Passion.  A one-word description of what supports the work we all do here at Advanced Training Techniques.  My name is Tara Arcusa, and I am the Director of Massage Therapy services and a Certified Personal Trainer.  This journey for me is one of sharing the knowledge and hope for everyone to “live” this life the best way possible.  As a professional Massage Therapist over the past 7years, I’ve gained the knowledge of how to aid our bodies help themselves to reset, relax, and rejuvenate.  Now, I strive to expand that knowledge by understanding how our bodies work in form, function, and correction being a Personal Trainer.  It is an indescribable feeling when helping someone work towards being a better person than when you first met them.  That is exactly what we do, one session at a time.

Back in 2002, I had attended one of the few schools that actually existed for Massage Therapy at the time, and that was in Grand Blanc!  The Flint School of Therapeutic Massage was a wonderful blend of educational reading and hands on methods to cultivate some of the best therapists I have ever had the pleasure to know.  Since then I have had experiences working in Spas, Chiropractic offices, Yoga Studios, mobile Private Practice, and has even led me to completely relocate.  Driven by my passion to help others, I had moved to Florida performing Massage Therapy and spending some quality time getting to know some of my extended family.  So I am a Certified Massage Therapist in Michigan, licensed by the State of Florida (MA49727), Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork (NCTMB), ABMP member since 2002, and as soon as Michigan finishes their mandates, I will be licensed here as well.  In the spring of 2008, I returned to Michigan to be a part of this organization, and in the process became a Certified Personal Trainer due to Mr. Steepe’s ability to teach so effectively about our bodies, how they move, and what it truly takes to care for them in the ways they were always meant to be.

I share my own journey of understanding our bodies by saying, “the proof is in the pudding.” This means, in less than a year we have recomposed my body to be 4 sizes smaller in jeans, and 2 sizes smaller in tops, not to mention the added strength, performance, and health benefits due to my physical training experience. We work as a team, a unit, moving forward together achieving success.   I love what I do, I now love how I feel, and would love to assist you in achieving the same personal successes in your own journey! Let’s begin today!
