Tameko Dandridge is the Owner and Founder of Dandridge Etiquette and Protocol Academy. Part of the vision of DEPA is the promotion of self-love, self-care, and the development of one’s health and wellness. This part of the vision speaks to Tameko’s heart to see people healed from painful situations and traumatic experiences. Educated by both her own experiences and higher learning, Tameko understands not only how challenging the road to healing can be, but she also knows some of the tools that are needed to get there. In the process of becoming a Certified Massage Therapist, and Certified Blac Thai/Assisted Stretch bodyworker, she realized that the practice of massage therapy created a safe place for people to relax, release and rejuvenate; It became a place of healing for her as well.

She has also attained an Associate of Applied Science and Bachelors of Health Service Administration Degree. Tameko has beautifully integrated the practice of Massage Therapy, and Assisted Stretch, into the fabric of DEPA, giving her clients a more explosive experience. In 2022 Tameko began working at the Trap Yoga & Massage Studio as a certified bodyworker. Tameko has helped clients reach more flexibility, alleviate pain and tension in the body. Tameko does not limit herself to influencing the lives of loved ones but to everyone she meets. As she has hosted  Selfcare Parties, Couples Assisted Stretch classes, and was the Wholly Woman 2021 Virtual Live Restoration Main Speaker of Mindfulness and Meditation. During the beginning of the pandemic she also was a virtual panelist speaker on self-care and mindfulness & meditation for about 80 girls hosted by AKA's of Detroit. As a Christian, Tameko stands on the truth that God is the ultimate Healer, and He has given each of us our own part to play in the healing process.
