Tonya is the Founder of Wings Wellness Medical and Integrative Massage. She is a Massachusetts licensed Massage Therapist and a member of the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA). A graduate of Boston University and John Winsolow Institute of Massage Therapy, she recently completed an Executive MBA program at Suffolk University's Sawyer Business School (class of 2023). She has been a massage therapy professional since 2009, and in 2021 left a 30+ year career as a Professional Project Manager to focus and work full-time at Wings Wellness, which she co-owns and operates with her fiancé.

Tonya is committed to the idea that massage therapy is an important part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. She believes that every body has the innate ability to heal itself. Therapeutic massage can be one of many pathways to restoring health and wellness to both body and mind. She works with great compassion and empathy, and her careful listening, attention to detail, and expertise in a number of modalities enable her to customize each session so that is effective and meaningful to your life in that moment - guiding your body towards peace, balance and relaxation.   

Tonya specializes in medical, post-op and integrative massage. She is trained and certified in a variety of different massage and bodywork modalities, including but not limited to Manual Lymphatic Drainage (Vodder Technique), Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, Craniosacral, Orthopedic, and Ashiatsu Bar Therapy. She is a certified Medical Massage Practitioner and Reflexologist (foot only).

On a personal note, Tonya is the proud mother of one amazing and talented son, and the auntie (and honorary auntie) to many. She is an aspiring author who has written one unpublished novel, and is currently working on two others. She is a serial entrepreneur who has opened two other businesses related to her passions: a genealogy research company (Afrigeneal), and an artisan organic soap and candle company (Nadora Naturals).
