Holly Bryson

Hi, I'm Holly, an Artist and Art Facilitator from Grandview, MB. I'm also a Reiki Practitioner and Holistic Nutritionist, and currently training to become a Somatic Yin Yoga Teacher.

I started Smalltown Art and Wellness Studio in Grandview in March of 2024, with the dream of offering art classes and wellness experiences for all ages.

In 2018, I completed my Holistic Nutrition certification. This program highlighted the importance of stress management and self care, which has been a guiding force in my work with Smalltown Studio.

Art and Reiki came into my life shortly after my Dad died in 2018. Art became a type of therapy for me, a way to process heavy emotions like grief and anxiety, and also a way to find delight and passion in my life again. Reiki has helped me in these same ways, as well as with processing past trauma, developing my intuition, and learning to listen to my body.

My Art Classes focus on creative play, emotional well-being practices and somatic techniques to help the body find balance and peace in today's often busy and chaotic world. My adult art classes, called Craft & Calm, include a short meditation before a mindful art project. My Stretch & Sketch classes combine stretching, grounding techniques and a beginner art journaling practice.

My Reiki Healing Sessions are a gentle and relaxing way to bring energy flow and balance back into the body. With my growing knowledge of nutrition and somatic yin yoga, these Reiki sessions provide a unique holistic experience to healing & stress management.

I'm thrilled to be joining the Parkland Psychology & Wellness team, and offering my services and classes in Russell!
