ABOUT
Hello, and welcome to my webpage! I am so excited to be venturing out on my own after twenty years in the massage industry! Admittedly, I'm more massage savvy than tech savvy, so hopefully this webpage will be easy to navigate, informative, and will easily get you on your way to booking an appointment with me at my new space.
​
First, a little bit about myself. For those who don't know me, my name is Brad Rasmussen. I'm one of Columbia, SC's most experienced massage therapists, with over twenty years in the industry. I'm originally from Charleston, SC, where I attended College of Charleston, followed by Trident Technical College, where I received my massage certification. It was tough to find full time employment in Charleston, as the massage industry was already saturated, but a company by the name of Urban Nirvana took a chance on me and hired me for their brand new Columbia location! Seizing the opportunity to be the first therapist hired at a new day spa, I moved to Columbia in December of 2003. The rest is history, as they say. I've remained one of Urban Nirvana's top performers for almost twenty years, amassed over 750 clients, and am leaving them as a Level 3 Master Massage Therapist, the highest ranking one can acquire there. Furthermore, I'm honored to have been voted Best of Columbia in 2015 by Free Times Magazine. I was lucky enough to marry a beautiful, amazing woman named Erin in 2016. She is an interior designer of over twenty years, and started her own design firm in 2020. With the support of her and our three kids, Tori, Gabriel, and Guy, I am finally ready to take the reigns and build something of my own! I look forward to meeting each and every one of you and proving to you just how great an experienced massage can make you feel!

For those of you who DO know me, thanks for continuing the journey with me and putting trust in me, my hands, my elbows, and in many cases, my advice. I've known many of you for twenty years. I've done massages at your homes and shared meals. A lot of you are like family to me, and you will ALWAYS be the driving force that gets me excited to come to work each day.
