I met Bradley Clarke about 3 years ago while I was performing for BYU Education week. He approached me after one of my performances and asked me if he could do a special kind of a massage for me to help me perform better. He said musicians/speakers are just as hard on their body as an athlete. I totally believed him because after a long day performing it is very taxing job and I’m usually very exhausted. A few friends gathered around as he performed a few simple techniques that right away felt lifting for me. I didn’t feel as heavy or as weighted down. I thought it was cool and wanted to learn more about it. I’ve been to see him a few times for some sessions that have really been amazing. (I would go see him more often if I lived in Utah) I think it has helped me sing with more ease than I have felt before. I hope you can learn what it is he does because it isn’t really massage as in relaxation – it’s a technique and I find it fascinating. Bradley will be contributing here on the blog regularly and below is his description of what he’s done for you to get to know him better.

When Bradley heard my “Forever” album he wanted to use it in his practice. I’m happy to report, that his clients have heard my music while visiting his office and have enjoyed the music. It’s great to have Bradley aboard! He’ll be sharing a lot of information with us – he has a ton of education and I’m excited to hear from him here on Wednesday Wellness.
