He is awesome! Which is virtuous since my body is not particularly cooperative.
by Bruce on Oct 17
Brian has a gift that is difficult to explain, but I trust him and he has helped me with physical pain and relief from mental anguish.
by Sarah on Jul 19
Brian is so comfortable to talk to about things that I have not been able to talk to others about before, that are now plaguing my health. He understands & is very insightful! He has fantastic perspective & is well educated in his field. His skills are AMAZING & well worth the out of pocket expense

Brian is a true professional and master in his work. He spends the time to get to know you as an individual and his work is tailored to your specific needs. His work is gentle and powerful at the same time. I felt the positive affects of his work for days after and highly recommend him!
