Tabitha is a licensed massage therapist and certified yoga teacher serving the Northern Virginia area since 2017. She is passionate about sharing her knowledge of healing energies with others who have had difficulty finding relief from chronic pain, stress, and trauma. When conventional medicinal approaches failed to address her own health concerns, she turned to alternative therapies like yoga, Reiki, and therapeutic massage. Her intensive study of the body and its energy properties have had a deep and lasting impact in all areas of her life, far above and beyond my initial pursuit of pain management. 

She has dedicated years to mastering the same skills that brought her so much comfort, so she could also help others find relief. She combines the more physical, clinical techniques like orthopedic and sports massage with the subtler, energy healing techniques like Reiki, Craniosacral Therapy, and Visceral Manipulation to bridge the gaps between healing mind, body, and spirit. She is a graduate of the Northern Virginia Community College Massage Therapy Program and earned her Trauma Informed Yoga Teacher Certification through YogaFit.
