Emily Menendez

Credentials:

I am licensed by the California Massage Therapy Council as a Massage Practitioner.

Cert # 5309

Training/Education:

I attended the Hands on Healing Institute in Tujunga, California.

I currently have over 330 hours of schooling including hands on and lecture.

Between 2008 and 2010 I have completed over 200 massage sessions and counting.

 

Practice Philosophy:

I believe that massage is the perfect way to achieve a better quality of life.  Your body is a temple and needs regular maintenance to keep up with the hectic world around you. Therapeutic massage is more than pampering.  It is a tool to improve your body, mind and spirit. This includes your health, self-esteem, and attitude.

 

Why I do what I do:

I was raised with a mother who strongly believed in regular massage and healthy living even before she was diagnosed with MS.  Her mother (my grandmother) also loved massage and was constantly self-educating herself with books and videos.  I decided to continue this generational adoration even after a BA at Azusa Pacific University and receive a formal education and certification. Nurturing this gift in massage has proved to be a very rewarding and fulfilling decision.

 

A little bit about me: hobbies, family, interests

Aside from massage I am a strong believer in health. The health of good relationships (my husband, my family, my friends), the health of eating right, the health of exercise, the health of sleeping 8+ hours at night :), and very importantly, the health of my relationship with God. All of these things make me who I am today and I am better for it.
