Tokkara

Licensed Message Therapist

Tokkara “TK” graduated as a licensed massage therapist from Everest in Brandon, Florida in 2011. Shortly after graduating, she gained employment at a spa. Realizing she wanted to learn more while working, she then moved on to working for a chiropractor. She enjoys educating patients on the purpose of each muscle while also explaining the importance of receiving a massage. She enjoys the opportunity to learn new techniques that most spas don’t allow which allows her to broaden her massage skills. She is certified in reflexology, upper & lower extremities, deep tissue and Swedish. Other modalities she offers are the following: cupping, prenatal and sport. She believes that pain & negative energy go hand and hand. So be happy, and your body will be happy too!
