Maritza Rocha, LMT
MA101161

Maritza Rocha graduated from the Sarasota School of Massage Therapy. She grew up in Reading, PA and now lives in Bradenton. Maritza has worked as a caregiver for the past nine years, and while she has enjoyed helping others in this role, is now looking forward to dedicating even more of her time to massage therapy. After two car accidents, she felt drawn to massage after she experienced firsthand how much the power of touch can do. Massage therapy helped her manage her pain and get better.

Helping people feel better is what she loves about massage! During her free time, Maritza enjoys spending time with her husband and two beautiful daughters.
