Our Founders HERstory
Hey y’all,
In celebration of Women’s HERstory Month, it would be remiss not to share our founder’s story with you - especially since many of you are new subscribers :) Welcome!
Founder and owner Tiana M. Duncan obtained her certification as a massage therapist in 2006 from the Brian Utting School of Massage. Since then, she has been licensed to practice in both Washington and Oregon state.
After years of honing her skills and craft, she finally took a leap of faith and started her own practice in 2017, which was known as MassageFit Solutions at the time. Her belief has always been that massage is not a luxury but a necessity. It’s something that you should do every 4 to 8 weeks and a part of your regimen!
It wasn’t until 2018 that Tiana opened her first massage studio in SoDo, where she still services her clients today. Tianaalso provides massage services in the comfort of client’s homes. In addition to massage therapy, she also teaches circuit training, kickboxing, and dance fitness, which are complementary to bodywork. For the past two years, she has partnered with the non-profit organization Friends of Seattle Waterfront to provide the public with free fitness classes on the Seattle waterfront.
Tiana is actively involved in promoting diversity, social justice, LGBTQ+ rights, and environmental preservation in her community. She established The Duncan Connection, a non-profit organization providing holistic resources, fitness classes, and swim lessons to underserved communities in South Seattle.
Through various community projects, Tiana has organized winter fitness classes, outdoor fitness classes, leisurely walks focusing on improving balance and posture, and initiatives to provide more access to fitness equipment in underserved communities. She also started a monthly movement series in January 2023, highlighting self-massage, stretching, breathing exercises, and more to promote mobility, strength training, and joint stability.

Happy Women’s HERstory Month!
Cheers,
Tiana M. Duncan
Owner of Team Indigo Movement
