About Me
Hello! My name is Mariela Polanco, and I am a certified massage therapist with a passion for helping people improve their physical and emotional well-being through the art of massage.
My journey into the world of massage began at the prestigious National Holistic Institute (NHI) in Emeryville, where I completed a rigorous 800-hour training program.
During my time at NHI, I had the privilege of working closely with professional massage therapists with decades of experience in the field.
This enriching experience allowed me to absorb valuable knowledge and hone my skills in a variety of massage modalities, including Swedish, Shiatsu, Thai, Myofascial Therapy, Lymphatic Massage, Chair Massage, Reflexology and Pregnancy Massage.
My commitment to excellence took me beyond the NHI classrooms. I completed my training with an internship at Tiburon Wellness Center, where I was able to apply my knowledge in a practical setting and work with clients seeking relief and relaxation. I collaborated with a team of massage therapists with over 100 years of combined experience, whose mentorship and ongoing support motivated me to constantly grow and learn in my career.
