Tokpa comes from the Tibetan word meaning self-realization, understanding and experience. One of the main concepts in Tibetan Buddhism is to realize the nature of the mind.
The mind plays a key part in how we perceive everything from stress, pain or discomfort.
When we're stressed, our breathing patterns shift, either speeding up or pausing, which impacts our muscles, tendons, and joints.
On top of that, living a life filled with extremes: a sedentary lifestyle or too much exercise and not enough self-care doesn’t help us in the long run.
I encourage clients to be aware of their breath and develop a relationship with their bodies and practice moderation.
Let’s take a deep and slow breath in through the nose…on the count of 6 or 7
Breathe out through the nose….on the count of 6 or 7
Feel a difference? Regardless of the answer, you could use a massage!
Now that we’ve connected with our breath, let’s talk about the physical…
Massage Therapy has a multitude of benefits.
Whenever we perceive something as stressful, we tense up…
Studies show how massage can decrease cortisol (stress hormone), relax muscles, improve sleep, improve posture and more.
At TOKPA™, we are a team. During a session, your breath is your friend, and it helps me to help you.
TOKPA™ is a perfect blend of mental and physical. I guide you while you’re on the table so you can apply everything you experience: work -- sleep -- eating -- exercise & fitness goals -- pregnancy/ postpartum -- beyond.

Tokpa ™ Deep Tissue Massage utilizes oil, and a range of specialized techniques performed with the hands, elbows, forearms, and massage tools. This service combines relaxation techniques with methods designed for lasting results.
For clients looking to address the root cause of physical discomfort and pain, I incorporate table exercises and mobility work, along with take-home exercises.
For those seeking relaxation, I offer sessions inspired by my experience working in spas.
I work with woman during all trimesters. Interested in prenatal and postpartum massage? Check out my sister site, Tokpa™ Prenatal Massage Therapy!
Thai Massage
Over the past decade, my Thai Massage sessions have transformed significantly.
Rooted in Traditional Thai Massage, typically performed on a mat, my techniques have developed into a dynamic dance between myself and the client.
The session is performed with the client fully dressed in loose, comfortable clothes. It consists of stretches and firm pressure, utilizing my knees, hands, elbows, and even the client’s body as tools. Thai Massage has proven to be an excellent method for clients to release not only muscle tension but also pent-up emotions.
