Title: Owner and Healing Artist  LMTNV1968

Bio: Tamara has been walking the path of a healing artist for over 20 years. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from UCLA with a BS in Psychology and a minor in Business, she immediately moved into massage therapy to integrate the body with her studies of psychology.  She continued with her goals of helping humanity integrate body, mind and spirit with her continued studies in the nature of all things to do with humanity looking and feeling their best.  After spending several years in Santorini Greece uncovering her spiritual side she returned to her family in Reno and incorporated her natural aptitude for the art of beauty.  She completed both the Aesthetics and Cosmetology courses from International Academy of Style.  She is now a Medical Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, Karuna Reiki Master, Aesthetician, Cosmetologist, Alchemical Hypnotherapist, Certified Aroma-therapist, and now a health coach certified through Integrative Nutrition.   Tamara is committed to her devoted spiritual path and practice focused on the Divine Feminine, she is deeply versed in Her history and how Her story continues to play through our modern paradigm: she is with Her takes on a much deeper meaning than a political moment in time.
She combines her many years of studies in the healing arts to create services that are holistic in nature and unique to Healing Wizdom; always looking deeper than the surface level to help bring higher health and holistic relaxation to our guests, no matter how simple the service. She sincerely enjoys training all of her staff to help them enhance their own unique styles and gifts and ensure that all the services performed at Healing Wizdom are of true quality.
Her favorite services to do are hair services for their great creative spirit and social nature, but she also is naturally gifted at the ‘most relaxing waxing in town.’  She has truly created superior waxing techniques, is naturally super fast, and has a great eye for line.  Her new passion is working on her 100% natural skin care line that is featured in our monthly specials that has definitely taken her own skin on a new journey of glowing ‘Ageless’ wellness: a truly different facial experience that she encourages everyone to try!  Her newest addition to her services however is now her all time favorite: her Shamanic energy work sessions in which her Healing Arts and your Spirit Guides help you uncover the wisdom of your soul, clear out the old and empower you on your individual path to wholeness!
Tamara’s favorite thing about Healing Wizdom is the fabulous group of people that work here and come here for services. We have true commitment to body, mind, and spirit health and integrity! True quality of heart is genuinely the bottom line in this family run business!
