Adeline graduated from Makami College in December 2015 and joined Massage Heights that same year. She has always been passionate about massage therapy as her family has a massage business back home in the Philippines. She enjoys the aspect of providing a ‘healing touch’ and helping others. Her favourite area to work on is the neck, upper back, and shoulder region. Because most people experience stress in that region, Adeline feels she can provide relief for many by treating the area.

Adeline briefly went abroad to London, England, where she trained as an International Massage therapist in 2018/2019. Her goals beyond massage therapy are to travel more to places like Israel and back to her homeland, the Philippines. 

Adeline enjoys baking and cooking Pilipino and Chinese cuisine, partaking in karaoke, and gardening at home.
