About
Rietta Brisco RMT

I graduated from the 3000 hour course from the Okanagan Valley College of Massage Therapy in 2014.
My treatments work with the body as a self healing instrument to help facilitate the release of restriction and tension in the body, as well as removing energetic and emotional blockages that can stem from trauma. During a treatment I use a range of modalities such as CranioSacral Massage, Muscle energy, Joint mobilisations, Yoga Therapy, Scar tissue release, Manual lymphatic drainage, Myofascial release, Neuromuscular therapy and hydrotherapy.
Currently I am taking courses through the Upledger and Barrel institute to expand my knowledge of Craniosacral Therapy to further help my patients on their path to healing. Craniosacral is a gentle technique that works with the body to relieve symptoms of chronic pain, restriction, chronic tension, trauma/PTSD, mental health, post concussion syndrome, headaches and migraines. I have a special interest in SomatoEmotional Release and helping my patients release stored trauma. Through SomatoEmotional Release we can process unresolved trauma, allowing your body to heal and let go.
When I'm not at work you'll find me taking my dog on adventures, hiking, paddle boarding, and appreciating the beautiful Okanagan.
​
I look forward to working with you!
