Welcome!

Thank you for visiting Gwen's Therapeutic Massage and Wellness.

My goal is to serve and support clients on their healing journey, whether it be physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually, so they may live their lives to the fullest.

I became familiar with the healing properties of human touch while seeking treatment for tendonitis and a spinal injury. I received alternative treatments such as acupuncture, massage therapy as well as chiropractic and physical therapy.

I began my journey helping others by attending Poway Academy’s Holistic Health Practitioner Program in 2005, studying various modalities including Reflexology, Pathology, as well as Deep Tissue, Sports, and Swedish Massage techniques. After completing this program, I continued developing these techniques while working in a coupe Chiropractic offices, learning additional techniques such as active release, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, as well as neuromuscular re-education.

I opened Gwen’s Therapeutic Massage in 2010, providing massage therapy services at Giovanni’s Salon in El Cajon, and later at Visible Difference Day Spa in Fletcher Hills. In 2014, I opened a private practice facility in Fletcher Hills and  served clients as a sole practitioner. 

I attended The Southwest Institute of Healing Arts (SWIHA)  and completed a comprehensive Integrative Healing Arts Practitioner Program (IHAP) in June 2022.. I now specialize in Advanced Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching and am extremely excited to offer these services to my wellness center.
