Meet your instructor
Jonas Brancalion is an RMT, educator and the creator of Neuro-Relaxation Technique. Over more than 18 years of clinical practice, he has continued to study, test and refine the method through hands-on treatment, observation and a deep curiosity about the nervous system.
His teaching style is practical, collaborative and grounded in clinical reasoning.
