Thank you for being here! My name is Temkia. Most call me "Meek". I am a wife and mother to some of the most amazing humans on earth.

Prior to opening Your Me Time Massage, I was a felony investigator. My husband recently retired as a police officer. I have always been goal-oriented and worked in many different career fields. And whether I was mentally there or not, things had to be done. WORK had to be done. Bills had to be paid, and my family had to be taken care of.

Sometimes I was running on fumes, but I couldn't show it or show up that way. I was diagnosed and prescribed medications for anxiety and depression. All of the years of stress, eventually led to me having to have a cardiac ablation for SVT. I have always been blessed, but I didn't know when or how to make time for myself. My idea of self-care was using paid time off, only to either handle other responsibilities, go to doctor's appointments, family emergencies, sickness, etc. There were many days of wondering if I would ever be able to experience a life where I could do what I love and be able to take care of those that I love at the same time. Always being of service to others through different forms of healing, was one thing of many that kept me hopeful, outside of my beautiful children.

I wanted more time with my family. I wanted to know what it felt like to be able to make time for myself. I wanted balance. 

So, when the pandemic hit, I made the decision to go to massage school, while working fulltime. And with the support of my husband holding down the fort "home", I completed my goal and opened Your Me Time Massage immediately afterwards. 

It has been the most rewarding journey. I couldn't be happier.

Not only am I able to make downtime for myself and know the importance of it, but I have had the pleasure of meeting other amazing professionals from different backgrounds that choose me as a part of their health and wellness for personalized therapeutic massage experiences.
