Amanda "Mandi" Parker has been a licensed therapist in Tennessee since 2004.  She received her initial massage training at the Institute of Therapeutic Massage and Movement (now Mind Body Institute), and since then has taken continuing education in dozens of modalities, but finds pleasure in the massages most people have heard of such as prenatal, deep tissue and hot stone, while having a great referral network for clients looking for modalities such as craniosacral and lymphatic. 

Since getting her license in 2004, Mandi has provided massages everywhere from spas and chiropractic offices to a multitude of offices around the Middle Tennessee Area with her chair massage company. Mandi has put her training in elementary education to use by teaching within the massage field.  She was one of the lead instructors at Mind Body Institute from 2007 to 2020, where she taught primarily business and massage law.  After retiring from MBI in 2020, she started her own Continuing Education company, TenneCE, and delights in having hundreds of therapists in her classroom every year.  Currently she only teaches the Law and Ethics of massage, but plans on expanding her class offerings in the coming CE cycle.

When not working, Mandi enjoys playing video games with friends from around the world, taking in the latest movie with her sister, learning a new artsy craft, or trying out a new recipe in the kitchen.  She also enjoys occasionally working at The Alchemy Room Candle Bar in Murfreesboro where she helps people design their perfect candle, room spray or body scrub scent while enjoying a glass of fresh kombucha. 

Mandi lives in Old Hickory with her husband and two dogs.
