A Bit About My Journey.
Tarica Danielle's journey into the world of healing through touch began at the tender age of 9. She vividly remembers the anticipation of career day in elementary school, eagerly waiting for her turn to share her dreams. As she proudly proclaimed that she wanted to become a masseuse, the reaction was far from what she expected. The teacher's surprise and lack of support left her puzzled. Little did she know that the word "masseuse" carried negative connotations in America, associated with inappropriate activities. Despite this setback, Tarica remained undeterred and in her early high school years, she began honing her skills by offering massages to classmates, even setting up makeshift massage stations in the classroom.
However, as graduation approached, Tarica found herself drifting further from her true path. Engaging in unhealthy habits and lacking direction, she was far from prepared for what lay ahead. However, a pivotal moment occurred when her boyfriend at the time took the initiative to sign her up for a presentation at the National Massage Therapy Institute. His belief in her sparked a profound shift in her life, setting the stage for the manifestation of her dreams.
With experience gained from working at various spas in Virginia and Washington, D.C, Tarica took a leap of faith and started her own event-based and mobile massage business called "Manifest, The Wholistic Approach." As time went on, she rebranded and transformed her business into "Manifest Station LLC," transitioning from a mobile company to a stationary wellness center. Through dedication and perseverance, she officially incorporated her business, acquired her first property, and cultivated a loyal and discerning clientele. Quality over quantity became the mantra, as serving her clients felt like connecting with soul family.
