“I know what it’s like to recover from severe whiplash and nerve damage and the care that is necessary for the healing process of regaining that mobility.”
Kirstin Brug LMT (Licensed Massage Therapist)
My best work helps others improve function and mobility in their body; relieving pain and tension so they can do what they love. Removing this weight from their shoulders, I know that whatever they get themselves into, they will have left their stuck energy behind so they can greet their new reality. It’s the look they have when they get off my table, like they found the space they needed to take a full breath.
I love this work and not only do I bring a lifetime of eager study to the table, but I also know, personally, the experience of healing through nerve damage and bringing my own body back to thriving when, for two years, I really didn’t think that was possible.
Through massage therapy and dedicated stretching and exercise, I was able to go from not being able to use my right arm at all and living with excruciating nerve pain that kept me down physically and emotionally to living out my dreams, not just my dream to become a massage therapist but also to get back to being able to play guitar! I know what it’s like to lose the use of an important limb and the care that is necessary for the healing process of regaining that mobility.
I received my formal education at Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy. I graduated and obtained my license in March 2021. There I received introductory preparation in Trigger Point Therapy, Swedish Deep Tissue Massage, Integrative Assessment, Myofascial Techniques, and Reflexology, as well as others.
Continued experience and education currently include Forearm Fusion and various stretching and positional approaches to improve range of motion. I am incorporating more Thai Massage and Reflexology techniques and well as leaning into Cranial Sacral Therapy.
If there’s something I’m not already familiar with, you can count on me to research your condition to make sure I can either provide the best care or refer to someone who can! Try me!
