Brenda specializes in gentle Japanese-style acupuncture, primarily Toyohari Meridian Therapy, Manaka Yin Yang Channel Balancing Therapy and Shonishin pediatric acupuncture. Her other interests include meditation (she completed a yearlong meditation retreat in 1988 and attends meditation retreats regularly), tai chi, research, studying acupuncture classics, community service, teaching and writing. She is happiest when engaged in dialogue with practitioners and students on how to make the ancient wisdom of the ancestors come alive in our modern times, and she is passionate about humanity’s relationship with nature.
Brenda’s healing philosophy is, “When the body is in harmony and its energy is balanced, we will feel at ease … ” and, “All medicine is Love” (as quoted from one of her mentors, Yanagishita sensei).
