In addition to her training in bodywork, she received a BA in theatre from the University of Colorado @ Boulder in 1995.  Tanja has over 20 years experience facilitating multi-generational communities through the healing capacity of performance. Through the use of authentic movement,  and improvisation she empowers her students to access their unique creative forces. Tanja's knowledge of these forms of expression complements her body work and is reflected in her spontaneous approach.

As a therapist I bring joy of the body's expression into every session.  I work with the natural movement within the body on all levels and address your whole multidimensional being. As we journey into the body wisdom together, we create a dialogue that supports and invites your innate self-healing  to be at it's optimum. I welcome you into an efficient easeful relationship to your body's wisdom, and informative sensations. 

Advanced Myofascial Techniques  addresses the connective tissue directly. Completed certifications:

Prenatal & Postpartum & Labor Support offers support for women during their pregnancy as well as up to two years after birth. The session is designed to support the body’s natural healing process, alleviate physical pains that can accompany new motherhood, and provide a place of relaxation. We work with where you are at in the pregnancy to comfortably position you on the table. The benefits of receiving massage to support your journey are: stress reduction, rapid healing, relief from pain, support for breast milk production, and a greater sense of relaxation. 

 Zen Shiatsu is a Japanese form of bodywork based on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Shiatsu addresses connective tissue,  joints and the internal flow of energy known as Ki .  This internal movement of energy (Ki) assists in sustaining health. Shiatsu addresses imbalances that can occur within the flow of energy. By addressing these areas of excessive and stagnant energy within the meridians, we are able to return the body to equilibrium. As change happens on an energetic level, it will filter through and impact all aspects of our being. Shiatsu is a holistic approach to the body where the client is clothed in comfortable, moveable clothing.
