care, expertise, and trust. The spa has been fortunate to earn the loyalty of clients from Castle Rock and beyond, growing alongside them as their needs and expectations have evolved.

The team at Orchard Med Spa has always seen their role not just as providers of beauty treatments, but as partners in helping clients feel more confident, radiant, and at ease in their own skin. From its humble beginnings, the spa has grown into an award-winning practice, achieving platinum status with industry partners and continuously expanding its offerings to meet the diverse needs of its clients.

Looking ahead, Orchard Med Spa remains dedicated to nurturing the growth and well-being of every individual they serve. For the team, it’s more than just a business—it’s a calling. It is a privilege to have been welcomed into the lives of so many wonderful people, and they look forward to continuing to serve the Castle Rock community for many years to come.

Here’s to the next chapter, with gratitude for the journey so far and excitement for what lies ahead.
