Meet The Team

Meet Tanya:

Resident Mermaid, Dog Mom, and Silversmith Extraordinaire

When not holding it down full-time at a busy plastic surgery practice, Tanya is either near the water, dreaming of it, or planning the next seaside escape. A true water baby at heart, sunshine and ocean breeze are essential ingredients for a perfect day off—or a perfect vacation.

At home, life revolves around Penelope and Tank, her two lovable pups who provide equal parts joy and chaos. Penelope is the wild child with a soft spot for stuffed animals, and Tank is the food-loving senior with an old soul and a heart of gold.

Outside of work, Tanya channels her creativity into Yemaya Mermaids. When the fire and tools are down, you'll either find her shopping, paddle boarding to soak up the sun; one peaceful glide at a time, sipping tequila, or trying out a new Japanese beer, most likely alongside her partner-in-crime, Nathaly. Together, they’re often up to mischief—of the very best kind. 

Whether she’s crafting with fire and silver, strolling on long walks with her pups, hanging out with her family, paddle boarding into the sunset, or just relaxing at home, Tanya brings vibrant energy, a love for the little things, and a salty soul to everything she does.

Meet Nathaly:

Tattooed Trendsetter, Dog Mama x8, Mom to 1 Human, & Brewery Explorer

Nathaly is the kind of person who lights up every room she walks into. By day, she’s a rockstar at a bustling pediatrics office—bringing care, confidence, and a touch of flair to every family she meets.

Outside the office, her world bursts with movement and color. Known for her bold style and eye-catching tattoos, Nathaly is a trendsetter who never blends in. She’s a brewery regular, always ready to discover a new craft beer, try the latest restaurant, or spend quality time with her close-knit family.

In recent years, Nathaly has also found a creative outlet in leather-work, crafting unique pieces that reflect her western edge and artistic spirit. What started as a hobby quickly became a passion, blending craftsmanship, style, and self-expression into every design.

Travel is always on the agenda—whether it’s a spontaneous weekend road trip or a faraway adventure. With a heart as big as her dog pack, Nathaly is a devoted animal lover, savvy shopper, and someone who knows how to turn everyday moments into mini adventures.

If she’s not chasing sunsets, working on her next leather project, or hunting for her next foodie find, she’s probably making memories with her daughter and partner-in-crime, Tanya
