Meet your massage therapist: Brent Luebbert, LMT

Meet your massage therapist: Brent Luebbert, LMT

Brent Luebbert, LMT (he/him) has been a core member of the Turning Pointe team for the last few years. If you’re just hearing about him now, it’s probably because he is usually booked!

His decade-long career as a professional dancer and the high demands on his body that comes with it, give him a deep knowledge and interest in pain and injury management. He enjoys helping active people move out of pain and recover from injury and treating those with longstanding issues and chronic pain. 

Brent walks us through how he started his massage therapy journey, the ways his dancing career and his massage practice have influenced each other, how he approaches complex cases, and more!

For the Gardeners: How to Stretch Before & After Your Day Outside

For the Gardeners: How to Stretch Before & After Your Day Outside

In addition to being one of our amazing LMTs, Molly-Grace Rea also operates a cut flower CSA out of her farm-home in Sherwood, OR — so she’s no stranger to the work of tending a robustly growing garden throughout the summer. And if you’re a gardener yourself, you know we don’t use the word WORK lightly!

Though gardening is so rewarding and often gets us into the beneficial flow state (or, “in the zone” as some say), the day-in and day-out care for our chlorophylled kin can start to take a toll on our bodies if we’re not caring for ourselves as much as we care for our plants. Using her training and experience as a bodyworker, athlete, and professional gardener, Molly offers up some stretches that can help carry us through our gardens prolific summer months.

Mental & Emotional Health and Healing: TCM's Holistic Approach

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), there is no separation between physical and mental health and well-being. Body pain or other symptoms we may tend to associate with our physical state, such as digestive issues, often indicate stagnancies or deficiencies that can further manifest as mental or emotional challenges. Erin Cranford, LAc, explains in more detail the connections between body and mind & recommends complimentary practices and books for your healing journey.
