Founder and Lead Instructor at Kneaded Wellness Massage Academy
Hello! I’m Brenda Padilla, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to Kneaded Wellness Massage Academy. My journey in massage therapy began over 20 years ago, and it’s been a profoundly fulfilling second career that I know will be my last. The joy and benefits of massage therapy have captivated me from the start, and I believe in its transformative power for both therapists and clients.
A Passion for Teaching
Over eight years ago, I discovered my calling as an educator. I realized that my deep love for massage therapy could be shared with others who are eager to learn and grow. My mission has been to guide and inspire those who are starting their own journey in this amazing field. Through my teaching experience at various institutions, I recognized that the true essence and passion of massage therapy were often overlooked. That’s why I decided to open Kneaded Wellness Massage Academy—to reignite that passion and offer a learning experience that goes beyond the basics.
A Commitment to Excellence
At Kneaded Wellness, we’re not just preparing you for a test. We’re dedicated to nurturing your skills and helping you develop a profound understanding of massage therapy. Our curriculum is designed to explore the deeper aspects of the profession, ensuring you’re well-equipped for a successful and rewarding career.
Connecting with the Massage Therapy Community
I am actively involved with the Texas Chapter of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). This connection provides our students with the opportunity to be part of a vibrant community of like-minded professionals and to continue this camaraderie as they embark on their new careers.
Outside the Academy
When I’m not teaching, I’m enjoying time with my supportive family and my beloved Anatolian Shepherd-Great Pyrenees mix, Muggles. You might even get the chance to give Muggles a massage or two!
I look forward to meeting you and helping you discover your own passion for massage therapy at Kneaded Wellness!
