NMR Practitioner

As a mother, healer, small business owner, former corporate professional, and life-long student, Ana understands the demands of “life”! She is here to help provide therapeutic relief to muscle aches and pain caused by stress, overuse, or previous injuries. She uniquely integrates Western and Eastern modalities to help restore healthy flow throughout the body, so that a client can return to the daily activities he/she enjoys doing and move through life as desired.

As a Georgia (# MT011265) Licensed & CA Certified (# 48194) Massage Therapist, Ana integrates Advanced Neuromuscular Massage Therapy with her training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, yoga, qigong, energy work, and meditation to help her clients lead balanced and healthier lives. She is trained to restore the bodyʼs natural ability to heal by holistically attending to the physical, mental & spiritual well-being of her clients. With this training, her experience working in chiropractic, fitness, wellness, and spa settings, and specializing in working with neck, shoulder, and back pain, she is a critical element of the integrative approach to CMED to Conscious Medicine’s lifestyle management practice.

Ana’s healing journey started with practicing meditation in the late 1990s. Her personal experience with acupuncture, chiropractic care, yoga, and integrative bodywork treatments brought much-needed relief to her chronic neck and shoulder tightness, low back and hip pain, jaw tension, and teeth grinding issues. After experiencing marked improvement in her own health, Ana was inspired to learn more and help others experience the benefits of mind-body medicine. In 2004, Ana started her graduate training in Traditional Chinese Medicine in Los Angeles, California, and later continued her studies in Northern California. She has 10+ years of training in Acupuncture, Chinese herbs and nutrition, and several Asian bodywork modalities, including Tuina, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Thai Massage, and energetic healing arts such as Qigong and Feng Shui. She integrates her natural gift of healing touch, training in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and several therapeutic massage and bodywork styles to help facilitate the bodyʼs natural ability to heal and regain balance.

In addition to Neuromuscular Rebalancing Massage Therapy, Ana currently teaches kids and adult yoga and holds a Master's degree in Integrative Functional Nutrition. She is a certified Advanced Neuromuscular Massage Therapy and Health Educator (1350 hours) from the National Holistic Institute in Southern California and received her Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, San Diego.
