Brittany’s journey to massage therapy came about through their love of learning, building connections, and a desire to provide a safe, healing space. They address their patient’s needs with the utmost compassion, empathy, and understanding. Brittany is extremely passionate about creating an inclusive and non-judgmental space for folks who are neurodivergent, live in larger bodies, and are a part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community. In the future, they plan to further their education in scar tissue massage, fascial unwinding, safe gender/trans-affirming homecare practices, and trauma-informed care. Brittany graduated from the Canadian College of Massage & Hydrotherapy in May, 2023. Throughout their studies, they have participated in multiple student clinics including relaxation, arthritis, invisible illness, and neurology. By doing so, they have treated many patients with different conditions including parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, TMJD, chronic pain syndromes, symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, and much more. These experiences have allowed Brittany to take a patient-centered approach to treatment while empowering their patients, and encouraging balance within the mind, body, and soul. To accomplish this, they educate their patients, facilitate movement, and incorporate techniques such as General Swedish Massage, myofascial release, passive stretching, joint mobilizations, deep diaphragmatic breathing, and more. Brittany believes that every person that comes into their treatment room has the potential to achieve their goals if they are patient, gentle with themselves, and can meet themselves where they’re at. Outside of their practice, Brittany enjoys making art, cooking, baking, watching cartoons, playing video games, and taking their two cats, Reggie and Coco, for a stroll (and they will certainly show you photos upon request.) Brittany is incredibly excited to connect and hold space for you.
