Hi!
My passion is helping people in pain find relief and uncover possible causes. It’s my favorite thing to do actually! Pain has a way of creeping in and taking hold and because it’s so different for everyone, sometimes we might not be able to find the help we need with traditional routes. Especially, if you're looking to avoid medications, injections, and surgeries. While I always recommend my clients adhere to dr guidelines, I also understand, that you may need a more nurturing and nuanced approach to navigating pain management. Sometimes, it just takes one person who can acknowledge your pain in a real way and give you an action plan to start seeing and feeling real results.
I take this work seriously and I constantly strive to learn more so that I can better help the people who find me. I am always working on my own fitness and health to have real life experience with the recommendations I give clients. I’m also always taking classes on anatomy, yoga trainings, fitness trainings, and professional development.
One thing that sets my work apart is the education peice. For me, it’s not enough to massage you and say “goodbye”. During your session my brain is constantly figuring out what tissues are pulling joints and why you might be experiencing discomfort. So of course, I have to tell you about everything I found out in your session! I’ll write out muscle groups that are short and dysfunctional so you can do your own research as well as a list muscle groups that need strengthening and exercises to help! So you can “WORK SMARTER, NOT HARDER” yeah I'm a huge nerd about pain and excercise!
I love educating my clients on their posture and pain. This is where we become a superhero team for your body. If I don’t have answers then I will find someone who might be able to help.
At some-point in all our lives, we need a team of superheroes and lucky for us I have a whole list of specialists ready to be recommended. Whether its chiropractors, nutritionists, yoga therapists, gyrotonic therapists, psychologists, Functional neuroloigsts, and Physical therapsists, the list goes on. None of us can do it all. So it’s best to have a team!
My genuine hope to everyone I meet, is that you find peace in your body and I'm so honored to be even a small part of that journey.
Thank you for being here!
Brandi
