Whitney Garcia is a Licensed Massage Therapist and owner of Wild
Rose Massage Therapy.
Whitney
Garcia was born and raised in Las Vegas, and now calls Texas
home. It was massage therapy that helped her cope with
multiple losses throughout her life and inspired her to become a
licensed massage therapist seeking to bring relief to people
experiencing stress, grief, anxiety and trauma. Fascinated by
cultures of the world and fluent in Italian, she naturally chose to
pursue her Bachelors of Arts degree in Cultural Anthropology from
Brigham Young University. After being an at home parent to her 3
precious children for 8 years, she became a licensed massage
therapist receiving her education from Ke Kino Institute of Healing
in Plano, TX. She has received specialized training in the art of
grief massage, holding space for pregnancy loss and trauma-informed
touch through The Institute for Grief Massage Inc, The Institute
for the Study of Birth, Breath and Death and Associated Bodywork
and Massage Professionals (respectively). She has spent many hours
volunteering in the foster care system and at domestic violence
shelters, coaching youth sports and mentoring high school students
in under-served communities. She loves the beach, dark chocolate
and all things Sicilian. You can find her online through her
