Meet Our Boulder Massage Therapists

Brandy has been drawn to massage therapy her whole life. She began by massaging her dad’s shoulders and her grandmothers feet when she was 7 years old. She decided to become a massage therapist after receiving treatment for whiplash injuries. The care that she received really empowered her to follow a lifelong dream. She continually finds validation in her daily life that tells her this is where she belongs and where she can connect to a higher purpose. Her passion for belly dancing has also played a huge role in raising the awareness of her western mind. She moved to Boulder over 2 years ago in search of new challenges and to continue on her path of learning. The road has been long and I’ve come so far, but the journey is just a small part in the wondrous adventure of life.

Brandy recived her A.A. in Liberal Arts, and A.S. in Legal Studies from the Gulf Coast Community College. She received her Massage Therapy Certiication from Tom P. Haney Technical Center.

She likes to incorporate many techniques from different modalities to provide individualized treatment plans. More intense styles like Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, and Myofascial Release can be softened with Hot Stones, Swedish Strokes, and Quantum Touch.

Megan has always been interested in massage, even as a child. She received a B.A. in Painting and Philosophy at the University of Nevada, Reno. It felt like a great fit for her since the body itself is an artform. She went on to receive her certification at the Boulder College of Massage Therapy.

     I have always been interested in the body in motion; beginning with a passion for swimming since I was 5 ½ years old and later with an educational focus that included a degree in kinesiology, massage therapy, and body & skin esthetics. While my style can be catered to my client’s preferences, I am primarily trained in deep tissue and sports-specific massage. Our sessions will integrate detailed and focused attention to working out a painful muscle or muscle group while also allowing for the body and mind to relax and restore.

     Laina's background in dance strongly influences her approach to bodywork: One must find one's center in order to move out from it into the world.  In session, Laina follows her intuition and curiosity to meet each client where they are in that moment, and to help them reach their goals of balance, relaxation, integration, and optimal alignment.  Together, client and therapist seek inner quiet to develop outward peace and energy.

     My passion for people started when I was quite young.  My love for healing started in my mid-twenties (2002).  Empathy, care, compassion, and curiosity are words that I would use to describe how I feel and have always felt toward all people.

     I did my training at Olympia in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  I was raised in a small town outside of Kalamazoo and that is where I practiced my passion for healing.  Seven years later I sold my business and ran for the mountains...literally.  I live in Nederland and love the energy the mountains naturally provide.

     My favorite modalities for massage are deep tissue paired with energy work.  Together they work famously, releasing tight muscles and giving a sense of balance and a feeling of being more grounded.  I received energy work training in Kalamazoo at Subtle Energies in 2005.  I quickly realized that the training added another dimension to the deep tissue work that I was already doing.  I aspire to teach massage and energy work but to always be a practitioner of both.
