Veronica Ortega
I am a 20+ year massage therapist, owner of The Wholesome Body and Healing Arts Institute of Texas. Passionate about the massage industry, I was thrilled to see our region grow and participate in AMTA. As an AMTA volunteer, it excites me to be a part of a community who is dedicated to building the massage industry. I love learning new techniques, cooking for my family and friends plus seeing a good movie or reading a good book but nothing beats a fun trip.
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. I have partnered up with Marlene Esthetic’s, we’re I will be practicing massage and esthetics.
Matthew Manriquez
Matthew Manriquez is a S.I. Practitioner and a student of Functional Bodywork. He has been involved with the El Paso AMTA region as it evolved through its many iterations. Through its aging, the community of El Paso AMTA’ers agree on gathering the massage therapists together to provide new CEU’s to aspiring therapists. Our hopes and dreams have become one as a paradigm shift, incubating the new era of Massage Therapists to thrive.
