Journey as a Massage Therapist:
A story of Dedication and Achievement

My name is Claudia Rivas, and my journey in massage therapy has been one of passion, resilience, and determination. With 19 years of hands-on experience. I have dedicated my life to helping others heal, relax, and feel their best. But my journey didn’t stop there—I always dreamed of achieving more, not just for myself but for my children and the clients I serve.

Recently, I proudly graduated with honors as a State Certified Massage Therapist in California from the National Holistic Institute in Clovis, California. This achievement represents years of hard work, countless hours of study, and an unwavering commitment to my craft. As a single mother of three, balancing family life while pursuing my education was challenging, but my passion for healing and my desire to provide a better future kept me going.

"Born and raised in El Salvador, I am now a proud U.S. citizen living my dream and serving my community in Tulare County.
As a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), I stay connected with the latest advancements in massage therapy, ensuring my clients receive the highest level of care."

I am the proud owner of Bodywork and Cupping by Claudia, where I offer a wide range of services, including deep tissue massage, sports recovery, lymphatic drainage, cupping therapy, face massage, and body contouring. My experience in every modality of massage therapy allows me to customize treatments that promote healing, relaxation, and well-being.

This achievement is not just a milestone—it’s a testament to my dedication to personal and professional growth. I am honored to serve my clients with expertise, compassion, and the knowledge I have gained through years of experience and education. My journey continues, and I look forward to making a difference in the lives of those I touch through the power of massage therapy.
