Inside MAORAN: Alejandro Plascencia’s Vision for Longevity That Goes Beyond Lifespan

Most wellness centers focus on what you can see, diet plans, detoxes, skin treatments, and fitness hacks. The assumption? If the body looks good, the rest will follow.

But Alejandro Plascencia saw a deeper crisis unfolding behind closed doors. Executives, entrepreneurs, and high performers looked healthy on the outside but were breaking inside. Anxiety, burnout, and emotional numbness were silently eroding lives, even as careers soared.

That disconnect pushed Alejandro to create something different. In 2007, after stepping away from a successful corporate career, he founded MAORAN Wellness Center in Leon, Guanajuato, Mexico. His goal was not just to extend people’s lives, but to improve the experience of living. Today, MAORAN serves clients across Mexico and the United States, helping them recover not only their energy but their sense of self.

MAORAN's approach blends emotional clarity with longevity science. This is not surface-level wellness. The center works at the intersection of physical health, mental well-being, and long-term vitality. Clients are supported through tailored anti-aging treatments, emotional wellness tools, and education designed for those who quietly carry the weight of high responsibility.

The center’s mission is clear: to offer high-quality, science-backed services that help people not just survive, but truly feel alive. The treatments and programs are personalized, respecting each person’s unique journey. Whether someone is in their 30s facing burnout or in their 60s looking to reset, MAORAN meets them with real support, not cliches.

Alejandro’s insight comes from experience, not theory. Before MAORAN, he worked at the top levels of business leadership in Mexico and the U.S., overseeing international operations, strategy, and logistics. The pressure to keep performing led to emotional and physical exhaustion. That turning point reshaped his life. He studied psychotherapy and eventually wrote Surviving Me, a raw, honest book about the cost of chasing success while losing yourself in the process.

MAORAN was built from the same truth: healing is not weakness, it’s a form of leadership. Alejandro knew that many leaders were stuck in survival mode, afraid to admit they were struggling. At MAORAN, there is no pressure to pretend everything is fine. Instead, there is space to pause, reflect, and rebuild, intentionally.

The center is grounded in values that reflect this approach: excellence, personalized care, innovation, ethics, and respect for human dignity. Privacy is also a cornerstone; many clients are high-profile individuals who value discretion just as much as results.

What sets MAORAN apart is the emotional depth behind its wellness philosophy. It doesn’t treat burnout like a temporary glitch or aging like a cosmetic problem. It views both as signals, indicators that something deeper needs to change.

And the change is real. Over the years, MAORAN has helped hundreds of people find their way back to themselves, professionals who were close to collapse, entrepreneurs struggling with legacy pressure, and individuals who simply wanted to feel human again. The center has grown, but its heart has remained rooted in Alejandro’s original mission: to bring clarity, vitality, and meaning to people’s lives.

Now operating across borders, MAORAN continues to expand its reach, offering its integrated services in the United States. But even with its growth, it’s still a place where success doesn’t mean self-sacrifice, and where healing is treated not as indulgence, but necessity.

Alejandro Plascencia built MAORAN to be more than a wellness brand. It’s a reminder that your life is allowed to feel good from the inside out, and that longevity is not just about adding years, but making those years count.
