Hi, I’m Belia Yajaira Cortes — founder of Recharge Oxford, a mom of four, and someone who knows what it feels like to rebuild from the inside out.

 

I’ve spent the past 20 years working in molecular diagnostics, with a degree in Biomedical Sciences and a deep respect for the power of science. But for a long time, I wasn’t applying that same care to my own health. Like many of us, I was doing my best to keep up with life — until my body finally asked me to slow down and listen.

 

In 2022, I began exploring functional medicine, listening to podcasts, running tests, and learning how to support my body on a deeper level. That journey paused when I lost my mother to cancer in late 2023 — and then turned personal when I was diagnosed with cancer myself in early 2024. At the same time, I lost my job — a moment that felt like everything was falling apart, but in truth, it opened a door.

 

With the weight of financial stress and the urgency of healing, I began researching alternative therapies that could support my recovery. That’s when I discovered the regenerative power of red light therapy, infrared sauna, lymphatic compression, and other modalities — not as luxuries, but as lifelines.

 

Recharge Oxford was born from this experience. It’s a space I wish I had when I was searching for answers — a place rooted in both science and compassion. A space for real people on real healing journeys.

 

I’m still healing. I’m still learning. And I’m still showing my kids what it means to take care of yourself, even when it’s hard. This isn’t just a business to me — it’s my purpose. It’s a second home. And I hope that when you walk through our doors, it feels like a safe and welcoming space for you, too.

 

Whether you're just starting your wellness journey or picking yourself back up again, I’m honored to be part of it.

 

Welcome to Recharge Oxford.
