Yoga Teacher • Positive Intelligence® Coach • Compassionate Communication (NVC) Facilitator

I partner with your nervous system to dissolve chronic pain, tension, and stress—physically and emotionally. By blending breathwork, neuroscience-backed techniques, and intuitive bodywork, I offer both immediate relief and lasting resilience.

My sessions honor the mind-body-spirit connection, beginning with attentive listening and calming breath awareness. This creates a safe space for your nervous system to unwind, guiding you toward deep, organic healing.

Working at your body’s pace, I use trauma-informed touch, targeted stretching, and integrative therapies to help you:

  • Regulate your nervous system for stress relief
  • Release stored tension and old holding patterns
  • Reconnect with your innate strength and vitality
  • Restore fluid movement and inner harmony
  • Rediscover holistic well-being

Ready to shift from survival mode to ease? Book your session today and embrace calm, clarity, and renewed energy.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Skincare, or Meditation services

Tina is a talented, intuitive, caring therapist. She listens closely to areas of concern & has a wide range of modalities at her disposal to alleviate any issues you have. She is also an educator to help you help yourself. I highly recommend her.

Tina was great. She listened and then was able to find and help release the areas of tension I was struggling with. Highly recommend.

I am so impressed by Tina on all fronts. This was not my first experience with massage, but I cannot compare this session to any other. Tina's method has totally restored my faith that my shoulder will regain strength. I've already felt so much improvement from one session, and I feel I am learning more about how to listen to my body and to make better adjustments for myself.

The best message therapist ever. She has a way of finding all of the sore spots and tight muscles like no other. Simple the best. Better than all the rest!

I leave feeling relaxed and pain free. Her massage is one of a kind.

Enjoyed that she spent personal time with me both before and after, taking time to find out exactly what my issues were. Afterward, she gave me ideas to help with stretching, relaxation, etc. Then, a week later, she followed up with an email to check on me. She is the only massage therapist that’s ever cared that much. Highly recommend!

I met Tina in a continuing education class and had a good impression of her skillset and compassionate, intuitive manner, so i booked an appointment. Tina used her varied experience together with a thorough intake process to determine how to approach my session.
by Barbara Sue on Jul 12
I walked in with discomfort, tightness and pain in several areas, worst in mid to upper posterior back. I was undecided if I should go to a chiropractor first or to Tina first. I chose to go to Tina first. I walked out feeling much better and with only the usual soreness from being worked. By the time I got home I had no pain, and have had only minimal discomfort depending upon how I move since, and it has been 2 days. It was evident that Tina is very knowledgeable in her field of work. She took time to get to fully know me, why I was there, and discussed her plan for me. I felt like she was genuinely interested in my health and wellbeing.
