The Power of Recess, Rest, and Restoration
At Brain and Body Recess, we create an intentional space for alignment, healing, and expansion. Through chiropractic care, massage therapy, yoga, breathwork, and meditation, we help you reconnect with your body’s innate ability to restore itself. Whether you are navigating daily stress, recovering from physical or emotional strain, or seeking clarity and renewal, our services provide the tools to come home to your body—not through force, but through ease, presence, and sustainable practices.
Recess for the Body
Rest for the Mind
Restoration for the Spirit
Life’s experiences—whether personal stress, systemic pressures, or deep-seated patterns—can shape how we move, breathe, and hold tension. Research on Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and long-term stress confirms that these experiences live not only in our thoughts but also in our nervous systems, posture, and breathing patterns.
At Brain and Body Recess, we don’t focus on revisiting trauma—we focus on repatterning the body’s responses, creating new pathways for ease, awareness, and adaptability. Our services are designed to release tension, regulate the nervous system, and expand your capacity for presence, creativity, and well-being.

Dr. Thomas, Parnisia, and their team offer a truly unique, holistic experience. The space is thoughtfully laid out, creating an environment that is as therapeutic as it is beautiful. Their attention to detail and time spent to address our personal health was beyond impressive. We went for the massage, and left feeling absolutely rejuvenated.
