"Rietta Brisco is truly a standout RMT in Kelowna. Her depth of knowledge and natural talent for massage therapy are immediately evident, but what really sets her apart is the way she makes her clients feel—safe, heard, and genuinely cared for.

From the moment you step into her space, you're welcomed into a warm, inviting environment. The linens are soft and cozy, and her massage table is incredibly comfortable—details that show how much thought and care she puts into every aspect of her practice.

Rietta is clearly committed to continuous learning, which I deeply appreciate. Her treatments are both targeted and holistic—she listens carefully to your concerns and focuses on problem areas, while also incorporating her own unique touch to create a truly well-rounded experience.

I can't recommend Rietta enough"

CranioSacral Therapy
Discover the healing potential of your body

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach that supports the body’s natural ability to regulate, adapt, and restore balance. By working with the nervous system, this therapy may help improve how your body responds to stress, tension, and dysfunction. Craniosacral therapy has been found helpful for a wide range of concerns, including:

Nervous system dysregulation, stress, and stored tension
Difficulty managing daily stressors
Headaches and migraines
Chronic pain and tension-related conditions
Post-concussion symptoms
Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
TMJ dysfunction
Scoliosis and postural imbalances
Motor coordination challenges
Central nervous system–related conditions
Learning and attention-related challenges, including ADD/ADHD
Trauma-related symptoms
Spinal cord and neurological injuries

This list is not exhaustive, and responses to treatment vary. Craniosacral therapy is always adapted to your individual needs and goals.

What is SomatoEmotional Release?

SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a process that may naturally arise during a CranioSacral Therapy session. In some cases, the body may hold unresolved stress or emotional experiences that can contribute to ongoing patterns of tension, discomfort, or dysregulation. When conditions feel supportive, the body’s own innate healing mechanisms may allow these patterns to surface and resolve in a way that feels appropriate for you.

Experiences associated with SomatoEmotional Release can vary widely and may be subtle or more noticeable. Some people report gentle physical sensations, emotional awareness, imagery, or small, involuntary movements, while others may experience stronger sensations, emotions, or physical responses. Each person’s experience is unique and may differ from session to session.

This process is approached slowly, respectfully, and with ongoing communication throughout your treatment. Your consent and comfort are always prioritized, and the process can be paused or stopped at any time. You are never required to engage with or process anything you do not feel ready for. The intention is to support your body’s natural capacity to regulate, release, and restore balance in a way that feels safe and manageable for you.

The philosophy I bring into every treatment:

My approach to therapeutic massage recognizes the interconnected nature of the body’s systems and the role of the nervous system in relaxation and recovery. Each session is delivered in a calm, therapeutic environment designed to reduce tension, support the body’s natural healing processes, and promote balance and overall well-being. Treatments are tailored to your individual needs and guided by how your body presents day to day.
