Tamara Stender

Tamara M. Stender is a James Island native who completed her massage training at Trident Technical College in 2008, after studying theater and French at Florida State University. She believes that massage is an integral part of a healthy lifestyle and she is passionate about sharing it with others.

Tamara’s training includes Swedish, Deep Tissue, Active Isolated Stretching, Sports Massage, Hot Stone, and Nurturing the Mother® by Claire Marie Miller Pregnancy Massage. She is also a Reiki I practitioner.

Tamara believes that everyone has different needs; therefore, her massage varies from person to person according to what the body and the person tell her. She believes in whole-body wellness and diligently strives for balance on all levels – physically, emotionally, spiritually. She believes that adding massage to a health regimen of proper nutrition and exercise will help to achieve that balance.

In her spare time, Tamara runs, practices yoga, grows herbs and flowers in her container garden, and has recently taken up learning to play the saxophone.
