As a relative newcomer to the Hudson Valley from Brooklyn, Tagan is sensitive to the changing demographics of the area, and utilizing healing and community activation space to promote wellness not only in clients' mind and body but also within the larger community.

Lindai’s Bodywork is a sanctuary for healing and holistic health that came alive with the purpose of providing a holistic approach with high quality services, specifically Traditional Thai Massage, Reiki, 13th Octave LaHoChi and the Raindrop Technique.

Another big part and goal is to educate and share these healing modalities, so people have the tools for their own self-care and don't have to rely on a practitioner. The vision is to empower people to take care of themselves.

We encourage and support fellow entrepreneurs who align with our values and are on a similar mission to help people heal themselves and make this world a better place.
