Meet Flo, Your Expert in Holistic Bodywork
With over 15 years of experience in the medical field, Flo is a seasoned Certified Massage Therapist who brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for healing to every session. Specializing in Tissue Reconstruction Therapy, Structural Massage, and Myofascial Release Therapy, Flo has honed her skills to offer a truly transformative experience.
Her expertise doesn’t stop there. Flo is also certified in a wide range of specialized modalities, including Pregnancy Massage, Lymphatic Drainage, Body Contouring, Colombian Wood Therapy, Ayurvedic Wellness, Fascial Stretch Therapy, and more. These certifications reflect her commitment to mastering diverse techniques to address each client’s unique needs.
Before dedicating herself to bodywork, Flo was an athlete for over 12 years, which gave her firsthand insight into the physical demands and the importance of recovery. This experience naturally led her to a five-year career as an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT), where she worked alongside the Los Angeles City Fire Department, providing critical care in high-stress situations.
Flo’s journey didn’t end there. Driven by a desire to understand healing from a global perspective, she spent six years traveling the world, studying various indigenous healing modalities. These experiences were pivotal in shaping her approach to alternative therapy and set the foundation for the unique techniques she now offers at Muscle Mend LA.
After returning to the U.S., Flo earned a Bachelor of Science in Physiology with a focus on Integrative Medicine and completed her Pre-Medical studies at Bastyr University. She then apprenticed under experts in Chiropractic, Osteopathic, Ayurvedic Medicine, Physical Therapy, and more, gaining hands-on training that deepened her understanding of muscle health and recovery. Her dedication to learning and innovation led her to develop a proprietary bodywork technique that has transformed the lives of her clients.
Today, Flo continues to expand her expertise as she pursues a Master’s Degree in Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Her ultimate goal? To open a comprehensive acupuncture and recovery clinic that offers holistic, patient-centered care.
Flo’s diverse background equips her with a unique toolbox of modalities that set her apart from other massage therapists. Her adaptable and results-driven approach has earned her a loyal clientele who trust her to support their recovery and enhance their well-being.
Flo takes immense pride in her work and looks forward to being an integral part of your wellness journey. Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, improved physical performance, or simply a moment of relaxation, Flo is here to guide you every step of the way.
