Working in caregiving inspired Brianna to want to help people improve themselves holistically. She loves working with everyone, but especially enjoys being able to massage working class people who don’t typically get to experience that kind of care. She is especially well known here for her lumbar and hip mobility techniques, as well as her deep tissue work. When not fixing sore hips or providing stellar scalpwork, Brianna spends time hiking all over the state, gardening, cooking and caring for her two orange kitties, Lazlo and Juno.
