Meet the Founder

Vanessa Raming, CMT, Holistic Health Practitioner

Hi, I’m Vanessa Raming, founder of San Diego Restorative Massage, where I specialize in therapeutic massage for people of all ages. My passion is helping you feel your best—whether that means moving with greater ease, living with less pain, or simply finding the space to relax and recharge.

My journey into massage therapy was deeply influenced by a close bond with my great-grandmother. Spending time with her gave me a heartfelt understanding of the care and attention people need throughout life. This experience continues to guide my work today.

I received my massage education at the International Professional School of Bodywork (IPSB) in San Diego, earning an Associate Degree in Holistic Health in 2006. I’m a California Certified Massage Therapist, a proud member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), and I further expanded my clinical background by earning an Associate Degree as a Physical Therapist Assistant in 2021.

With over two decades of hands-on experience, I combine knowledge, intuition, and heart in every session. Whether you’re managing chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking a moment of rest and renewal, I’m here to support your wellness journey.

Outside the studio, I enjoy studying Spanish, watching sunsets, taking road trips, vacationing in Mexico, and spending time with my loved ones and pets.
