Elia Brandao

Elia is an experienced wellness and manual therapy professional, with years of experience promoting performance improvement for athletes and wellness for young adults, families, expecting mothers, postpartum mothers, and children in communities across the globe.

She got her physical therapy degree in 1996, after which she started her practice in Brasilia, Brazil. Elia believes in providing a comprehensive wellness approach to treatments, going beyond physical aspects like restoring motion, and preventing future injury or reoccurrence to include helping clients find balance in their lives. To achieve this goal, over the years Elia enriched her practice by pursuing certifications in multiple Manual Therapy modalities including Rolf Method for Structural Integration, Jin Shin Jyutsu®, Neuro Linguistic, Shiatsu, Ayurvedic, Kinesiology, and GPR (Global Postural Re-education).

After receiving her first 10 Rolf Method for Structural Integration sessions, Elia experienced tremendous physical and life transformations. As a result she decided to pursue her Rolf Method for Structural Integration certification, which she completed in 2003 at the Guild Institute, in Boulder, CO; having the honor to study with the great master of Rolf Method for Structural Integration Peter Melchior.

In her spare time, Elia enjoys experimenting with new recipes in her kitchen always looking to create new healthy and delicious recipes.

Elia is the Jin Shin Jyutsu® organizer for Boulder, CO.
