Updated on Oct. 30, 2026 in Property Crime
A Miami woman has been arrested on charges of performing unlicensed medical procedures and massages after a client reported nerve damage. Police say the 38-year-old operated out of a residence on Northwest 140th Street, offering unauthorized post-surgical care.
Why it matters
The case highlights the dangers of seeking medical and recovery services from unlicensed providers found on social media. Authorities confirm the suspect lacked the necessary credentials to perform massage therapy or drain surgical incisions.
A victim paid $275 for three sessions before reporting numbness, while the state confirmed the suspect holds no required licenses. A judge has set bond at $3,000 as the investigation into the unlicensed business continues.

Beyond the 305
This case follows a recurring trend of unlicensed operators bypassing Florida state medical and massage practice licensure laws via social media. The incident serves as a reminder of the standards required for practitioners handling invasive post-surgical care.
Patients seeking post-surgical care should verify all provider licenses through official state databases before booking sessions. Services found on platforms like Instagram that rely on Cash App payments are not vetted for safety or professional standards.
The takeaway
Always verify that your post-operative service provider is properly licensed by the state before receiving any treatment. Patients should be wary of any recovery services that request payment through third-party apps like Cash App instead of professional billing channels.
