Meet our Certified Massage Therapists

Brandon's journey into the world of movement and kinesiology began at a young age, where he naturally gravitated towards physical activities like bike riding, roller blading, climbing trees, and playing sports. His boundless energy and constant motion nurtured a genuine passion for kinesiology and the wonders of an active lifestyle. However, as he experienced a significant growth spurt during high school, he encountered soft tissue issues that became a recurring challenge.

It was during this period that Brandon stumbled upon the healing power of massage therapy, which opened his eyes to the intricacies of the neurological and muscular systems and how they harmoniously function together. This revelation kindled a deep-seated fascination within him.

In pursuit of honing his skills and formalizing his expertise, Brandon embarked on a transformative journey, graduating from NHI (National Holistic Institute) in San Jose, California, in 2014. His comprehensive training encompassed over 1000+ hours of rigorous instruction, solidifying his understanding of various massage modalities.

Since then, Brandon has been actively working in the Bay Area, dedicating himself to expand his hands-on experience while providing relief to those suffering from pain and discomfort. Armed with an insatiable curiosity and a genuine desire to help others, he strives to address clients' concerns with empathy and a holistic approach.

Brandon's skill set comprises a diverse array of massage techniques, including:

• Neuromuscular/Trigger Point Therapy • Deep Tissue Massage • Myofascial Release • Swedish Massage • Shiatsu • Pregnancy Massage • Sports Massage • PNF Stretching

His expertise in these modalities enables him to customize treatments and cater to the unique needs of each individual seeking his care.

As an experienced and compassionate massage therapist, Brandon's goal is to help clients regain comfort, mobility, and overall well-being. By integrating his in-depth knowledge of the neuromuscular system with a range of therapeutic techniques, he seeks to empower his clients to lead active, pain-free lives.

Brandon remains committed to his journey of growth and education, continually seeking ways to refine his skills and expand his understanding of the human body. His dedication to his craft and his genuine passion for helping others make him a valued and trusted partner on the path to wellness.

My experience in sports medicine led to my passion for deep tissue massage therapy. Since becoming a certified massage therapist, I never felt like I worked a day in my life because I love what I do every day. With over 900+ hours of training and education from one of the Bay Area’s most highly rated institutions, I can combine focused work therapy and my creativity to make a positive difference. With over 5 years of experience, I am confident in producing results for each individual’s unique needs. When I am not working with patients on their goals, you can find me teaching kids how to play the dhol drum, performing on the weekends around the bay, and hiking with my husky, Diesel.
