My name is Anna (Anya) Brilts. I am a psychologist, somatic therapist, Licensed Massage Therapist (LMT #28491), and a guide for people who want to reconnect with themselves — mind, body, and spirit. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychology from Moscow City Pedagogical University and have been working in the helping professions for over 20 years. My journey began in Moscow, continued through Poland, and has brought me to Ashland, Oregon, where I now live and practice. Over the years, I have studied different traditions and techniques — from modern psychotherapy to ancient touch — weaving them into an approach that honors the whole person. In 2024, I graduated from the Ashland Institute of Massage and became a licensed massage therapist in the US. I believe true well-being happens when we listen to the quiet language of the body, allow emotions to move, and create small, simple rituals of care. Along the way, I’ve hosted many group and individual programs, guided retreats, taught massage skills, and yes — I still love to stich embroidery and heat up a traditional Russian banya(sauna), where people can truly let go and be held by warmth.
