History

Established in 1993.

When I opened Bren’s Therapeutic Massage and Manual Therapy on December 1^st, 1993, in San Anselmo, California, it was the outcome of a life-​changing experience I wanted to share with others. After years of having been a Certified Weight Trainer (CWT) and studying at College of Marin, I experienced my first professional massage. I had been in a skiing accident and a recent car accident, I was in pain and had headaches all the time, after her treatment I felt like myself for the first time in years. As a result of this experience, I enrolled at Alive and Well Institute of Conscious Bodywork, in San Anselmo. I completed Certified Massage Therapist (CMT) training, and immediately rented an office, ready to help my clients.

Even with CMT training, I still had many questions about the body and how to work with injuries, so I enrolled in the Conscious Bodyworker (CBW) 580-​hour course. It was wonderful being able to choose classes I was interested in, as well as the required courses. Jocelyn Olivier (ICBW) and Victor Kim Santa, as well as many other great teachers, helped me achieve my goals. After finishing courses, Kim Santa invited me to attend his graduate course in Berkeley. With the financial help of Ama Helen, my father, and Laura Fannon, I was able to attend. This is where I learned Manual Therapy. By this time I had moved my office to a much larger space, and my reputation was growing. It was here at my larger office that Kim taught his very last class, and let me help him work with his clients. Before he passed away, I made a promise to him that I would continue his work and someday teach it to others.
