Services
Deep Tissue Massage
This technique targets chronic muscle tension through sustained pressure on deep muscle layers. Combining with Craniosacral Therapy, it addresses both physical discomfort and nervous system regulation. Practitioners use varying pressure levels to break adhesions while maintaining client comfort, particularly effective for repetitive stress injuries and postural imbalances.
Craniosacral Therapy
Gentle manual therapy focusing on the central nervous system's membranes and cerebrospinal fluid. Practitioners use light touch to release restrictions in soft tissues surrounding the brain and spinal cord, particularly beneficial for migraine relief and trauma recovery while promoting overall neurological health.
Myofascial Release
Specialized technique addressing the connective tissue network surrounding muscles and organs. Practitioners identify and resolve fascial restrictions that contribute to chronic pain patterns, improving mobility and reducing discomfort through sustained manual pressure and stretching.
Somato Emotional Release
Integrative approach combining physical therapy with emotional processing. Practitioners guide clients through releasing stored emotional trauma while addressing corresponding physical manifestations, particularly effective for post-traumatic stress and abuse recovery through gentle manual techniques and guided dialogue.
Intense Injury Recovery
Specialized program for acute and chronic injuries requiring frequent treatment. Combines multiple therapeutic modalities for MVA recovery, sports injuries, and severe musculoskeletal imbalances through structured 60-minute sessions scheduled 1-2 times weekly for optimal healing.

Brandin is the best massage therapist and craniosacral practitioner I have found in Portland. I was recently in an auto accident and her intense injury recovery sessions have been really helpful. She was able to get my elbow feeling better in just a couple sessions. Her space is calming, peaceful, and welcoming. I highly recommend seeing Brandin!

I rarely write reviews, but the two massages I got from Brandin are worth writing about. Im pretty picky about my massages but hers were perfect for mefirm and thorough. It was key to my recovery from a painful neck injury.

I made an appointment with Brandin and she never showed up. I received the appointment confirmation and my credit card was even run for confirmation of appointment. I will update this review if I ever hear back from Brandin and this situation is made right. I sat in my car for 30 minutes waiting.

Brandin is truly a master of her trade. I have seen her for a few times now for a pinched nerve and she truly has been working magic on it! I also just tried the 90 minute combo session of deep tissue and craniosacral and I think I'm hooked. A deep feeling of calm and relaxed took over me that I can't ever recall feeling. She is really, really talented at what she does. I feel very blessed to have found her.
