Transformative Touch Tampa is managed and operated by Barry Engh.  Barry began his journey into discovering the restorative power of touch in 2003 when he began his study of Aikido, a Japanese martial art. He obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Aging Studies from the University of South Florida in 2005. He continued developing his awareness of the body’s optimal structure and function by studying Yoga to facilitate his recovery after a knee injury. In 2012 he began his study of bodywork and in 2014, graduated from the D.G. Erwin Technical center and obtained his massage license shortly thereafter.  He has also supplemented his knowledge of the body through weight and functional mobility training. Barry takes an individualized, client-focused approach to bodywork, and uses a variety of techniques to help empower clients to meet their specific needs. He believes in the body’s inherent ability to heal itself and sees himself as a facilitator of that process.
