Chapter Financial Administrator

Tonya Danzy's time as a massage therapist started as a very personal journey. Watching her mother, sister, and friend trying to deal with chronic pain with medication to no avail sparked an interest in finding an alternative for pain management. Through massage therapy she was able to help ease the pain of those close to her by using a healing touch on the muscles, rather than relying on medication. She continues to see the effects of her treatments in the relief of her clients after a session.

Relaxation massage and therapeutic massage are Tonya's two concentrations in her practice. Unlike many massage therapists who focus on soft, gentle touch for the client's relaxation, she prefers to use a deeper, more firm pressure. Her clients are able to release tension and find a moment of calm in their busy lives thanks to her firm and reassuring presence and pressure.

While with AMTA she hopes to continue to gain knowledge and experience as a massage therapist and hopes that her story can inspire others to seek alternative treatments like massage therapy to improve their quality of life.
