Brian Speakman, CMT

Independent contractor, part time. Massage Therapy, Reflexology, Ear Candling, Reiki.

It seems appropriate that Brian is working at medica...the healing arts where he received his first massage over seven years ago.  

He received his massage certification through Career Training Academy while working full time at Vision Quest in Franklin, Pa. He then offered therapy to families by traveling to their homes.

Brian is a native of Hampton Township and attended college at Pitt-Johnstown and Penn State obtaining a Bachelor’s Degree in Sociology. He worked at Vision Quest after graduating in 1999.  This facility helps young people overcome difficult times in their lives by introducing them to some extraordinary experiences and broadening their self awareness. Currently, Brian works as a Behavioral Health Counselor for Milestone Inc., a private, nonprofit, community-based human services mental health and mental retardation agency serving the needs of communities and residents in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

He brings the same passion for helping people to the realm of massage therapy.  Massage therapy is not only an opportunity to care for a body full of aches and pains, but also to care for the person that is experiencing those pains.

Amber Baker, AMBT

Independent contractor, part time. Massage Therapy, Soul Memory, Kundalini yoga.

Amber has been a practicing certified massage therapist for 9 yrs. She became certified by taking courses with a private instructor through the Nuin Center, a cooperative center for holistic therapies and the healing arts where all courses are approved through the American Bodyworks and Massage Professionals.

Amber works with the systems of each individual, as well each person’s own healing capabilities to gently release any and all impediments to physical, emotional, and mental calm within each person. She combines several techniques including Swedish, cranial sacral, acupressure and Reiki to ensure that each client’s unique needs are addressed and met during each session.

Amber is also a registered Kundalini yoga teacher and may incorporate breathing techniques, postures and stretches into her massage therapy sessions. She can teach classes or provide private one-on-one instruction of this unique and ancient form of yoga. This form of yoga utilizes the breath, sound and repetitions in movement to enhance the mind-body connection as opposed to holding difficult postures and stretches.
