Diana Rivera Maldonado
My name is Diana Rivera Maldonado. I proudly represent the state of Texas as a licensed massage therapist for the past 25 years.
My journey has been amazing. I’m forever grateful for every one person that has trusted my services.
Massage therapy helped me pay for my son’s private school and has been there for many other financial responsibilities as well as leisure– is not only a business, it is my life!
I am a mother of three wonderful children and as entrepreneur I want to continue to expand and elevate and share that wellness is a choice!
Proud to be Houstonian raised in the Heights and will continue to serve my community and represent the state of Texas with pride!
