My name is Marilia, I was born in West Point, N.Y. I was raised in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and later returned to the U.S. My interest in bodywork began as an Aquatic Therapist and Watsu Practitioner in 1994. During that time, I really fell in love with the concept of helping patients restore function not only physically but mentally.
After that I pursued a career as a Physical Therapy Assistant, working with Palm Beach Orthopedic Institute as a PTA. During those years I was introduced to CranioSacral Therapy, I was very curious to learn a new concept of helping patients in a deeper level. I became a Massage Therapist and now I work at Jupiter Hospital and Upledger Institute Clinic.
My patients include adults and kids with Muscular Dystrophy, Neuromuscular diseases, Cancer, Stroke, Fibromyalgia, Alzheimer’s, MS, Dementia, Parkinson’s’ and those with pre-op and post-op of the hip, spine, knee and shoulder dysfunctions.
I continue to take CranioSacral Therapy classes to further my knowledge into supporting my clients/patients.
I believe that learning is a pathway to better ourselves, which is a lifelong process.
During my free time I enjoy strength training, swimming, practicing Yoga, playing drums and spending time with my family and my dogs.
