Sitting Agency Officer: Timeeka Tardy

Someone saw skills & ethics in me that I didn’t yet see in myself. Now, a believer of all things capable thru my strengths, I wanted to be apart of creating and developing the foundation for the BAA. Being a provider, you have a front row seat to the horror stories and dark side of this industry. Time and time again I have been brought to tears by the way Dolls have had to journey healing. I knew that being a skilled and trained provider would only scratch the surface.

I have the privilege of working along beside motivated individuals that desire to take the Body Altering Aesthetics Industry to the next level. We work with science, expertise, dedication, and accountability so that they may uphold the standards and integrity of CSL. I promise to work diligently to add value to CSL as a director and set the standard for those who will follow in my footsteps.

“My mission is to add value to everyone I encounter. I am Timeeka Tardy the founder of Massages On The Move, I am a Master Massage Therapist, specializing in lymphatic drainage, sports massage, CSL Post Operative and Body Contouring treatments. I am honored to be a CSL Post Op provider and Director of the Post-Op Indur Agency.

As a strong believer in the power of positive touch, I love empowering others to understand their bodies and discover the gentle power of the healing arts. I enjoy being able to provide a safe and nurturing atmosphere. I am always looking to integrate new treatments and therapies into my practice and believe that continued learning is important for advancement and improvement. As part of my philosophy, I strive to both educate and motivate, while empowering others to live better and healthier lives.

This journey of adding value to others started long before I was able to recognize it. As a child I often longed to be in the NBA yes, the NBA! Basketball was a passion and an outlet for me. I’ll have to admit I wasn’t the best at it, but I ALWAYS GAVE IT MY BEST and it resonated throughout my sports career with my coaches an teammates. I was salutatorian of my high school graduating class.  After becoming a mother to my eldest son Keynote’ while still attending Jackson State University, I learned the art of balance. I then started to work in healthcare and with human behavior. These experiences gave me an encompassing perspective of the body. Through my journey I’ve had several bumps and falls. I always managed to get back up and start again. Even thru a trapped marriage flooded with abuse which would lead me to my divine calling.

After welcoming my second son Khyden, who saved me from myself, I would truly see my worth and stated to believe that I could in fact add value to others. I began to search for my calling. I soon realized that I was searching for something that I couldn’t find simply because my purpose was God given. I was distinctly chosen to share my gifts with the world [and receive massive compensation for them]. I started with talk therapy which I quickly became bored with. I would soon be introduced to touch therapy and the rest is history. I used my desire to beat the odds and put my all into the learning the art of positive touch.
