Affectionately known by many as "Tai from Thailand", TaiScott Ponder was born in Bangkok, Thailand and is the owner of Agape Touch by Tai. Scott was drawn to preventative medicine, health sciences, and wellness at an early age. His fascination with human anatomy and physiology eventually led him to being accepted into prestigious biomedical research programs. During two life changing summer internships, Scott had the opportunity to study the affects of cholesterol on atherosclerosis alongside highly accomplished professors at both Morehouse School of Medicine and Notre Dame University. Scott furthered his studies by earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology at Xavier University of Louisiana and completed a physical therapy internship at Premiere Physical Therapy in New Orleans during his Senior year. Shortly after graduation, Scott completed a medical assistant program and externship at Cardiac Disease Specialists in Atlanta. Scott's passion for holistic medicine led him to enroll at the Atlanta School of Massage where he earned certifications in Swedish/Deep Tissue Massage, Reflexology, NeuroMuscular Therapy, Spa Therapies, and Seated Massage. Scott is also CPR and AED certified and has received additional training in Shiatsu/Thai Massage, Sports Massage, Pregnancy massage, Hot/Cold Stone therapy, and HIV/AIDS awareness. Scott understands the impact stress from everyday life has on the body and uses massage to facilitate the body's natural ability to physically and emotionally balance itself. Through Agape Touch By Tai, Scott strives to create an unconditionally loving environment where everyone feels welcome, nurtured, and supported throughout the restorative and healing process.
