About Me

 Tonya is a rehabilitation specialist and focuses on chronic pain, pain management, and alignment correction.  Her techniques include Swedish, trigger point therapy and myofascial release.  She is also a Reiki Level 2 practitioner.  Her skills allow her to restore function and work with those with pain, orthopedic issues, and athletes looking to improve performance or recover from injury.  Her goal is to help her clients have an improved quality of life, alleviate pain, enhance their health, and improve mobility.  She also helps educate her clients on how to care for themselves outside the massage room between treatment sessions.  She strives to help clients live a healthy, holistic lifestyle through the healing power of touch and essential oils.
