About Tayva

Shortly after discovering that I was pregnant in early 2006, I decided to make a life change for myself and my unborn child. I walked away from the stress and intense lifestyle of a professional lighting design career and went to school to become a massage therapist. There I focused on a calm, loving, healing career and lifestyle.

With a baby growing inside me I soon became interested in pregnancy and infant massage. After my son was born in August of 2006 I started using the techniques and knowledge I learned as a massage therapist with my newborn baby boy. It was such an amazing time for us. Taking the time to relax together with massage and song made our bond together strong.

I knew soon after he was born that I wanted to share this loving and amazing experience with anyone who would listen. I waited until he was nearly a year old and then took the Infant Massage Instructor course. Now, as a certified IAIM Instructor, I can teach other parents and caregivers to share in this timeless gift of massage.
