Sean Murray
(He/Him/His)
RMT
Sean is a friendly and highly skilled massage therapist with over a decade of experience and a genuine passion for helping people feel their best. He pursued massage because of the fulfillment he finds in caring for others and the meaningful impact therapeutic touch can have on both physical and emotional well-being.
Guests booking with Sean can expect attentive, thoughtful treatment tailored to their individual needs. His favourite treatment is therapeutic deep tissue massage, and he specializes in trigger point therapy and dynamic stretching techniques designed to release tension, improve mobility, and support lasting relief.
His path into massage was shaped in part by time spent in Vietnam, where he was introduced to traditional bodywork approaches that deepened his appreciation for the practice. These early influences continue to inspire his style today, including his integration of flowing, restorative techniques such as Lomi Lomi to create a deeply nurturing experience.
Sean believes massage is an essential part of self-care, especially in today’s fast-paced world where many people operate in a prolonged state of stress and “fight or flight.” His treatments provide an opportunity to downshift the nervous system, restore balance, and reconnect with a more regulated, parasympathetic state.
Outside of work, Sean maintains his own wellness through yoga, stretching, hydrotherapy, paddle boarding, swimming, and time spent in nature. His passion for massage extends beyond his practice, supporting both his personal well-being and his professional purpose.
He recently enjoyed reading Lost Connections by Johann Hari, and his dream destination remains Vietnam, a place that continues to hold personal meaning in his journey.

Ms. Brandy Nadon
(She/Her/Hers)
RMT
With over 15 years of experience, Brandy is a dedicated and compassionate massage therapist who brings a holistic, intuitive, and trauma-informed approach to every treatment. Her career began in the spa and wellness industry, where she spent a decade developing her foundation in relaxation massage, Reiki, facial massage, and holistic healing practices.

Over the past five years, Brandy has focused her practice on supporting individuals living with stress injuries and trauma—physical and emotional wounds that can profoundly impact the body, mind, and spirit.

While Brandy is highly skilled in a wide range of techniques, she holds a special passion for CranioSacral Therapy and RAPID NeuroFascial Reset, two powerful approaches that align closely with her trauma-informed philosophy.
Brandy believes that self-care is not selfish, but a vital part of living fully and authentically. As she often says, “You cannot serve from an empty vessel.” Her mission is to help clients refill that vessel—through deep, restorative healing that honors the whole person.”
