Hilda Rice
Hello my name is Hilda Rice. I am a military Spouse, mother of 3. I am a Certified medical assistant, while working family practice, I quickly realized I wanted to do more for people. I went back to school to become a massage therapist 8 years ago. Became a medical massage practitioner in 2019. I went back to school to get my esthetician license this year. Everyone’s healing process is different and I feel it’s important to have different CE (Continued Education) under your belt to be able to help different people that come into the practice.
