The Southwest Institute of Healing Arts – 2018
I’ve been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2018. I graduated from Southwest Institute of Healing Arts in Tempe, Arizona. My manual lymphatic drainage certification and reiki practice allows me to work beyond the borders of Arizona.
I specialize overall in customized relaxation and customized therapy. Nothing wrong with adding a little Lomi Lomi to a deep tissue session, combining both worlds into one! I was recently certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage and I never realized how much people need MLD in their lives. I look forward to working with clients who need it.
My next goal as a therapist is to dive deeper into the world of sports! I want to help veteran athletes and active athletes remain feeling like gladiators! In this coming year it is my goal to focus on kinesiology, stretch therapy, and even strength training. Don’t be surprised if you catch me becoming a certified personal trainer!
I admire the art of massage! Combining all modalities into one session, uniquely crafting a session to each body. The very ‘sport’ of helping the client surrender is the most fun I have at work. Nothing is more gratifying than to see the clients’ improvements and their gratitude. I also love to collaborate with personal trainers, physical therapists, doctors, chiropractors, and other medical professionals to help better guide clients to accomplish their goals.
I am an artist at heart. Outside of massage I love to draw, color, and paint! I’m currently a hyper-realistic celebrity portrait artist and I enjoy visiting celebrities to get their portrait signed. The celebrities I’m drawn to are rockstars and movie stars, and athletes.
In this lifetime, I desire to open an art studio to provide art therapy and art classes for those who want to improve themselves and break away from their depressions, anxieties, and art blockages.

Arizona College of Massage Therapy – 2023
My name is Mercedez and I have been a licensed massage therapist since 2023. I am honored to assist you on your journey in humble loving servitude.
My healing passions consist of a professional dedicated practice of health & self-care, movement oriented total body wellness, strengthening & realignments, along with over 15 massage modalities. All of these foundational elements are alchemized to bring you a unique & unforgettable experience that will leave you feeling loved, peaceful, and truly alive.
One of my favorite massage techniques is working with the feet. They are critical to our balance, bearing the weight of our body yet, they are the least pampered part of us. I aim to increase blood circulation in the feet and strategically address reflexology points to decrease pain throughout other areas of the body.
I am most excited to continue my clinical education so I can keep learning and growing. Pelvic floor disorders, SI joint pain, sciatica and TMJ coursework is on the horizon and I can’t wait to be able to start incorporating all these techniques into my bodywork sessions.
The goal for my clients is always the same, that you leave my treatment room feeling renewed, revived, and restored. I look forward to meeting you. Blessings!

Carrington College – 2013
Whether it’s through massage therapy, Reiki, or other forms of holistic healing, I am constantly seeking out new ways to help others in their journey towards wellness.
My name is KaTia, I believe that healing is a holistic process, encompassing the mind, body, and spirit. That’s why my approach to healing always takes into consideration all aspects of a person’s well-being. I am committed to creating a safe and comfortable space for my clients, where they can let go of their worries and stresses and find peace and rejuvenation. I am constantly educating myself on new techniques and modalities in order to provide the best possible care for my clients. Incorporating traditional healing practices along with modern techniques is something I look forward to in every session to create a comprehensive and personalized treatment plan for each individual.
To me, there is nothing more rewarding than seeing my clients leave feeling better than when they came in. Knowing that I have played a part in someone’s healing journey brings me immense joy and fulfillment. I am grateful for the opportunity to use my passion and skills to make a positive impact on others’ lives and I believe that healing is a powerful and transformative process, and I am honored to be a part of it.
A bit of my personal background……I wanted to become a massage therapist because of my Great Grandmother. She and my Great Grandfather raised my siblings and I. Unfortunately, my Great grandmother went through many back surgeries. Some of my best childhood memories are of my Great Grandmother and I giving each other back rubs. She told me that I have healing hands and ever since then I believed her. So I became a massage therapist.
I attended Carrington College and received my massage therapy license in 2013. There I learned many modalities and after obtaining my license I continued to practice deep tissue massage, sports massage and prenatal massage. In the past 11 years, I have learned and practiced many more modalities to sharpen my skills. Myofascial release and stretch therapy have been my go to as I have seen a great amount of relief based off of client’s reviews!

Cortiva Institute with MBLEx – 2015
My massage career started after a short stint in sales and marketing, I realized that I
needed to be a bit more creative, physical, and work more closely with people. While raising 2
athletic boys that were constantly using their bodies to compete, I discovered my curiosity for
anatomy, physiology and kinesiology.
I attended massage therapy school and passed the MBLEx exam in the Chicago-land
area. After a cross-country move, I became licensed in Arizona in 2016. Since then, I’ve also
obtained my manual lymphatic drainage certification and enjoy working with clients to move
excess fluid and reduce inflammation through use of the Vodder technique.
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Science in Integrative Health from
Arizona State University and I am currently pursuing a Master of Science in Acupuncture.
My favorite massage modalities include cupping, gua-sha, PNF and trigger point work. I
tend to blend multiple therapeutic modalities and mix in some relaxation techniques so you
leave feeling relieved AND relaxed. The levator is my favorite muscle to work on and any
dysfunction in the posterior chain has my name written all over it.
I am a life-long learner and am thankful to be working in a field that requires constant
education and encourages evidence-based practice.
