Brenda Ovando studied massage therapy at the National Massage Therapy Institute in Falls Church, Virginia. She graduated in 2010 and has been a licensed and practicing Massage Therapist since then.  Starting in Virginia, then Texas for more than a decade, and now here in her hometown of Rochester, NY, from this seasoned position she brings a broad experience of working on the human body. 

She has enjoyed working in the high end, high volume ambiance of beautiful spas in Arlington, VA and Dallas, TX as well as high volume clinical practice with Chiropractors who specialize in injury and rehabilitation. What keeps her from burn out is an honest curiosity about being a healthy human being in this modern culture and how to reach and keep a healthy, mobile, and pain free life. 

Brenda is also a registered 200hr yoga teacher, a Certified Nutrition Coach, and a Certified Breath Coach. 

She approaches your session with seasoned expertise and broad techniques and perspectives to achieve your session goals. 

She specializes in:

Abdominal massage and Visceral Manipulation: This gentle technique works on the connective tissue of the organs, as well as providing gentle stimulation to abdominal nerves and circulatory vessels to help improve their natural function. This is an excellent session to add into your monthly wellness regimen for general health, but especially for sedentary people who do not have much time for regular exercise. It improves circulation of blood, lymphatics, and intestinal mobility to keep your body balanced.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage for Optimal Health and for Pre and Post Operation/Surgery: This technique improves your body's efficiency to filter toxins and heal through its natural processes. Lymphatic fluid flow has been documented through evidence based research to improve up to 20X its baseline after a Manual Lymphatic Drainage session. This is why it is beneficial BEFORE your surgery (to prepare your body well) as well as reducing the difficult post op period AFTER surgery, to get you back to regular life. It also improves energy, sleep, and reduces the natural swelling which occurs with aging and sedentary life. This session is essential for people who are serious about staying healthy and well for many years to come. 

Schedule with her to gain an experienced ally in your wellness journey.

Brenda's bodywork is always an amazing experience. She listens carefully to my needs and addresses my ailments every time. I own a wellness center and she was once a therapist with me and I've missed her presence at our office, but I continue to see her as her work is impeccable. Thank you for your consistent caring touch, Brenda!
