Hello! My name is Toni-Anne, I am the owner of Touch As Tonic. I am a licensed Holistic Massage and Bodywork practitioner, and Energy Healing Specialist. I began this wonderful healing career with my Reiki certification in 2015. After working with energy for sometime, I felt called towards expanding my scope of practice ⏤ which led me to seek out training to become a holistic massage therapist. I began my massage career in 2019 at The Healing Arts & Massage School where I was taught by Naturopathic Doctor, Keith Bouchard ⏤ it is there where my passion for the lymphatic system began. While training I studied acupressure massage, myofascial release, Swedish massage, hydrotherapy, and spa technique. During my coursework I had the honor of treating NC State University NCAA athletes to complete my sports massage training. I worked tirelessly to earn my diploma and passed the national licensing exam in early 2021. Upon graduation, I was accredited as a Lymphatic Massage Specialist with certifications in Aromatherapy, Reflexology, and Advanced Energy Techniques. I started my career by opening Touch As Tonic and sought out further education in the women’s wellness space. I received my certification as a Nurturing the Mother® Fertility Massage Specialist in 2021 after studying under Claire Marie Miller, creator of the Nurturing the Mother® framework. I rounded out my training by completing my certification as a Nurturing the Mother® Pregnancy and Postpartum Massage Specialist in 2024, and Nurturing the Mother® Menopause Massage Specialist in 2025. I look forward to expanding both my knowledge and my practice each year.
