About Me

Hello, thank you for stopping by at Rising Within. My name is Araceli Bravo and I am a Mexican-American certified massage therapist located in South Central Los Angeles. I recently graduated from National Holistic Institute and received my certification. My goal is to provide a safe environment where people can have a space to relax and unwind. 

Along with being a certified massaged therapist, I am also a mental health therapist in the Redondo Beach area and have been practicing as a clinical social worker for more than 5 years. I have wanted to serve people from a young age and provide help in any way. I decided early on that I wanted to be a mental health therapist to help people who needed someone to encourage them and help during crisis. During my professional and personal healing journey, I realized how trauma can impact the body. I wanted to learn more through a different lens and decided to go to school for massage therapy. Having a background in mental health, I would like to help those who have had past trauma to the body and provide services that can alleviate the pain, tension, and tightness that we can hold. 

I believe that everyone deserves accessible services such a massage therapy, therefore I want to provide affordable services to the community of South Central Los Angeles. I believe that receiving a massage is as important as going to your doctor and dentist. I hope to expand massage therapy to communities who have not had the opportunity to experience a massage as well as help communities relieve pain from their bodies.
