TIFFANY- Owner, Certified Massage Therapist, Yoga Teacher, Sound Healer, Reiki Practitioner
Owner of Kanna Spa, graduated from the National Holistic Institute in 2005, with 720+ hours of training in various modalities of massage therapy (Deep Tissue, Shiatsu, Myofascial Release, Swedish, Sports, Reflexology, Prenatal, Hot Stones massage, etc.) as well as health education. Soon out of school, she worked with both a chiropractor & acupuncturist and began her journey as a therapist. Her love of the basic concepts of yoga (such as the power of the breath, body awareness, clearing the mind & focusing one’s energy within the body), & her intrigue with discovering new ways to listen to & read the body through her hands, has led her to refine her talents as a therapist. She developed a unique style of addressing chronic body issues (such as pain, stiffness, stress & emotional holding patterns within the body) while allowing her clients to open up & achieve true relaxation through deep effective body work, patience, energy, trust, & intuition.
Tiffany practiced massage at The Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay from 2006-2011 where she benefited from working with wonderful therapists from around the world, received further training in luxurious spa-style therapies, & acquired a fine taste for quality service standards. Although she is fond of the spa setting, her most fulfilling work has been with clients who have sought after real body work versus the “typical fluffy spa massage.” She prefers to blend the two concepts, & various modalities, giving her clients the best of both worlds with typically more lasting results. In 2010, she opened a part time private practice in San Mateo, California, which blossomed into a beautiful full service day spa in May of 2012. In 2019, Tiffany was certified in the ancient healing techniques of Cupping (which seamlessly blends into any massage session) for greater healing & release, detoxification, circulation, relaxation & toning of the muscles.
After many years of utilizing yoga, sound healing, reiki and breathwork for personal healing, wellness & spiritual practice, in 2023, Tiffany decided to delve more into the practices that have helped her find greater peace, release, inner clarity & healing. She has since become certified in sound healing meditation, breathwork, (200hr RYT) Hatha Yoga & Yin Yoga & studied Restorative Yoga under Judith Lassiter. In 2025, Tiffany became certified in reiki in order to hone her empathic abilities to help others find more ease of flow of energy, healing, & balance within their body.
“One ancient practice seamlessly compliments & builds upon the others, each creating space, release & healing in their own beautiful, magical way. This journey within, through my studies, has been life changing for me. The way I feel within my body has completely shifted. It is my path & my passion to share that experience with others.”
Today, Tiffany integrates these ancient healing practices into her work, offering a deeper, more holistic approach that supports the body, mind, and spirit.
