Brian is a Nationally Certified, Florida Licensed Massage Therapist, Reiki Master, and member of the Florida State Massage Therapy Association. He is a graduate of the Coastal School of Massage Therapy in Jacksonville, Florida. Brian first learned massage techniques several years ago in a trade of learning with a licensed massage therapist in Maryland. Working on friends and family, his skills grew.
After moving to Florida he learned Reiki and has been a Reiki Master since 1997. He attended a local massage school one night a week with permission of the school’s owner. His focus was to extend his knowledge and increase his skills. He again practiced on family, friends and neighbors, and more friends. This was all done at no charge, as he just wanted to help people. It gave him a wonderful feeling to know that he had helped someone.
Deciding that massage was something he wanted to do full time, Brian enrolled at the Coastal School of Massage Therapy in September of 2001. During the 700-hour course (Florida state requirement is 500 hours), he learned anatomy and physiology, massage therapy, including various styles of massage. He had classes on Reflexology, Shiatsu, Polarity, Hydrotherapy, and Myofascial techniques. During school clinicals, he worked on 60 people in the school’s massage center. His techniques evolved to where he was combining things he had learned previously with things he had been taught in school. Brian graduated from school in May 2002, and passed the National Boards Exam for Massage Therapy in October 2002.
During the last few years, Brian has done many things from healing, teaching, and learning new things, like seeing problems in people, trusting the guidance that he gets when he is doing massage and energy work, and generally feeling out new energies. He has also been increasing his skills as a massage therapist, learning new styles and modalities of massage, and using many energy techniques to help him 'see' what needs the most work, and what movements would be most beneficial. He also continues to grow by learning many new energy techniques, and taking classes in psychic development and mediumship.
Brian currently draws on the knowledge of things he has learned and the experience that he has obtained, to become more in tune with what each person needs. His main goal is to help people feel and live better. He believes that whenever possible, we should strive to be positive, and live within the light.
Darkness can not exist in light. Even the tiniest speck of light can erase darkness. We must all strive to bring light to the darkness.
Everything is energy. If we learn to work with energy, then we can make things better.
The best way to learn about me is to visit my website, www.CaringPalms.com . The site is divided into three sections, Massage, Reiki (and other energy work) and Continuing Education (which I provide for Florida massage therapists).
The Massage side tells about the styles of massage I do and what they can do for a person.
The Reiki side tells about Reiki, Reiki sessions, and Reiki classes. This side also talks about other classes I teach which include Meditation, Massage For Couples, Astral Projection, and other energy work. It also has a segment called Ethereal Journal which is a blog about things I have done or learned. You will also find entries that just plain old teach.
The Continuing Education side has information on classes that are available for FL massage therapists (or anyone who wants to learn). These include Reiki and Body Mechanics for Deep Tissue work.
