Tend Tacoma

Tend Tacoma Licensed Massage Therapist, Educator; Relational Practice Hi! I'm Adele, and I'm a holistic massage therapist and mind-body mediator.

I help people figure themselves out. We access the power of touch to solve your mind-body puzzles with my practical, nurturing support. It's like having a scientist specializing in YOU, but instead of invasive tests, we use sensational experiments to decode your personal formula for vibrant health! My own health challenges inspired my research to recover my health, decode my own unique chemistry a

nd neurology, and share the knowledge I gained with other explorers. All the best learning experiments are Hands-On... so I became a Licensed Massage Therapist and worked with naturopathic inpatients, supporting cancer recovery, opioid addiction, chronic pain, trauma, and other complex challenges. My clients told me, during weeks and months of intensive procedures and interventions, I was their favorite practitioner because I was often the only one to help them feel better RIGHT AWAY. These days, I practice independently alongside Dr. Jill Dawrs Family Chiropractic, where I focus on helping people with pain, anxiety, and other neurological conditions. I do my best work with people wanting support with:

-Specific Health Challenges. Who is attending to your comfort? Listening to your experience? Remembering to focus on you and what you’re going through?

-Unknown Conditions. Who is helping you adjust to mysterious pain, stress, or limitations? Who is open to your experimental ideas? Shaking loose a new clue?

-Vague Sense That Something is OFF. Who can help check if your discomfort, fatigue, or restlessness is normal? Who checks in with all your body systems together, looking at the big picture? I believe everyone deserves to get to know themselves, and many of us need a guide to help ask the right questions and recognize the body’s answers. If you share my clients’ desires for practical, nurturing support, reserve a time to talk to me about your hopes for treatment. Or, Book an Appointment to check in with your whole body, assess existing pain, stress, and tension, and dive into understanding the subject you already know best: Yourself!

For those of us who tend to "over-give" or over-think, the ice acts as a clear boundary.It demands your full presence in the most refreshing way possible.

✨ I’ve found that this specific thermal shock from ice massage is one of the few things that can truly silence my "scanning" brain, allowing me to finally land in the present moment.

It is a bold sensation, but the reward is a level of stillness within, that is hard to find anywhere else.

🧊 When people hear "Ice Massage," they often think of sports injuries, but in the context of Still Waters, it is something much more poetic.

We use ice in direct contrast to deep heat, moving it rhythmically along the paraspinal muscles.

👉🏻 This thermal contrast is the engine that drives the Spinal Fluxion. The cold creates a sudden, bright awareness that pulls you out of your head and back into your body.

When followed by heat, it triggers a flood of circulation and a deep release that feels like a physical "exhale." 😌

If you’ve been feeling "bogged down" by the August heat, this is the ultimate antidote. Book now!

As someone who is neurodivergent, I often deal with "sensory overwhelm" by late summer.

💛 I love Spinal Fluxion technique because it provides a high-sensory experience that actually reduces internal noise. It offers the novelty my brain craves, within a structure that makes my body feel completely secure.

The result isn't just relaxation; it’s a feeling of being chemically "re-organized." 😌

It is a rare experience that leaves you feeling as though you’ve stepped into a brand new version of your own body.

I can’t wait for you to feel this. Book through the link in our bio ✨🕯

Most people have never experienced Spinal Fluxion, and it’s one of my favorite stories to tell through touch.

👉🏻 Unlike traditional massage that works on muscle fibers, Spinal Fluxion is designed to influence the fluid environment of your central nervous system. By creating a thermal "pump" along the spinal column, we encourage the movement of the fluid that bathes your brain and spinal cord.

The goal is a systemic "flush" that can help reset neurotransmitters and clear mental fatigue 💆🏻‍♂️

I invite you to experience Spinal Fluxion. Link in bio ✨✨✨

One of the first things that shifts on the table is your breath. Fuller. Slower. Your chest opens little by little. You remember you've been holding it this whole time.

😌 Come find that breath. Book through the link in bio.

Sometimes, a gentle touch isn't enough to break through the "static" of a busy mind.

🧊 When the ice massage meets heat along the spine, my system experiences a rapid, neurological reset.

There is a moment where the "noise" simply stops, replaced by a wave of sudden, clear-headed euphoria 😌

It’s like watching a wind-rippled pond suddenly turn crystal clear.

If you are looking for a reset that feels entirely new, strangely intense, yet deeply safe, I invite you to experience Spinal Fluxion.

August often feels like the height of the summer’s "noise," but beneath the surface, there is a craving for a deep, quiet stillness.

This month, I’m introducing you to my most unique offering of the year: Still Waters ✨

This session features a signature technique called Spinal Fluxion.

To anchor this experience, we use the rare scent of White Ginger Flower; a delicate, mysterious light floral.. like a hidden garden in the middle of a heatwave.

Perhaps this is the reset you’ve been looking for.

That knot in your shoulder didn't show up overnight. We don't try to rush it away either. This isn’t old-school “no pain, no gain” bodywork. We listen, we work slowly, and little by little… until… the story gets lighter.
