Meredith Brand, P.Eng, RMT

     I graduated from the University of Calgary in 2002 with a BSc. in Mechanical Engineering, having specialized in biomechanics. Despite my interest in the dynamics of human anatomy and movement, my search for first employment landed me a job in the Oil and Gas industry where I spent the last 8 years working as a Professional Engineer. Although a challenging and rewarding career, life led me to confront my unsatisfied feelings. I wanted to invest my energy in something that I found more personally rewarding, and live a healthier more balanced lifestyle.
    
     I have always been very physically active, involved in various competitive sports with dance and yoga continuously being an integral part of my life. Following my desire to promote wellness of body and mind, in 2009 I went to India to study to become a yoga instructor and allow myself to experience all aspects of a yogic lifestyle. Also recently graduated from the 2 year program at MH Vicars School of Massage Therapy in Calgary.
    
      I have been working at Britannia Bodyworks as a massage therapist since January 2010. Embracing my new career path as a yoga instructor and massage therapist I am able to balance my technical interests in the dynamics of the human body with my energetic awareness, and my understanding of the importance of listening to your body, calming your mind, and the harmony of that integration.
    
    I am invigorated to continue to explore and combine different modalities of approaching wellness from inside and out.
