David Marino
Certified in The Rolf Method of Structural Integration
Licensed Massage Therapist
Brennan Healing Science Practitioner |
|
Dave obtained certification in The Rolf Method of Structural Integration from The Guild in Boulder, CO. He is one of only a few certified practitioners in South Florida offering this effective form of bodywork. His work is unique and incredibly powerful. He integrates the subtle energy work of Brennan Healing and his intuitive nature with the deeply physical work of The Rolf Method of Structural Integration. The most common response we get from Dave’s clients is “I have no idea what you did but I feel fantastic!” |
Dave is greatly passionate about sports. He grew up with a college hall of fame football coach as a father and was an athlete himself. He played baseball internationally and was on his way to the minor leagues when an injury ended his career. He set out to find physical relief for himself and that’s when he discovered Rolfing®. As a result, Dave has a deep understanding of the demands placed on an athlete’s body and knows how to truly care for injuries and chronic conditions. Dave's clients include professional Football Players, Golf Pros, trained Dancers, Tri-Athletes and an undefeated Heavy Weight Champion Boxer.
If you are curious as to what your body is communicating through specific pains, injuries or diseases Dave’s work offers you an opportunity for clarity and personal growth. His intuitive abilities allow him to make deep contact and reveal unresolved trauma and emotions that your body can be unconsciously holding. Often times it is these unresolved issues that lead to disease within the body and distortions in life. Working with Dave offers you a chance to bring these to the forefront for healing in order to transform your body, your relationships and your life.
Dave began receiving healing work in his early teens, has traveled to Machu Pichu and studied in Chicago with Caroline Myss, spent time living at The Pathwork Center in Virginia and most recently challenged himself by attending the annual Hero’s Journey Program in West Virginia with Michael Mervosh.

Isa Ruiz Marino
Spa Director
Licensed Massage Therapist
Brennan Healing Science Practitioner
Certified Birth Doula |
|
Isa’s passion lies in educating and supporting clients and staff. Having cancer in her early twenties took Isa through surgery and radiation to energy healing and transformational work. She believes in the body’s ability for self healing and views disease as the body’s mechanism for survival. Mostly she believes in the body’s ability to communicate what it needs, the spirit’s innate ability to listen and the individual’s right to choose. Her strength is rooted in self responsibility and intention. |
I have incredible faith in your ability to know for yourself what you need to do in this moment…if you can take the time you need to find the deep stillness within and make your choice from that stillness, you cannot make the wrong choice, you can only make the choice that is the best one for you at that moment.” – The Call by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
Isa is primarily spa director but may be available for Brennan Healings (especially for clients experiencing cancer) and birth doula services upon request. She is also available to answer questions regarding Waves Spa and its services.
If Isa looks a little familiar you may be spotting her resemblance to her father Santi of Santi Salon also located in the Graham Center. Isa grew up in the family business and helped her father obtain and launch his beauty salon at FIU in 1999 and now has the honor of having her own spa with her husband Dave right next door. Although the two spaces could not look & feel any more different from one another there is a deep connection and great support between father, daughter and son-in-law.
