A Ouija Board & Necklace Led To My Practice...
Photo Credit to Dave Winer
Yeah... I know, life's wild, weird, and wonderful. The story of how I came into practice is filled with strangeness, and for what it's worth I do NOT advocate the use of Ouija Boards to explore the subconscious or unconscious mind... Yeah, yeah, I did and while it did lead me to a pivotal person, which led me to starting my business... I still don't recommend playing with Ouija Boards. See my muscle testing page for more.
I've only ever had one job in my life, and that was in retail management at Suncoast Motion Pictures in the Mall. Afterwards, when I got laid off, I told my self I would never work for anyone again. Well... that commitment of which had no reasonableness behind it led me down a very unique Matrix-like rabbit-hole full of oddities of which most fictions could only truly rival.
Meeting the right people at the right time, encouraging the right teachers to start a school to only later be the first graduate of that school. After two years of being nearly unemployed and racked up a good $15k in debt, on September 17th 2009 I started Body Epiphanies Massage & Nutrition LLC. But wait... You're here to learn about me aren't you? Not the origin story of Body Epiphanies. So, let me start this over with a more riveting intro that spills some guts onto the me behind this whole ship...

Stephanie ParkerOwner of Talent Spark"I have seen Brandon consistently for over six years and I cannot recommend his work more highly. His massages are therapeutic and healing. I have chronic neck issues and Brandon's massage work is one of the most effective methods I've found for keeping my headaches at bay. In addition to body work, I've benefited from Brandon's extensive nutritional knowledge and was fortunate to work with him as a health coach this year. Brandon is not only a talented body worker but one of my favorite humans. He's whip smart, informed, positive, funny and kind. I always leave his massages feeling physically better and happier overall. Thank you for your wonderful work!"

Emilee Anne DuncanBusiness Rockstar"Brandon is a phenomenal massage therapist and I saw a huge improvement after my very first session. It is not a "fluff" massage like I had run into frequently in my long search for the perfect massage therapist, and the benefits of his work have been very apparent to me since I became a client. I will continue to return! He is also very knowledgeable about nutrition and alternative health practices, and is very personable and a joy to talk to. I highly recommend him!"

What The Hell Are You?
Part Ninja, Part Pirate, Part Ronin, Part Time-Traveler... It's complex, brutal, and otherwise a life riddled with Auspiciousness and strangeness wrapped into some sort of mysterious paradox that becomes increasingly more surreal. The following breakdown will give you some insight of the people and characters most influential to my life without giving away everything. I gotta save something for the autobiography after all -_^. While the following are not my identity, they all have permanently contributed to my emboldened sense of optimism, and vast depth of cat-like curiosity. It is with immense gratitude that I layout the foundation of what led to the me, that writes these words right this moment. Not an exhaustive list...
- Family (amazing parents and brother, these cats are the best of all cats and I couldn't be more fortunate because of such amazing connection and upbringing. Only wish everyone had such an incredible family to have been born into so as to have the advantage that I did growing up. My furry comrades are in this grouping for all you animal lovers.)
- Comrades (these are all my close friends, distant friends, and those cats in-between, without which I would have been a much more serious cat... yeah I know imagine that shit? In all seriousness though, I wouldn't be half the cat I am today if it wasn't for being surrounded by truly interesting and loyal comrades.)
- Illness (oh one of my greatest teachers of all time, so many, so diverse, all with contributing to a number of nearly almost dying 14 different occasions, albeit many were near-drownings, a couple close calls in a vehicle, and well almost laughing to death with life flashing before my eyes and all, way too long of a list to go into here.)
- Values (value-embodiment is at the crux of how I program my self to level-up in life on the regular, this way I can better design my future from a space of deep-knowing all with a sense of spontaneity that makes life an constant adventure capable of imagineering reality to fictional-like levels of existence... All without losing stability of emotion/mind/heart.)
- Nature (few things are quite as integral to the me that writes this as nature itself, this speaks to both the very real physics we measure to the physics behind the physics that remain within the mysteriousness of time/space, and beyond. Connecting with the elements, mother earth, cosmos, etc. This is pivotal to the way I conduct my life and business itself.)
- Fictional Characters (Anime, video games, manga, comics, these all have enlisted deep levels of inspiration into how I design life, value-acquisition, etc. This leads to setting standards that are incredibly high, which push me to better habits that I am not satisfied with, all the while increasing joy-capitol, etc.)

Who The Hell Are You?
Just a dude... Like, really. "You're not your fucking credentials, you're not your fucking things, you're not your fucking social circles, you're not your fucking ideologies, you're not how much money you've acquired... you're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world..." Having said that paraphrased Fight Club line... We're all here to do simply two things.
Within the context of the above. I simply love to laugh, create, add value, cats, optimize, be in nature, travel, create memories, explore esoteric knowledge, Elon Musk, practical knowledge, tantric practices, buddhist practices, yogic practices, science, most of the arts, cats, individuality, systems-thinking, physics, engineering, Tesla Motors, inventing, writing, word-smithing, paradox-creating, complex passionate conversations, etc. The list goes on, I love being alive, even with the near-endless array of health challenges I have faced. I hope my work, in any format, leaves you at bare minimum a step closer to a more optimal you... even if that just means you laughed at my silliness -_^.
Cheers Comrades,
Brandon A. Trean
- Create (creating art, work, life, fiction, fact, invention, self, etc.)
