Hello, I'm Taylor Tidwell, both a Licensed Louisiana Massage Therapist and Yoga Instructor. In my massage sessions I love guiding others to that place right in the middle of what in Sanskrit is called sthira and sukha. In english this can be translated as effort and ease. That in between space, that place that exists on the threshold of holding on and letting go, that is where true healing takes place.
This is what I seek in all of my sessions, a balance between depth and release. Many times I have been to bodyworkers and found great deep tissue technique but with no ounce of lightness. Then with others, I have found a total lightness of work but with no depth to really give me the relief I am seeking.

These luxurious Ayurvedic treatments known as bliss therapies from ancient India come out of the natural healing system of Ayurveda. They are completely unique in the way that they use warm herbal medicated oils and utilize different sense therapies to guide the individual back into a state of homeostasis.
What is today called "Thai massage" or "Thai yoga massage" is an ancient healing system that combines acupressure, Indian Ayurvedic principles, and assisted Yoga postures. The founding father of Thai massage was an Ayurvedic doctor named Jivaka Kumar Bhacca, who is revered in Thailand as the "father of medicine".

The Mini-Ayurvedic Retreat was exactly what I needed after a major life transition. Taylor was very sensitive to my needs and made sure I was comfortable and benefitting from each treatment. I walked in with tight muscles feeling worn out from a long road trip and left with inner peace and quiet. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

Taylor is one of the most skilled and caring massage therapists I’ve ever worked with. His dedication to study and learning has led him to study various modalities, and our sessions are often a blend of techniques addressing injuries and tweaked spots in in my body. I’m often blown away by just how. I’m often surprised by the amount of relief and ease I find in my body after a session with Taylor. He’s amazing!

Massages here are a wonderful experience - the space and vibe is lovely and relaxing .. and Taylor is extremely knowledgeable and professional.. I’ve become a regular, alternating between the Ayurvedic and Thai massage to resolve old injuries and regain flexibility (Only wish I had discovered this sooner)... highly recommend!

I started going to Refuge Massage about 2 years when I had a pinched nerve and now try to go monthly (minus the pandemic months) for a 90 minute massage. The best thing I've done for my mind and body! Taylor is professional, very knowledgeable, a good listener and very personable. I cannot recommend him enough!
