About Alina Brannan Massage

Alina was born in Ukraine and grew up in Portland, Oregon. There she found her love for sports and fitness. She played Soccer, Indoor Cycled, and ran Track and Field, where she finished fifth in the state for discus throwing. She also set multiple school records for weightlifting. After high school, she went to Portland state university to pursue physical therapy but ended up finding a passion for massage therapy, where she received her training at Everest Institute in 2016.

In the meantime, she had two littles, Sasha and Bentley, that are now 4 and 6 years old. Alina has focused her time on learning sports massage and deep tissue work. Her love for fixing people after injuries lead her to work alongside medical professionals treating patients after car accidents. She opened her practice in 2018 in Portland and moved to Colorado to work with a room recovery center, where she is excited to continue working with athletes.

At the moment, she is working on her personal training certification and nutrition coaching. When she moved to Colorado, she was learning to outdoor cycle. She recently moved to Gaylord, MI and helping people there. She is now licensed in three states. In her free time, she loves to hike with her dog named Charlie, explore lakes and rivers, and any and all trails on the mountains on a snowboard.
