Brenda M Ruiz

Participating as a Judge around the world and coordinating Massage Championships throughout Latin America has enhanced not only my practice but my vision of massage and its impact not only to the receiver but to the Therapist itself.
Currently I am the Operations Director for Masaje Latino.
Recently I launched AB Wellness International Massage Institute.With this new project ,I travel around Latin America teaching Massage Therapy.
One of my goals is to create a network of Massage Therapist around the world, and to improve peoples physical and mental well-being.
I am currently the Judge Coordinator for the Panamerican Massage Championship that will be held for the second time in Medellín Colombia. I am also the Massage Establishment Inspector/Evaluator for the Puerto Rico Department of Health, in charge of regulating all massage establishments in Puerto Rico.
Currently I am also the Lead Massage Therapy Professor in Puerto Rico at Ana G. Mendez University Cupey Campus where I am responsible of teaching and also coordinating the out patient clinic. I participate in curriculum development for multi-campus massage therapy programs.
As a Spa Consultant, I visit and audit therapist performance and customer services, develop strategies in accordance of visit outcome and create continuous education program according to the strengths and weaknesses of the Spa staff and the latest tendencies in the industry. I also implement team building strategies.
Can’t wait to be back in Europe and meet you all very soon!
