Brianne Blaikie
Joined Team: April 2017
​
Specialties: Maternity Massage, Swedish Massage, Therapeutic Massage, Foot & Hand Massage
​
Certified Modalities: Maternity Massage, Hot Stone Therapy, Foot Scrub, Face Massage
​
Brianne attended the Massage Therapy 2200 Hour Diploma Program through Mount Royal University from September 2010 to June 2012. She started her massage journey nine years ago in 2011, between the first and second year of school. The idea was to be prepped and ready for the real world upon completion of her 2200 hours. A career in massage therapy chose her. She always loved the anatomy and biology of the human body, so this career path was intriguing. Brianne loves to provide relaxing and therapeutic massages and incorporates gentle stretching where needed, offering a deeper muscular relaxation without using large amounts of pressure. Her true love of massage is providing massage for new and expecting mothers; the female body endures so much during pregnancy. As a mother herself, she can sympathize with the muscle changes that occur through all stages of pregnancy and post-pregnancy. From Relaxing sore, achy muscles to providing at-home stretches, massage is very beneficial for both new and expecting mothers adjusting to their changing bodies.
