Amani Tiba, Tolland

Michael Tennant, LMT, offers massage therapy not just to help clients relax, but to help them nurture and love themselves—what's known as "amani tiba" in Swahili. To accomplish this, he takes a holistic approach to his practice. Physically, his treatments aim to relieve pain and improve circulation, digestion, and mobility. Mentally, they promote relaxation to balance one's mood and emotions, while spiritually, they give clients a chance to show themselves respect through self-care.
