Brenda trained as a Chemical and Process Engineer and worked in various industries over the years before taking the plunge and answered her true inner calling. In 2021, she decided to take some time off to do a full career reset and figure out what next in her life journey. It was through this time of deep reflection, Brenda made the decision to embark on a career that would see her help others through healing.
Brenda possesses a deep passion for learning and exploring the intricacies and complexness of the human body. Her desire to heal others through massage is what drives and motivates her. All this coupled with her strengths in troubleshooting and problem solving are all instrumental in helping make her an effective therapist when treating her clients.
Brenda is a hands-on mum who has raised three active and athletic children – who are now 25, 18 and 14. As a mother, she has nurtured and supported each and every one of them through their various pursuits of competitive sports i.e. rowing, swimming or ballet dancing and as such, has seen them go through and recover from their share of a wide range of injuries spanning many body parts!
Tip… Brenda loves cooking and has in fact written a cookbook, not formally published at this stage (it’s a work in progress) dedicated to her 3 kids titled “Nourish, with Heart – A Collection of Favourite Family Recipes”. She put together the cookbook during the Melbourne 2021 COVID lockdown period and had a prototype printed out in time for her eldest son’s leaving home present. Be sure to ask her what her favourite dishes are to cook for her family!
