Having experienced a spinal fracture thirty five years ago, I’ve suffered severe pain, continuous muscle spasms, and postural issues. A Rolfer in California helped me manage my pain and severe discomfort. When I moved to Palm Coast, I was concerned that I would have to forgo Rolfing treatments.
Alas, I found Brenda and she’s become part of my pain management team. She knows instinctively where to focus her treatment to relax the series of muscles that are causing me severe discomfort. Without her ongoing specialized massage, my quality of life would definitely be diminished. She’s an outstanding Rolfer and I can recommend her highly.

Brenda draws from a wide range of therapeutic methods, intuitively providing her clients with extraordinary pain and stress relief. Not only is Brenda knowledgable, but she is empathetic and has the ability to find the source and just the right touch for healing. In addition, if you are interested in learning more about an integrative healthy lifestyle, Brenda shares her vast nutritional knowledge . There is no one I would recommend more highly her magic hands and calming energy.

I can’t say enough good things about getting massage therapy from Brenda. I go for relief from arthritis and old strains and sprains because I can find no better pain relief, and I can get any therapy there is.

Brenda is one of the best massage therapists I have ever experienced. She is very intuitive and has healing hands. Her Rolfing technique is gentle compared to a prior Rolfing experience I had with a different therapist. Despite her gentle technique, Rolfing was very effective in realigning my musculoskeletal system to alleviate my pain. A technique that Brenda practices called Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is my favorite and the most effective technique she has used on me. It is an incredibly gentle technique with no risk of adverse effects that always balances my autonomic nervous system, which lets me enter into a deeply relaxed brainwave state. Having practiced meditation and mindfulness for many years, I know of no other technique that is as fast and effective for inducing a deeply relaxing brainwave state. It is when one’s autonomic nervous system is balanced, and when in a very relaxed brainwave state is where some of the deepest and profound healing in the human body can occur. I highly recommend Brenda as a well-rounded therapist who can personalize your therapy with a variety of tools in her tool chest.

Brenda is GREAT!! She helped me through a broken bone/surgery recovery with her massage skills. Her craniosacral therapy skills are amazing and I was most grateful for them after I suffered a concussion. I know I recovered faster with her help. Even my doctors were surprised by how fast I returned to normal function.

After a skiing accident in 1983 left me with 8 broken ribs (3 of them in two places) and hunched over posture, and after trying deep tissue massage with no lasting results, I finally decided to try Rolfing. Brenda spoke with me on the phone and answered all my questions and concerns before I made an appointment to see her, so I felt very comfortable putting myself in her hands (no pun intended). After my very first session, I was amazed to find myself standing up straight, chest open, and shoulders back–something I’d not been able to do in 20+ years. When I got in my car to leave, I had to adjust my rear view mirror–I was actually an inch taller! I continued with the full 10 sessions (I think I ended up needing 11 to undo all the damage) and it was without a doubt one of the best (if not THE best) investment I’ve ever made. I continue to see Brenda several times a year for “tuneups” and am always slightly amazed when I get compliments on my posture. Brenda has a true healer’s touch and I would recommend her unconditionally.
