Tyler, LMT
Tyler started massage working on his dad’s back as a kid after he’d come home from his job as an electrician. However, Tyler began massage as a career after graduating from Georgia Massage School in 2023. Prior to massage, he worked for several years as a mental health technician in Dekalb County and for 6 years as a high school Arabic teacher in Philadelphia and Atlanta.
Tyler’s first and most important teacher is his mother Valerie who taught him empathy, listening and laughter. As for massage education, he has been recently focused on myofascial techniques taught locally by Carrie Taylor-Ollis as well as reflexology with Ko Tan at the Academy of Radiant Health and Laura Thompson at The Heal Center.
Outside of work, Tyler spends time every day getting humbled and schooled as a new dad by his infant Kiran and playing board games with his family on Wednesday nights.
