About Us

FOUNDER

Tonai (pronounced Tone-Eye), I am a versatile artist proficient in music production, graphic design, and video editing. Beyond the realm of creativity, I am a dedicated farmer with a focus on regenerative and sustainable practices. My journey began in 2012 as a cannabis grower in Southern Oregon and Northern California, evolving into food cultivation during the pandemic.

Having completed a 7-month internship with Rouge Farm Corps in 2023, I am committed to fostering culture change through New Cultivation. My farming education aims to create models for maximizing backyard garden space, ensuring food security and inspiring specialized growing projects. I envision serving those without land access, building an organized farming community, and expanding into food deserts.

At New Cultivation, my work transcends artistic boundaries, centering on Audio/Visual art design and education. My commitment to personal growth is evident through completing Communal Consults training, practicing somatic abolitionism, and obtaining certification as a peer support specialist in Oregon. I am not only an active performer and recording artist but also open for garden consultations, gearing up to teach classes in 2024 to share my expertise and contribute to a grassroots, sustainable food system.

Hello and welcome! I'm a licensed massage therapist with over a decade of experience, specializing in trauma-informed and responsive practices, deep tissue/myofascial release, energy healing and medical massage. My journey has led me to work in physical therapy clinics and chiropractic clinics, helping individuals on their path to healing and wellness. 

I offer valuable continuing education credits for licensed massage therapists in Oregon, with a focus on ethics, cultural competence, boundaries, and communication. These on-line courses extend to in-person weekend training, group retreats, and team building for staff, both in spa settings and medical environments.

My practice spans 10 years as a licensed massage therapist, and 24 years as a dedicated movement teacher. I am also a student of yoga, non-violent communication, and somatic abolitionism. My work with individuals intersects with social justice, communal yoga practices, and collaborative healing group practices.

As a coach, mentor, and certified peer support specialist, I've had the privilege of holding space for individuals and groups  of all ages, from youth to elders in personal transformation in the midst of global changes.I'm deeply committed to fostering a culture of holistic healing, individual empowerment, and community well-being. My work is rooted in compassion and a profound belief in the transformative power of healing touch, communication, and collaborative support. I look forward to joining you on your path to wellness and wholeness.
