Marsea Spiegel
B.S., LMT & certified Holistic Health Practitioner
A Maine native, Marsea attended Boston University School of Public Communication where she received her B.S. in Broadcast Journalism and was a sprinter on the track and field team. One of her coaches also provided massages to the athletes, and that was when she got hooked on the therapeutic benefits of massage therapy. She has held her massage therapy license since graduating in 2004 from Spa Tech Institute. She also holds certificates in holistic health and nutrition and follows the current science and research regarding longevity. In her early years as an LMT, she trained in reflexology, orthopaedic massage, myofascial release, Thai yoga, and Attunement energy work. When she discovered the powerful lymphatic system training with the Chikly Health Institute, Lymphatic Drainage quickly became her passion and the cornerstone of her work. She found it impossible to not work with the flow of these vital pathways that provide the clean-up crew for essentially every job site in the body, cleansing and purifying and supporting a robust immunity. Due to the subtle and intuitive nature of both modalities, she found it very natural to blend Attunement with Lymphatic Drainage. With a deep bow to the innate wisdom of the body and the power of our thoughts, emotions, feelings, and words, she introduced intention and energy and developed Lymphatic Attunement™. Her current training in Craniosacral Therapy further enhances the flow of lymph from the head and brain, referred to as the glymphatic system. She believes that an optimal flow state is key to optimal health. For additional information on Marsea’s work with the lymphatic system,

Brianna Housman
B.S., LMT
Brianna Housman earned her degree in Behavioral Sciences with a concentration in counseling at the University of Southern Maine in 2017. Her yearning to help others later led her to the SpaTech Institute where she earned her Maine massage therapy license. She later gained experience in various settings including wellness centers, spas and chiropractic offices.
Brianna’s passion for massage partly comes from working through her own personal struggles. Her experiences with chronic health issues led her to seek out alternative healthcare practices, which led her to lymphatic massage. By putting more focus into her lymphatic health, she saw many of her symptoms subside and now feels inspired to share her knowledge with those who can benefit.
Brianna’s massage practice now centers around helping those with autoimmune conditions and chronic pain. She specializes in Manual Lymph Drainage and is a Certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist (CMLDT). This modality stimulates the body’s lymphatic response through gentle, rhythmic strokes. Waste products are moved away from tissues where they can accumulate and cause a variety of health issues. This modality provides symptomatic relief from migraine headaches, fibromyalgia, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, and Lyme disease, among other conditions. This work is also very effective in treating post-surgical and post-traumatic swelling. Additionally, lymphatic work is very relaxing and can help with sleep quality and chronic stress.
Brianna believes that massage can play an important role in moving the needle towards improving quality of life. From personal experience, she understands the emotional and spiritual effect of chronic health issues and aims to not just provide comforting touch but a listening ear as well. Brianna takes pride in being part of her client’s support system and circle of care. She looks forward to seeing you in the office and helping you in your journey towards good health.
MLD description:

*Migraine headaches
