Brianna has been practicing bodywork for over 10 years and recently graduated with her diploma of Acupuncture in December of 2023 from Pacific Rim College. While she awaits her registration and license to practice Acupuncture in BC, she continues to deepen her knowledge of the body by offering massage. Brianna has dedicated most of her life to studying the body and desires for it to be a lifelong journey of discovery.
She became certified in Reiki and Quantum Touch energy work in 2012, then went on to study Thai yoga Massage in 2015, and received her level 1 certification in Jin Shin Do Acupressure in 2018. Since her first trip to Southeast Asia in 2010, Brianna has felt a strong kinship and reverence for Eastern Medicine and Philosophy. She came to Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda through her studies in herbal medicine with the East West School of Planetary Herbology. Upon completion of this course, Brianna spent a few years offering herbal and nutrition therapy and consulting to clients in Salt Spring Island and Vancouver. Apart from her formal training, she has gained so much knowledge of the body kinesthetically through her years playing sports, dancing, and practicing somatic movement, and somatic therapy.
Brianna is devoted to inspiring the body’s innate healing wisdom and strength. Through the practice of deep somatic listening, presence, breath work and sensing she talks to the whole body system, helping it to down regulate, relax and surrender to gravity. She approaches every body from a compassionate, trauma informed, inclusive lens. Her sessions are informed and inspired by her training in Reiki, Quantum touch, Embodied Relational Gestalt, Thai yoga massage, Acupressure, Somatic meditation, Somatic movement, breath work, and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Alongside her studies of holistic health and the body, Brianna has a diverse background in Permaculture Design, Natural building, Weaving, Foraging, Medicine crafting, Dance, Music, and Writing.
