Marlaina Pertile, LMT, CMLDT, CLT
#MT21706278
After 15+ years working as an administrative assistant in various settings and with some encouragement from a friend, Marlaina decided to set out on a new career path. She enrolled in classes at Indiana Therapeutic Massage School in Indianapolis in early spring in 2016 and a year later, graduated massage school becoming a licensed massage therapist.
Since then, she has taken numerous continuing education courses and holds several certifications including:
-
Geriatric Massage
-
Oncology
-

-
Hospice Massage
-
Burn Scar Therapy
-
Manual Lymphatic Drainage
-
LuminEsscence Facelifting Massage
-

-
Postpartum
-
Infant Massage
At the heart of Marlaina's massage practice lies a deep love and respect for the elderly. Her own path began in long-term care facilities, where she witnessed the profound impact of connection and touch. Residents who received regular visits from family and friends thrived emotionally, while those who felt isolated often faced higher levels of anxiety and agitation. Her goal is to provide that essential one-on-one tactile engagement through massage, not just for pain relief, but to foster a sense of love and compassion that every individual deserves.
