About BrendaLee
Originally from small-town Alberta, I’ve been living in Edmonton for close to 20 years and practicing Massage Therapy for 17 years. I am very passionate about my career and grateful for the opportunities and experiences it’s given me.
In 2006, I graduated from the Grant MacEwan Massage Program and began working through a Chiropractic clinic. This is when I first started working on and off with sports teams. After a few years, I moved into a physiotherapy clinic and spent 10 years working on clients with diverse backgrounds and health situations. I gained experience working with motor vehicle accidents, post-surgical patients, chronic illnesses, and clients who’ve endured numerous types of injuries and traumas.
These experiences led me to study chronic pain & illnesses and their complicated effects on our bodies and minds.
Over the years, I’ve studied numerous types of massage and connective tissue courses, as well as various assessment and anatomy courses. Currently, I’m studying a form of body-oriented psychotherapy, called Bodynamics.
I’ve also had the rare opportunity of being a part of a massage class at the University of Alberta, both as an assistant teacher and lead instructor.
In 2020, I began my own practice and have since moved into The Terwillegar Counseling Center.
My Approach to Wellness
Attuned Wellness specializes in highly therapeutic massage treatments and somatic emotional release. Aiming to serve each client with individualized and innovative therapeutic techniques. Creating a safe place for healing to occur, we attune to both the body and the mind to best meet the needs of each client.
I believe in a respectful and intuitive approach to treatments and healing. Understanding how our bodies give off physical cues and following those cues, allows us to perform precise treatments that are unique to each person and respectful of your body’s capacities and limits. This allows the body to lead the way during the session, creating trust and effective treatments.
Starting from a background in sports and rehabilitation, I began to specialize in working with chronic pain. This is where I started to learn the significance of focusing on mental & emotional health and its connection to our physical health. Pain can be both physical and emotional. After nearly 17 years of working with the body, I have come to recognize and respect how we often need to address the mind and the body to realize full health.

Where Health Comes First
I want my patients to understand how powerful their minds and bodies really are, and how each organ and symptom is part of a larger system. Working with chronic and intractable ailments takes a certain level of sensitivity, which I’ve honed in order to treat stubborn conditions with gentle methods.
