Tanya completed her first training at the Massage Therapy Institute in Davis, Ca. Very inspired by the field of massage, she went on to complete a 675-hour degree program at the North Carolina School of Natural Healing in Asheville, NC. Over the years she has acquired a broad range of techniques such as Swedish, deep tissue, sports massage, Thai, Lomi Lomi, energy work, myofacial, range of motion and passive stretching. As a result she is able to offer clients an integrative style of massage that combines various techniques during each session. Tanya adapts each session to the client's preference, ranging from light, medium to deep pressure.
Normally she will begin each massage with the back where many people like extra attention and then carefully work down to the legs and feet. At this point the client will be asked to roll onto the back for work on the neck and shoulders, arms and hands. This is followed by the front of the legs and down to the feet staying in tune with the energetic flow leaving the client grounded and balanced. She also incorporates stretching and range of motion movements into many of her massages, promoting healthy lubricated joints.
Tanya will pay attention to the client's needs and give extra focus to those areas. She feels it is important to stay in communication with her clients and will check in to ask if more or less pressure is desired. While specializing in deep tissue, she pays special attention to clients who are sensitive and will not go deeper than the client's particular level of comfort. As a result, a high percentage of her business is from repeat customers and referrals.
Tanya’s interest and education in massage therapy began fifteen years ago when her mother attended massage school. Around this time she was also mentored by a friend of the family who practiced a massage style known as “Zen body therapy”. Being immersed in the bodywork field from a young age Tanya developed a genuine passion for the healing arts and continues to broaden her knowledge in the field.
