📣📣📣 Introducing our newest practitioner, Tia Taliaferro, LMT!!
"Tia began the massage therapy program at MTI in 2020, just three days before the lockdown went into effect. With the sudden shift to remote learning, much of her coursework was completed from home while she balanced caring for her children and studying. By the time students were allowed back on campus, the class was already nearing graduation, and Tia felt she had missed out on essential hands-on experiences that would shape her future career. Although the first year was challenging, it strengthened her passion for massage therapy. She ultimately chose to leave before graduating and re-enroll the following year. When she returned to campus, she was met with a richer curriculum and more in-depth study of kinesiology, nutrition, anatomy, and pathology.
Now with over four years of experience in the field, Tia has discovered that her greatest passion lies in isolated and therapeutic work. Clients frequently seek her help with TMJ discomfort, fibromyalgia symptoms, rotator cuff issues, hip dysfunctions, and impinged nerves. While she finds deep fulfillment in the clinical and medical aspects of massage, she also values the transformation that comes from helping anxious or stressed clients leave feeling renewed. In addition to her therapeutic focus, Tia offers pink Himalayan salt stone massage."
