Hello, I'm Tia. I'm an independent New York Licensed massage therapist who specializes in Medical Massage, therapeutic Lomi Lomi massage, Thai Massage, Myofascial Release and Ayurvedic Shirodhara treatment. Read my bio & trainings here.
​
Tiare in Tahitian language means Gardenia, It is a spiritual flower. Due to its fragrance, It is used to mix with coconut oil to create Manoi massage oil.
​
I traveled to each country of massage origin to master the authentic techniques unique to each style. I started Lomi Lomi massage training in Hawaii in 2012. The style of Lomi Lomi massage I practice is called Temple style, Kahuna bodywork or Pathway to the Stars. My lineage is of Abraham Kawai'i. I studied with Tom Cochran ( Sacred Lomi), Jody Mountain (Lineage of light) ,and Kumu Gloria Coppola.
As for Traditional Thai Massage, I started my trainings in 2008. I studied at the internationally recognized Wat Po Traditional Thai Massage school, the school of Massage for Health in Thailand, and many private Thai massage instructors including Master Jack Shaman ( whose student won 2017 World massage championship).
​
New York City is where I currently live and is one of the best places in the world for medical massage education. This is where I studied Medical massage ,Myofascial Release (Taylor's technique). Anatomy, Myology, Physiology , Orthopedic assessment . I currently holds 42 massage certifications.
​
My practice is holistic. Human are not just physical beings. We are physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual being. There are relationship of these elements. When one is out of balance, it affects another. At my practice, I embrace all elements that make us a whole. Every part of the body is connected. The deep layer of the muscle is connected to the superficial layer. Muscles at different locations are connected and work together as a system. Body, mind, emotion ,and spirit are connected. All parts are considered as whole and not separated. All styles of massage are interconnected and share universal principles.
​
​
Although I offer each style of massage in its purest form, I'm not limited by the name of the style. Each style of massage has its own uniqueness and benefits. Different styles of massage are different tools suitable for different needs of people at particular situation and they are synergists. I integrate specialized types of massage to make my own signature style. If you are not sure which style of massage best suitable for you, I can help you choose what matches your need and I can integrate different styles and customize a session for you.
​
The focus of my work is about quality of touch. I give fully 100% of my energy holistically to my work and I'm committed to excellence.

I'm a caring, and dedicated Massage Therapist. My work is my passion. I'm very honored to work with clientele to help promote their health and lifestyle. I'm so grateful for all of the appreciation my clients expressed to me.
