Amy Benitez

A Hoosier at heart, Amy Benitez brings that midwestern welcoming vibe to the DMV. Amy is our Brand Ambassador and puts to words what team ZEN is achieving in the salon. She is our behind the scenes writer who helps us with publications, emails, social media and so much more. Amy is from Munster, Indiana and attended Indiana University for both undergraduate and graduate school. She has a M.A. in Speech-Language Pathology and works for a private practice as a pediatric SLP. When she is not working as a therapist or doing creative writing for ZEN, she relishes in spending time with her two children, Reesa and Cruz, and her husband, Greg. If you see Amy, chances are she will be wearing purple (or butterflies) in honor of her mom. Since losing her mom to pancreatic cancer in 2019, she's been an avid proponent of raising awareness and funds to help give others more life. She loves all things beauty and fashion and finds that working for ZEN gives her a creative release that she had always wanted. A lover of ZEN and language, writing for ZEN comes naturally to this beauty.
