Brianna Shahin is a Remedial Massage Therapist with a deep, ongoing curiosity about how bodies move, recover, and connect. As an independent contemporary dance artist, performer, and facilitator, she brings a grounded, embodied understanding of movement into her bodywork practice.

Her treatments are guided by an interest in supporting the parasympathetic nervous system—inviting the body to slow down, breathe deeper, and recalibrate. Whether you're navigating postural tension, injury recovery, muscular fatigue or simply need space to reset, Brianna’s approach centres around restoring function, improving mobility, and supporting the body’s natural capacity for balance and repair.

Drawing from a range of techniques—relaxation, remedial, sports, deep tissue, and hot stone—her sessions often incorporate joint mobility, passive stretching, and breath-led touch to help unwind deeper holding patterns. She works with sensitivity and precision, integrating movement principles and tactile awareness to meet each body where it’s at.

Her perspective is shaped by ongoing studies in massage, anatomy and physiology, and a long engagement with movement practices including Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Judo, yoga, soft acrobatics, and contemporary techniques such as Flying Low and Passing Through. With an anthropological eye and a dancer’s sense of presence, Brianna reads the body as both map and story—attuned to the subtle ways we adapt, compensate, and shift through life.

At the heart of her work is a respect for process. Brianna works best with those who value slowing down, listening in, and working with the body rather than against it. Her practice is equal parts intuitive and informed, holding space for restoration, realignment, and reconnection—so you can move and live with more ease.
