Download Wellness allows clients to come in and relax through massage therapy. Memi holds a Bachelor of Science in Healthcare Administration & Management. Throughout Memi’s journey as a massage therapist, she has witnessed the transformative shifts in health that can occur when clients adopt a routine of bodywork, diet management, and breathing exercises.

Currently, Memi is mentoring at Download Wellness, amongst several other not-for-profit companies throughout the Bay Area. She mentors student interns at Download Wellness from the National Holistic Institute.
Memi enjoys giving back to NHI students who are just starting on their path to becoming a massage therapist. She has now truly found balance in her life. From creating a successful business, having her twins now at universities in Los Angeles, raising a pre-teen, and now married to a wonderful husband. Memi is no longer in an active role at Download Wellness as she has decided to focus on her self-care. She volunteers her time here at Download Wellness Mentoring to help interns become certified massage therapists.
