After graduating from RBV High School in 2007, Athena attended San Diego State University where she earned her Bachelor’s of Science in Kinesiology with an emphasis in pre-Physical Therapy. At state, she joined the Women’s Club Volleyball team her freshman year and today returns for her second season as the JV coach for RBV’s Girls’ Volleyball team. After receiving her degree from SDSU in May 2011, she decided to further her understanding of the body and how best to treat it. Finding her new academic home at Mueller College in San Diego, she grew a new appreciation for health through the mind, body and spirit as a whole. After receiving her Holistic Health Practitioner Certification from Mueller’s extensive program, she also obtained her State Certification for massage. Her specialties include Sports/Myofascial Release, Traditional Thai Massage and Perinatal (Pregnancy) Massage. She believes that physical health alone is only a small part of finding the confidence we need to accept ourselves wholly so that we can begin to heal, improve and perform at our very best.
