About Me:
Brendan Thorson is a licensed massage therapist, energy-medicine practitioner, educator, and founder of Vital Energy Medicine. With more than 24 years of study, practice, and teaching, he integrates therapeutic massage with Qigong, Tai Chi, meditation, acupressure, breath awareness, and energetic balancing to support physical relaxation, nervous-system regulation, and whole-person well-being.
Brendan’s interest in mind-body healing began through his own experience with persistent joint and tendon discomfort as a teenager. His search for relief led him to extensive training in massage therapy and traditional energy practices, shaping an approach that focuses on restoring vitality, reducing stress, and helping clients reconnect with their bodies.
He holds a Master’s degree in Acupuncture and Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science in New York and is a graduate of the Brenneke School of Massage. Brendan has taught thousands of hours of classes, workshops, and professional training programs in energy medicine and continues to mentor students and practitioners.
At HopeSpring Wellness, Brendan offers Qigong-integrated therapeutic massage, a personalized service that blends skilled bodywork with breathwork, acupressure, and energy-based techniques. His sessions are designed to release muscular tension, calm the mind, encourage deeper relaxation, and help clients feel more grounded, balanced, and renewed.
