Orange County Massage Therapy, Ca.

Here is my heavily autographed massage table that I used for under 2 years. I from time to time-asked clients that routinely booked massage therapy sessions with me if they would like to sign the bottom of my table in the late 90's and early 00's. This particular massage table I used for my Orange County Massage Practice was retired years ago. Doesn't look like much now does it! Thank God for that. Long story short, I was involved in a multiple car accident when a 10 wheel truck struck my vehicle from behind. Thankfully my table in my car kept the trunk from moving forward and injuring me. I am happy to say that I still have this crunched up massage table as a reminder of all the incredible people that have lain on it in those memorable first two years while practicing in the US. Here are recent pictures of it.

Born in 1973 in the picturesque city of Cebu, nestled amongst the fragmented islands of the Philippines, I came to the U.S. in 1994 via Minnesota and more recently California just after 2 years of studying nursing in my home country.

Preventative and interventive medicine have been a part of my family for several generations with many brothers, sisters, and extended family members holding hospital positions as nurses. Although nursing was something I had always aspired to be involved with, I savored something more that would allow me to connect with people and be more directly involved in each individual's health pursuits, emotional stability, and overall well-being.

"I wanted to have a greater impact on the lives of those I touched...literally."

Interestingly...as far back as 1983, (when I was 10) I had been massaging one of my brothers with fantastic results. I discovered that while using massage on the soft tissues of the upper and mid back, chest and abdomen between and after asthma attacks, my brother was able to recover much quicker and with significantly less physical and emotional trauma. Serendipitously, I found that *my* overall well-being as well was greatly enhanced while using simple massage techniques on others, which further reinforced and fueled my passion to massage on a professional level.

As my massage and bodywork skills developed over time, the appreciation from my brother spread to other friends and family members and had become an incredibly gratifying aspect of my life. But the appreciation level of my brother was always second to none...always.

"As for our time together during those sudden traumatic attacks...timeless...and forever profoundly embedded in my heart and soul increasing the desire to offer my love and appreciation to each who seeks it through my touch...one person at a time."

It wasn't until many years later that I finally received the much anticipated and long awaited opportunity from the U.S. government to relocate to America. My prayers had finally been answered that would allow me not only to bring my self-taught skills to America and further my professional studies here, but to also work with, learn from, and massage the most diverse culture in the world.

Margie has always been a fun loving, relaxed and caring person, indicative of the Filipino people and their well deserved reputation as care takers throughout the world. She is personable, engaging and found to be likable by all those who get the opportunity to spend time with her. It has been said many times that,

"her happiness has a contagious quality to it and can only be characterized as genuine."

She possesses an enormous amount of positive energy and enthusiasm for life and for many years performed as a singer and dancer in the Philippines in front of large audiences including television broadcasts. I strongly believe that her past dancing abilities have found a new and improved home as she performs gracefully orchestrated massage movements to the delight of her clients.

Yes, she has traded in the cheers of the audiences for the smiles of her massage clients. But go ahead, ask her if she misses the large performances and she'll tell you without hesitation,

"massage is my future...singing and dancing was my past."

Margie will tell you that, "nothing compares to a truly genuine smile after a massage and an honest-to-goodness "thank you" that only comes from a satisfied soul."

As you can see, it's by no coincidence that Margie has started a successful practice in the professional field of massage therapy. In fact, a high percentage of her immediate family has successfully pursued professions in allopathic healthcare in America and the Philippines. Margie not only expands on the family tradition of caring for others well-being by choice, but does so with unbridled passion, love, & respect for her clients, massage therapy, and the entire field of professional touch.

I hope one day to return home to Cebu, Philippines to orchestrate a small combination spa and bed & breakfast initially. The setting is hoped to be along the cliffs above the ocean to take advantage of the sweeping panoramic views, beautiful moon lit nights and endless Cebuano fresh air. The spa will not only serve the local people, but also provide familiar as well as not so familiar spa treatments and a very warm welcome to visiting Westerners.

Cebu is warm year around making outside massage treatment on sun decks near the beach an ideal venue. In addition to various massage services and styles, bodywork spa treatments such as cleansing parafango mud wraps, detoxifying spirulina seaweed compresses, and exotic aromatherapy fascials will be performed utilizing high tech indoor treatment rooms. With the advent of oxygen chamber therapy offering diverse benefits, it is my hope that this equipment can also be obtained and offered at the spa to all those interested.

The future expansion of the facility will be the inclusion of the two hotel wings, which will be significantly larger than the size of the initial spa building. My hopes are to expand the original spa amenities and hotel facilities from a day spa to a retreat spa... possibly even a resort spa. The spa will be close enough to serve the local population, yet far enough away to be considered a worthy destination in and of itself. The land & location of the spa will be chosen on the basis of proximity to the ocean as well as the opportunity to expand the facilities as funding permits.

Specifically, I believe touch therapy is a necessity, not a luxury. My massage session prices are reflective of this ideal and made available so that all may take advantage of this powerful medium. I encourage all first timers to call me and discuss any concerns or questions you may have for me. Generally, I encourage others as well as myself to learn more about preventative healthcare modalities and the advantages of using them in conjunction with the Westernized medical model.

A proud graduate of The Western Institute of Neuromuscular Therapy in Laguna Hills, California. This is a leading, well-established and reputable school that has a nationally certified curriculum and is state approved. I spent two years in nursing school in the Philippines as well. I also belong to the nation's largest and oldest massage association, The American Massage Therapy Assoc. as well as others. Hope to see you soon.
