TAMA is the story of our passion.
It was during her child’s prolonged battle with cerebral palsy that Tina Abnoosi’s journey to founding TAMA Research began. She a small amount of electrotherapy to be resourceful in providing relief to her daughter’s spastic muscles, gaining balance, and in helping the body heal.
However, Abnoosi found the existing equipment on the market to be outdated and cumbersome. It seemed some could not deliver sustainable results. Inspired to find a better solution and using her strong electrical engineering background, Abnoosi found the courage to pursue the vision of a healed world with a device that would connect, heal and rejuvenate through bioelectromagnetic energy.
This is when she met biomedical engineer and researcher, Ali Shambayati, an exceptional instrument designer who had his own experience with paralysis and the healing capabilities of electrical therapy. Having set his own goal twenty-five years prior to design a piece of equipment to heal unresponsive nerves, Abnoosi and Shambayati would become each other’s final element in bringing their missions to life.
Fueled by a common passion for holistic methods toward health and beauty, the two teamed their skills in microcurrent to create a novel technology set to revolutionize the medical and aesthetics industry. Together, they founded TAMA Research and began their work in developing rejuvenating therapy options that focused on rebalancing cellular activity with four fundamental MetaWave™ modalities. The intertwining frequencies within each modality speak the body’s own language and trigger chemical reactions at a cellular level.
Powered by unique and patented technology and designed for optimum usability and efficiency, TAMA devices continually break the mold for electrotherapy in order to give more people access to the power of facial and body energy therapy.
