Services

Customized Massage

Every massage is customized to the client. Treatments can be adjusted between relaxation, to therapeutic, to deep tissue. Your needs may change from treatment to treatment as well.

Every massage will help with the release of tension, decreased pain, increase mobility and aid in relaxation.

Prenatal Massage

A massage during this special time in your life. It soothes tired and sore muscles while you adapt to your changing body. Your comfort is a priority, with special pregnancy and body pillows available.

Prenatal massage is safe throughout your entire pregnancy, just let us know about this new time so we can adjust!

Postnatal Massage

The new stages of motherhood come with new aches, pains and tiredness. Let’s get you rested up and relaxed so you can be at your best for your new little one.

Postnatal massage can start as early as a few days after giving birth.

Jade Hot Stone Massage

Relax even further with the addition of hot stones to your massage. This treatment along with the warmth of the stones helps to further relax sore and tired muscles.

Dynamic Cupping

Consider adding cupping therapy as an added layer to enhance your massage. Cupping helps to break up fascia and promote healing to the area.

Please note that you may experience superficial bruising post-treatment.

Children & Infant Massage

There are numerous benefits to treating children with massage therapy including relaxation, physical development, and overall well-being. Focused treatments can be used to release muscle tension related to growth spurts, sports fatigue, or even stress management.

Individual treatment plans to be developed in consultation with parents or guardians.

Meet the Team

Briane Hillaby has been a Registered Massage Therapist (RMT) for over 11 years, after graduating from the 2200 hour program at Mount Royal University in Calgary, AB.

Throughout the years, Briane has worked on hundreds of different clients to address their needs. As an RMT, her focus has always been to help the client improve their overall wellbeing. Briane takes a slower approach to massaging, utilizing her training and techniques to get to the root of the problem.

Briane has extensive experience in helping headache and migraine sufferers to reduce their symptoms. Many of her clients also have typical “desk” jobs, with all of the associated aches and strains, which she has learned to effectively treat over the years. She has always had a special interest in prenatal massage as well – especially after experiencing two pregnancies of her own and experiencing all the aches and pains that go along with it. She is acutely aware of how effective massage therapy can be to aid in treating a wide variety of conditions.

Established in September of 2024, Balanced Hands Massage is proudly owned and operated by Briane Hillaby.

The experience…

Located on the seventh floor of the Southcentre Executive Tower. Please let the reception know that you are there for a massage with Briane or Balanced Hands Massage. Take your time, use the washroom, have some coffee/tea or water. (Please note: I am located within a wellness collective so there are additional small businesses also operating and outside noise may be heard, however I try to keep everything as calm and quiet as possible).

At the time of your appointment I will greet you and bring you back to my studio space. We will do a quick check in to see what concerns you have at the time of your appointment. You will be given a couple minutes to change and get yourself on the table. If anything ever needs adjustment, whether the table warmer, the music, the pressure applied, etc, don’t hesitate to mention something. Time to enjoy your massage!

I have also now incorporated using FLO AROMATHERAPY essential oils during treatment. Hot towels will be strategically placed during treatment and cupping can be added (at no extra cost) if deemed to be helpful.

After your treatment, you will be asked to change and meet me outside the studio. Water bottles and a sweet treat are offered to you as well. I offer direct billing for most major insurance companies. I will send you on your way and submit your insurance information. If there is anything owed or you do not have health insurance benefits, the card on file will be charged. This keeps things seamless and easy for you- you don’t have to pull out a card or wait around while I submit your information.

Next, you will go about your day in a dreamy post massage bliss and want to book your next appointment right away!
