My experience

As a gifted + neurodivergent woman, I’ve trained in many modalities to calm my nervous system and focus my energy with intention to share healing opportunities with the world. Over 30+ years of training, I’ve cultivated my capacity to be present with myself and my clients in sessions of somatic coaching and embodied movement.

Last year I stumbled across something revolutionary.

Positive Intelligence® Coaching has impressed me with it’s simplicity, engaging structure, and effectiveness. I’ve relied on this practice to focus my mind during difficult times, allowing me to consistently access more compassion for myself and others! And, I love that it provides new opportunities for me to share the gifts of presence with a larger audience of people.

Let’s catch your saboteurs and Engage Your Sage!

If you or someone you know struggles with negative thoughts that may manifest as self-doubt, anxiety, overthinking, overworking, under-performing, conflict in relationships, loneliness, I can help.

I offer a free intro session to Positive Intelligence Coaching, which you can book here:

Great massage therapist. Let you know what's going on with your body while while doing the work. Very knowledgeable especially on sports injuries and orthopedic issues. If you are concerned about your well-being and are on a wellness journey I strongly recommend Tongen Touch massage.

I was looking for a massage while I was going through the grieving process, and found much more at Tongen Touch, she helped me move some things energetically and release emotionally during my massage which alleviated my physical pain. Worth every dollar and more, endless thanks and blessings Tina!

I found Tongen Touch after a paddling injury. I injured my shoulder to the point I could not use it and was an excruciating pain and made an appointment with her right away. It was the best thing I ever did she healed my pain and helped recuperate my whole back. If you're looking for a good massage therapist look no further!

Tina is a gifted massage therapist and healer! She has a proficient knowledge of how the body works and an amazingly intuitive touch. She thoroughly discusses any goals each person has and attentively exceeds all expectations. Her calm confidence and warm effective communication set the tone and her ability to guide people through a variety of techniques, movement, and meditative breathing is a unique and well rounded experience that you won't get with another massage therapist.

I am new to massage therapy and just had a wonderful, relaxing session with Tina. It was a complete massage with extra time spent on issues that I had mentioned as well as a few that she discovered. The worst issue (a sharp pain in my hip and thigh) was resolved by the massage! I left relaxed, pain free, and impressed. I highly recommend Tina.

Tina's an amazing massage therapist - by far the best I've ever experienced. I feel amazing after each session with her. For years, I've endured chronic back pain due to an old injury and I've seen many specialists throughout the U.S. but none of them have been able to help me like Tina has. Thanks to Tina, the quality of my life has improved greatly! I notice long term progress and improvement with each visit. If you're looking for highly specialized pain management therapist in St Pete, FL, I strongly recommended setting up an appointment today with Tina from Tongen Touch massage. You'll be glad you did!

I have been seeing Tina for prenatal massage therapy and would highly recommend her. Tina is a wonderful and professional masseuse who takes the time to provide personalized care. She is very attentive to her clients’ specific concerns and receptive to feedback. She creates a serene environment that allows for total relaxation. Thank you, Tina!

My husband recommended Tina for my pregnancy pain. I was not sure if It was going to help being this far along ( 8 months) but I left with zero pain in my body. She is very calm and tries to make sure she spends time on exactly what you need and want.

Tina is amazing!! Her technical skills are off the chart. She is unbelievable at relieving muscular tension and soreness. But perhaps more importantly, she is profoundly intuitive. She observes how your body reacts to each movement, and then focuses in on areas that you might not even have known were a problem. I regained a range of motion in my neck and back that I had not even realized that I had lost. And throughout, her approach is very spiritual and empathetic. I walk out feeling better about myself each time!

Great massage and experience! It was obvious Tina understood what my body needed, mentally and physically. She gave me awesome advice to help relieve some of my tension and used her magic to help relieve it herself. I feel so refreshed and already can tell I am feeling more positive and relaxed. It’s amazing what pain and tension relief can do:) Thanks Tina!

Tina’s attention to your holistic needs is unmatched. She uses her skills, intuition, and guidance to give you the best possible experience and outcome. It is so much more than a massage - it’s a whole mind-body experience!

Tina is very knowledgeable & professional. My neck pain greatly decreased after one session. If you sit in front of a computer all day, I recommend you see Tina for neck & back pain relief.

Tina was wonderful to work with. Very professional and knowledgeable. She even followed up with me to see how I was doing afterwards. I’ll definitely be booking another appointment with her.

I really can’t say enough how impressed I am with Tina. I purchased the 5 90 min massage plan after my first visit. This is not a regular massage. It is an experience. Tina really knows the human body and how to get the most out of your time with her. I would encourage anyone looking for a real stress reliever to give her a try. You will not regret it!

I am so happy that Tina moved back to Florida. She has so much knowledge & passion for massage therapy! Her many years of experience and continued love to learn are evident through her healing touch. I have neck, back & hip pain that has been aggravating me for years. She showed me stretches that have been helpful for in-between sessions & after a wonderful 90-minute session, I left feeling so much better. The immediate pain & stress relief helped me leave feeling relaxed yet energized.

Tina is a therapist unlike other that I’ve experienced. She used many modalities all in one appt so it was very comprehensive. There was some traditional “rubbing” like you get in a typical massage but she also moved my body in different ways like swiveling my neck around, and she also got onto the massage table and used her knees and feet on my legs and glutes. She was able to change pressures easily based on what I asked for. It was great. Thanks Tina!

This was my first therapy session and it was a wonderful first experience for me. Tina made me feel comfortable, she took time before the session to explain how it works and what to expect. She has a very calming voice and her massaging technique is very good. She was able to sooth out the tight muscles in my back and it relieved a lot of the stress I had. Tina was a great massage therapist and Im happy I chose her for when getting my first massage 😊

Tina is great! The massage I got was so amazing and I felt super relaxed after. Not only was the stress relief great, but she did awesome at soothing my tight muscles. I didn’t know how much I needed a massage until I was laying on that table. If you’re in the Tallahassee area looking for a masseuse, Tina is the person to go to!!
