Josué Tai

I’m a passionate massage therapist currently in the process of validating my qualifications in the US. I originally obtained my credentials in Mexico and China, and I’m now committed to furthering my expertise. Beyond massage therapy, I’m also a Tai Ji instructor and a consultant in Daoist Arts, which adds a unique dimension to my holistic approach to well-being.

My aspiration is to contribute to the massage therapist community, working together to elevate our profession and maintain our rightful place among healthcare providers. I’m excited about the opportunity to build connections, make new friends, and share knowledge within our community. Let’s grow and learn together as we aim high for excellence in our field. Feel free to reach out, and let’s embark on this journey of growth and collaboration.

Tina Payton

Hello, my name is Tina Payton.

In 2015, after my last child left home, I decided to become a Massage Therapist. 

Since that time, I have continued to learn and grow in this wonderful profession.  

I have been blessed with wonderful clients and have built a busy and successful business.

I have a passion for helping other LMT’s to also build a sustainable massage therapy business of their own if they desire.  

My passion for massage comes from my desire to help others heal, learn the importance of self-care, and self love, as well, as be in touch with their own bodies.

Though I came into the profession later in life, my plan is to continue massaging well into my older years. Therefore taking care of my health and my physical well-being is very important. It is something that I try to teach to my clients and other Massage Therapists when the opportunity presents itself.

I am excited about being a part of the San Antonio region for AMTA. And I look forward to meeting many other wonderful massage therapists in our area.

Ryan Harness

My name is Ryan Harness, and as of 09/16/2023, I am a licensed massage therapist. It is both incredible and surreal to state this as a fact, considering the journey I have embarked on over the past decade. Initially, I worked as a correctional officer in Carlin, Nevada and had aspirations of becoming a professional strongman. However, everything changed after a car accident left me unable to walk without severe pain. Subsequently, I was advised by two doctors that I would require knee and hip replacements. Although they recommended surgery, I chose to take a different path. 

Refusing to give in, I struggled for a year until I found myself seeking help from a massage therapist named Bobby Baum, who has now become a dear friend. After enduring intense pain during our session, I squatted 275 pounds, considering that I had not set foot in the gym for a year, this was unbelievable. 

In that life-changing moment, I became deeply fascinated by the power of massage therapy and the incredible impact it can have on a person’s well-being. I embarked on a journey of learning and growth, eventually landing a position working under a chiropractor who taught me valuable skills which were sent into high gear due to working on 20-40 clients 3-5 days a week.

My passion lies in alleviating the pain and suffering of others. Having experienced some of the lowest points in my own physical health, I understand the desperate desire to be able to wake up without pain and regain mobility. It is this empathy and drive that fuels my commitment to helping others through the art of massage therapy.

My door is always open for those who seek to better improve.. Together, we can overcome the challenges that we face, enabling you to find strength, resilience, and renewed vitality. Let’s embark on this transformative journey together.
