Embodied Blessings, I'm Tina Tongen, a Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT #MA97820) with an Associate of Occupational Studies degree in massage therapy, Master Practitioner in Phenomenal Touch Massage, certified yoga teacher, and more. I help you rediscover the joy of inhabiting a happy and healthy body. 

As a master massage therapist and yoga teacher, I collaborate with your nervous system to release chronic holding patterns in your mind + body. I teach simple methods that relieve mental and physical stress easily. As an Embodied Wellness Coach, I help you to identify and live into your wellness goals, so you can return to your true, creative nature.

My holistic approach recognizes health as a function of mind, body, and spirit working together. Sessions begin with deep listening so I can provide the necessary support to tailor my services to your needs that day.

Tongen Touch™ is a culmination of my studies over the past 30 years—a blend of expertise, compassion, and transformative embodied experiences. Distilled, the essence of my work is listening to the breath, sensing the body, curiosity around contact and movement; the space where the present moment lives. These guide me on my journey back to the heart, and I'm grateful to hold space for your journey, as well!

REVIEWS for my Bodywork, Skincare, or Meditation services

The best message therapist ever. She has a way of finding all of the sore spots and tight muscles like no other. Simple the best. Better than all the rest!

I leave feeling relaxed and pain free. Her massage is one of a kind.

Enjoyed that she spent personal time with me both before and after, taking time to find out exactly what my issues were. Afterward, she gave me ideas to help with stretching, relaxation, etc. Then, a week later, she followed up with an email to check on me. She is the only massage therapist that’s ever cared that much. Highly recommend!

Tina is wonderful! So dedicated, gentle and effective all at once.

I met Tina in a continuing education class and had a good impression of her skillset and compassionate, intuitive manner, so i booked an appointment. Tina used her varied experience together with a thorough intake process to determine how to approach my session.

I walked in with discomfort, tightness and pain in several areas, worst in mid to upper posterior back. I was undecided if I should go to a chiropractor first or to Tina first. I chose to go to Tina first. I walked out feeling much better and with only the usual soreness from being worked. By the time I got home I had no pain, and have had only minimal discomfort depending upon how I move since, and it has been 2 days. It was evident that Tina is very knowledgeable in her field of work. She took time to get to fully know me, why I was there, and discussed her plan for me. I felt like she was genuinely interested in my health and wellbeing.

I highly recommend finding time for self care, especially a much needed massage! I absolutely love the massage sessions with Tina. She's experienced & patient. She listens to your needs & concerns, addressing priority areas. I'm thankful for her caring heart & healing touch! Thank you!

Ms. Tongen creates a totally relaxing experience. She addresses any trouble spots and explains how different pressure will release the stress from your body. I wholeheartedly recommend her for a total body massage!
