About Brandy Emrick


Brandy Rickard-Emrick
LMT, Reiki Level II
The Center of Natural Wellness 2013 Graduate

I specialize in treating the whole person - mind, body, and energy.

My wrof is rooted in deep tissue techniques that focus on relieving chronic tension, tight muscles, and stubborn knots. Clients often tell me that I "find exactly where to work" and let each session be guided by what I feel in the body that day rather than a set routine.

Each session is fully customized to you in the moment. I combine therapeutic massage techniques with focused deep tissue work, and when needed, I incorporate tools such as massage gun theropy and cupping to support deeper release and lasting relief.

My signature offering is an integrated massage and reiki session, blending physical bodywork with energetic work. I believe emotional stress often shows up as physical tension in the body, and this approach allows for a deeper level of release and rest.

Above all, every session is your time. I listen closey to your needs, adjust pressure and technique throughout, and focus on what will best support your body for that session.

Therapeutic Options

Every session is fully customized around your baseline physical needs

Therapeutic Massage

More than a relaxation massage, our customized sessions focus on relieving chronic tension, muscular discomfort, and stubborn problem areas. Using a blend of therapeutic and deep tissue techniques, treatments are tailored to your goals while supporting overall relaxation, recovery, and well-being.

Massage therapy is an investment in your overall health and well-being. Regular massage can help reduce muscular tension, relieve pain, improve circulation, increase flexibility and range of motion, support recovery from physical activity, ease stress, and encourage the body to enter a more relaxed, restorative state.

Reiki Treatments

A gentle, hands-on wellness practice that promotes deep relaxation and supports the body's natural ability to restore balance. Sessions are designed to calm the nervous system, reduce stress, and help release physical and emotional tension that can accumulate in daily life.

For clients interested in a more holistic approach, sessions may include a Chakra Assessment to identify areas that may feel energetically out of balance. Specific essential oils can also be incorporated to complement each Chakra to create a personalized healing experience.

After receiving a reiki session many clients leave feeling deeply relaxed, more centered, mentally clear and physically lighter.

Massage & Reiki

More than a massage, this integrated treatment is designed to restore balance from the inside out.

Designed to care for the whole person, this signature treatment combines the therapeutic benefits of massage with the restorative effects of Reiki. Focused massage techniques help relieve muscular tension, chronic tightness, and areas of discomfort, while Reiki promotes deep relaxation and supports overall balance and well-being. Together, these therapies create a personalized experience that nurtures the body, quiets the mind, and leaves clients feeling grounded, refreshed and renewed.

Perfect for anyone looking to address both physical stress held within the body and the mental and emotional demands of everyday life.
