Welcome! I’m Brian, the founder of Banyan Tree Healing, a licensed massage therapist, and a holistic wellness practitioner dedicated to helping people achieve balance and lasting relief. With over 15 years of experience, I specialize in integrating therapeutic bodywork, energy healing, and mindfulness practices to provide a truly comprehensive healing experience.
My journey into healing began at 14 when a profound meditation experience revealed the deep connection between the body, mind, and spirit. That moment sparked a lifelong commitment to energy work, martial arts, meditation, and plant medicine—eventually guiding me toward Tai chi and energy work that I taught for over a decade and energy work to this day. This was all followed by my journey into massage therapy. After graduating from the Milwaukee School of Massage in 2010, I was honored to join their faculty, where I taught massage therapy, energy work, and holistic wellness. I was lucky enough to share these powerful modalities with students in both group and individual settings.
At Banyan Tree Healing, I specialize in therapeutic injury repair, energy clearing, vagus nerve activation, and somatic healing techniques. My approach is not just about relieving physical pain—it’s about identifying the root causes of imbalance and providing the tools necessary for long-term wellness. By blending traditional massage techniques with holistic methods, I help clients reconnect with their bodies and create meaningful, lasting change.
The philosophy behind my practice is inspired by the banyan tree—a tree that grows strong by sending out branches that develop their own roots, forming an interconnected network of strength and support. I see healing in the same way; when I help clients find balance and healing, they carry that wellness forward, spreading positive change within themselves and their communities.
Beyond bodywork, I am expanding Banyan Tree Healing to offer classes, guided meditation, brainwave entrainment, and holistic health education. My goal is to empower individuals with the knowledge and tools to take an active role in their healing journey—whether through self-guided practices, personalized therapies, or educational resources.
I am also a strong advocate for plant-based nutrition and holistic living. My personal experiences with health challenges have shaped my understanding of the importance of daily self-care, and I incorporate these principles into both my life and my practice.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll often find me hiking in nature, exploring new music, preparing plant-based meals, or engaging in deep, meaningful conversations. I believe that healing is a lifelong journey, and I’m honored to be part of my clients’ path to well-being.
If you’re ready to experience a more holistic approach to healing, I invite you to step into this journey with me. Together, we can bring your mind, body, and spirit into harmony.
