"I started Progress in September 2014. We have only continued to grow and add providers and Medical and Day Spa services since then. I was initially inspired to get my own 1.5 sq ft of tattoos removed from my own body. I guess you could say I fell in love with lasers after that. I have done all my training with the Texas Laser Institute. Lasers are such incredible tools and the things we can accomplish with them just blow my mind. I also have a Senior Laser Hair Removal License with the state and am one of two with my level of state certification in Amarillo for Hair Removal.

"My name is Miriam Hernandez and I have been a Massage Therapist in the Amarillo area for over 11 years. I attended A.C.E. School of Massage Therapy in 2006. I immediately fell in love with it and scored at the top of my class. I was passionate about massage while in school and I'm still passionate about it now. It allows me the opportunity to help others to relieve pain and stress while creating long lasting friendships.”

 MD: "Oh gosh there are so many! I love getting  a deep tissue massage from Miriam or Darla, and Kevin has helped me feel beautiful with Dysport."

"My career began at the age of 18 as a Nursing Assistant. I quickly worked my way from Nursing Assistant to Licensed Vocational Nurse. I also became a Licensed Massage Therapist.
I utilize knowledge of the anatomy, specifically the fascial meridians, to understand the language of posture; the body’s relationship with gravity. The body loves to feel centered, to feel whole, and to feel alive and I hope to provide that feeling to each and every one of my clients.”
