About BrendaLee

Originally from a small town in Alberta, I've called Edmonton home for over 20 years.

 

I began my career as a massage therapist, specializing in injury rehabilitation and chronic pain. Over time, I increasingly observed the powerful connection between our physical body and mental health. This led me to understand that our physical and mental states profoundly influence each other. Our physical body can serve as a tool for our mind, just as our mind can for our body. Our entire self (mind and body) holds wisdom and memories, the power to self-regulate, create boundaries, connect with others, and much more.

 

This realization of the mental-physical (or psycho-somatic) connection inspired me to further my studies across various physical and mental health modalities.

​

In 2024, I completed my studies in Somatic Developmental Psychology and am now a certified Somatic Psychotherapy Practitioner.

 

I integrate this psychotherapy approach with my background in Massage Therapy and Somatic Emotional Release, and more, to provide a comprehensive approach to mental health therapy.
