Tonya is a Washington native who enjoys books, dogs, and all kinds of hand crafts. After living a life at a desk all day, personal experience with regular massage led her back to school to learn more about the practice and its benefits. She has been practicing massage in Bellingham since 2017. Massage not only provides physical benefits, but also has a positive impact on mental and emotional wellbeing. With how stressful life can be, finding a space to quiet the mind is crucial for also achieving physical relaxation. Massage can facilitate healing from injury, promote regular physical wellness, and improve general state of mind. Tonya's work is deeply personalized. She strives to listen to understand her client's concerns, and to balance client preferences with her professional knowledge and experience to achieve a both satisfactory and effective result. She views massage as a collaborative effort between therapist and client.
