Our Mission and Team

Tami Richards started Body Kinect to create a community of experienced practitioners that want to share their passion and knowledge of wellness with the community. She works as a therapeutic massage therapist as well as teaches yoga and workshops.

Tami graduated in 1989 with a degree in Physical Therapy Assistant. She worked in a variety of settings and continues to maintain her license and go to continuing ed classes. In 1991 Tami decided to return to school for massage and became a licensed Massage and Body Work therapist where she specializes in therapeutic massage. In 2001, Tami attended yoga teacher training certification at Yogaworks in Santa Monica, California. She assisted many instructors, spent most of her time in therapeutic and Anusara-style classes, and then continued Anusara study at the Center for Yoga in Los Angeles.

Tami finds balancing the body and mind, connecting with breath and laughter facilitates positive change. She feels passionate about doing bodywork on her clients and opening up space in the body then following with movement to make lasting changes within your body. She works and teaches eclectically and draws from her work as a physical therapy assistant and massage therapist.
