We believe every warrior deserves peace
We created Warriors' Peace to make a difference for our Veterans. Those of us who founded Warriors' Peace are CranioSacral Therapists and since CranioSacral Therapy is our personal expertise, we felt there must be a way for us to make an impact in that area. CranioSacral Therapy has been shown to help positively impact PTSD as well as stress and trauma. We understand that working through trauma and PTSD is not a one size fits all approach and certainly not a 'one and done' experience. We believe that CranioSacral Therapy can be one piece of that puzzle for individuals that have experienced PTSD and trauma.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

Tammie Sparks
Tammie Sparks is a Master Bodywork massage therapist. Her specialties include Craniosacral therapy, oncology massage, manual lymphatic drainage, and bridging the mind body connection. During her husband’s deployment to Iraq in 2005, Tammie took on the role of the Family Readiness Coordinator, an integral part of the soldier’s wellbeing during deployment. This role gave Tammie firsthand knowledge of the struggles associated with a soldier's deployment and the hardships endured by the families at home. After her husband’s return from Iraq, Tammie knew she wanted to support him in a Holistic Healing approach in tandem with traditional VA assistance. Upon this realization, she transitioned from her accounting job and immediately pursued a career as a massage therapist supporting and promoting physical and mental health. She worked as an Oncology Massage Therapist at Huntsman Cancer Institute in the Integrated Wellness Center. She currently has a private practice focusing on Veterans, cancer patients and anyone who seeks to build their “Mind, Body and Soul Connection”. Tammie's unique style and level of caring is truly special as is her passion for assisting those seeking to improve the quality of their lives.
