My name is Mariela Rodriguez.  I was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1983.⁠ ⁠ In 2003 I obtained a Bachelor’s Degree in Performing Arts at the National University of Tucumán, Argentina. During those years, I also learned the meaning of being present in our own body, in awareness and harmony, and how important touch is to connect the body, mind and spirit.⁠ ⁠ Body movement and Art made part of a personal process of growth and integral healing that brought me closer and closer to my health related mission. Art was my first tool to heal and help people healing.⁠ ⁠ In 2009 I began my studies in Chinese Medicine at the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Buenos Aires, graduating in 2012 as a Massage Therapist in Tuina (Chinese Massage, Acupressure). I took separate classes on "Chinese Medicine and Conscious Food” I also completed the Three Levels of Reiki in the traditional Usui system. Since 2010 I worked as a Tuina massage therapist and reiki healer in private practices in Argentina.⁠ ⁠ In 2012 I became a mother for the first time and moved to the United States. Being a full-time mother for 6 years in a new country was a huge and great challenge for my personal growth. I was self-taught in everything related to healthy pregnancy and respected childbirth as well as the up-bringing and education of my children.⁠ ⁠ In 2019 I feel the call again to continue serving society so I completed my studies and got my license as a massage therapist at the Orlando School of Therapeutic Massage and Yoga.  In 2021 I completed the Osborne Prenatal Massage Training with Pamela Guildi.  Since 2020 I've been working in a beautiful office in Winter Park, Orlando offering Healing Massage Services to the Community.
