In this episode of Makers of the Corentyne, we sit with Marcela Amanda Baron, founder of Ultimate Body Sculpting GY, whose work centers on confidence, discipline, and embodied care.
Rooted in Berbice, Marcela represents a new generation of Guyanese makers expanding how labor and care are understood. Her practice extends beyond physical sculpting. It is structured around education, intentionality, and helping clients relate to their bodies without shame or apology.
In a region where conversations around beauty and wellness are often quiet or stigmatized, her work introduces clarity. Self-care is framed not as indulgence, but as responsibility, internal and external.
“This isn’t about perfection,” she explains. “It’s about learning to love your body fully and carry yourself with confidence.”
As a Berbician woman and entrepreneur, she situates wellness within place. Pride in origin and pride in self are not separate categories. They operate together.
Makers of the Corentyne documents this evolving landscape of work in Berbice, where labor includes not only bread, gold, and land, but also the disciplined practice of self.
Berbice Peace®.
