For as long as Brandy can recall, massage has been an integral part of her life. Massage was a common means of bonding while growing up and this cultivated a deep respect for the form of touch as a mode of communication and as a healing art. Brandy is a graduate of the 2200 hour WE (Western / Eastern) massage program developed by the Calgary based Canadian Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine as well as a graduate of the 4 year intensive acupuncture and herbal medicine program taught at the same institution. Two years ago, she started down the path of an exciting new adventure after being accepted into the 5 year Osteopathic Manual Therapy course offered by Escuela Osteopatia Madrid, based out of Spain.
Depending on the individual needs of each client, a typical treatment can include general relaxation massage as well as incorporate techniques from different modalities such as deep tissue, therapeutic, tui na, thai massage, acupressure, hot stone, cupping, gua sha, heat and essential oils. Many of these treatments are great for pre- and post- natal clients and children. Brandy is working towards acquiring a predominantly female focused skill set in order to master in an array of women’s issues. With the integrative belief that all components of the human are equally important as well as intricately connected, Brandy is a strong believer that physical therapy can be used to attain wholeness on all levels.
