Tiffany Ramey – Esthetician

 

Tiffany was born in Nashville, TN as the sixth of seven children. She moved to Memphis when she was a senior in high school. She married and started a family shortly after she moved here. She has three beautiful children, Kaiyla, Skylar, and Brylon.

She began to love the fashion and beauty industry as a child and her love for it only grew as the years went on. She attended cosmetology classes in Nashville and went on to attend Tennessee Academy of Cosmetology in Memphis for aesthetics. Her post-education experience was diverse and included specialization in Ancient Asian Esthetic Techniques, extensive training in skincare products, and learning about the use of organic ingredients and products. This combined experience made Champalou Spa a perfect fit for her!

Between some of her previous positions, she was able to be a stay-at-home mom, take care of her family, and homeschool her three children. She taught Children’s Sunday School at Fire and Glory Ministries. She still serves as an assistant treasurer. She enjoyed the years she was able to spend with her family, but she couldn’t wait to get back into aesthetics. She’s thankful to be at Champalou Spa where she can utilize her knowledge in skincare products and continue to be an educator to all her clients about their individual beauty needs. She’s passionate about helping people with their skin care goals and transforming their skin. She wants her clients to look and, most importantly, feel beautiful from the inside out.

champalouspaChris PhotoshopChris McKechnie – Esthetician

After retiring from the police department as a dispatcher of 35 years, my husband and I moved from the south suburbs of Chicago to Memphis in the fall of 2019. After our move, I was ready for a new adventure. Esthetics was always something of interest in my life. After starting school, I knew I was in the correct field. As my passion for the industry grew, I became more aware of the importance of a healthy skin care routine and ingredients in the products we use. I am continually educating myself on advanced treatments and new protocols to be able to provide the very best experiences for my clients.

Working at Champalou Spa has been a blessing in my life. This is a place where we all come to relax and escape the stresses of life. I am in love with all of our skin care lines. The clean ingredients we use have so many benefits. This has allowed me to share my knowledge with our clients so they can continue with them at home skin- care routines. My specialties include our Facelift Facial Massage, Dermaplane Facial, and our Collagen Facials. I love to see the results from these three treatments, whether they are done alone or combined within each other. The radiance and glow you see right away is astounding.

In my free time, you will find me reading a good book, listening to music, traveling with my wonderful husband and family, watching my favorite TV shows, and most importantly raising our sweet Aussiedoodle, Theo.

Tina – Massage Therapist

I was born in Memphis, TN and at the age of thirteen my family and I moved to the suburbs of Chicago, IL. After deciding to move back to Memphis, TN I knew it was the right decision. Here, I feel at home and enjoy being close to my entire family. I am the proud mother of two beautiful girls, NyTasha and Ezmer. However, being a grandmother to my three lovely grandchildren JaDarius, Zamya and Dante Jr are one of my greatest joys in life.

The wellness and beauty industry are a calling which I am grateful for. I am proud to be a licensed cosmetologist and a massage therapist with over 30 years of experience combined. Helping people feel beautiful and healthy is something I truly enjoy. I am incredibly passionate when it comes to my job, and I strive to continue my knowledge and skills so that I may always offer the most compatible treatment to my clientele’s needs. With my extensive knowledge on the anatomy of the human body, I specialize in Deep Tissue and Sports Massage. Between these two treatments, I have seen results that have improved my clientele’s life in a positive way.

champalou spa Tasha photoshop

Tasha – Message Therapist

I am originally from Vallejo, Ca. My family and I moved to Memphis, TN in 1991. What a change this was. I spent my summers at my grandparents’ farm and enjoyed every moment of it. I have one brother and two sisters, six nieces and two nephews.

While in school, I was always interested in sports. I played basketball in junior high and high school. After high school I was part of the Memphis Belles, Memphis Dynasty, and the Memphis TN Legacy Women’s Football Teams for eight years. Throughout this period, I was trying to decide between being an athletic trainer, physical therapist or a massage therapist. The past eleven years have been wonderful, I couldn’t be happier that I chose to become a massage therapist. Not only do I love to help my clientele feel relaxed while easing any tension they may be experiencing, but I love educating them on how to help their muscular and skeletal systems in between massage treatments. From my own personal experience with an injury, empowering anyone to improve their daily life is the best reward. I like to say, “relax the body and you can relax the mind”.

Throughout the last eleven years, I have been trained in many modalities of massage. This ranges from Traditional Swedish, Deep Tissue, Hot Stone, Hand and Foot Reflexology to Cupping, Bamboo and Raindrop massage. It is hard to choose a favorite technique as I enjoy the variety. No treatment is like the other and they each bring their own unique benefits to the treatment room.

I am a daughter of the Highest King Jesus, a wife, a momma to a 6-year-old, and a Massage Therapist. I am thankful to be in my 22nd year of practice as an LMT. Sometimes our time together is about working on acute or chronic muscle tension/pain/knots, and soft-tissue balance. Other times it is about healing, relaxing, and simply believe that it is a place where you come to be cared for, welcomed, and loved. I look forward to seeing you.

 

Megan Hill Massage Therapist Chapalou Spa

Megan Hill – Massage Therapist

I became a Massage Therapist because of having migraines on a consistent basis.  When I started getting massages on a regular basis I went from weekly migraines to monthly to maybe two a year. Massage changed my life and I wanted to help others with the same life-affecting issues.
