At Premier Wellness, his mission is simple: Help every patient heal, thrive, and experience life with more energy, clarity, and purpose.

Dr. Branham — A Lifetime Devoted to Natural Healing

Dr. Branham was born in St. George, Utah in 1955, and shortly after moved with his family to northern Wisconsin. His introduction to holistic health began early: in the 1960s his mother opened a health food store in their home, and his father—who studied at McCoy Chiropractic Institute before being drafted into the Korean War—regularly introduced him to chiropractic adjustments. That early exposure to natural medicine shaped the path he would follow for the rest of his life.

At age 19, he served an LDS mission in Toronto, Canada and São Paulo, Brazil before attending BYU for undergraduate studies. He went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at the National College of Chiropractic in Lombard, Illinois, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 1980.

His early career took him to Texas and later Detroit, where he spent three formative years working directly with Dr. George Goodheart, the founder of Applied Kinesiology (AK). Under Dr. Goodheart’s mentorship, he deepened his mastery of manual muscle testing as a diagnostic system for evaluating structural, biochemical, and emotional imbalances. Dr. Branham later became a Diplomate of the International College of Applied Kinesiology and continues to be recognized as a leader and master practitioner in the field.

Dr. Branham’s approach is rooted in truly individualized care—identifying hidden stressors, supporting cellular pathways, and helping patients heal from the inside out.

Outside the clinic, he enjoys skiing, snowboarding, mountain and road biking, running barefoot, flying sailplanes and airplanes, and windsurfing. A lifelong learner, he is constantly expanding his knowledge and experiences.

Above all, Dr. Branham’s philosophy remains simple and deeply felt: to help people improve, heal, and elevate their quality of life so they can experience more joy, purpose, and fulfillment in the time they’re given.

Licensed Massage Therapist

Lisa Post

Lisa brings a compassionate, intuitive, and highly personalized approach to therapeutic bodywork at Premier Wellness. As a Licensed Massage Therapist, she understands that every body has a unique story and that effective bodywork is about much more than simply working on sore muscles.

Lisa specializes in personalized therapeutic bodywork, deep tissue massage, fascial release, lymphatic support, and relaxation-focused techniques. Combining her professional training with a natural ability to listen to the body, she works to identify areas of tension, restriction, and imbalance that may be contributing to discomfort or limiting movement. With a special focus on the fascial system, Lisa helps address restrictions that can develop from physical stress, repetitive patterns, injuries, and life experiences. Each session is customized to the individual, with the goal of helping the body release tension, restore movement, improve circulation, and return to a greater sense of balance.

Lisa believes therapeutic bodywork should feel both purposeful and nurturing. Her calm, compassionate presence helps patients feel comfortable and supported while giving their bodies the opportunity to relax, release, and restore.

At Premier Wellness, Lisa works alongside Dr. Branham and the rest of the wellness team as part of our whole-person approach to supporting the structural, nutritional, and mental/emotional aspects of health.

Emotional Release Practitioner / Energy Healing

Wendy Rodriguez

Wendy’s passion for emotional healing comes from her own personal journey. After years of navigating health challenges and searching for deeper answers, she discovered the powerful connection between emotional well-being, the nervous system, and physical health.

Her own healing journey eventually led her to Premier Wellness, where she experienced firsthand the value of addressing the whole person—mind, body, and emotions. Today, Wendy uses that experience to help others identify and release emotional patterns that may be keeping them feeling stuck, stressed, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves.

Working alongside Dr. Branham, Wendy uses muscle testing and a variety of emotional release techniques to help uncover conscious and subconscious emotional patterns and support the body’s natural ability to restore balance.

Her approach is gentle, compassionate, and personalized. She creates a safe space where patients can work through emotional stress at their own pace while feeling supported and understood.

Wendy’s training incorporates techniques and principles from The Emotion Code, Reiki, Trigger Point Release, Rapid Eye, NET, Graph Technique, EFT, and Flower Essences.

For Wendy, emotional release isn’t about focusing on what’s wrong—it’s about helping you let go of what may be holding you back so you can move forward feeling lighter, more balanced, and more connected to yourself.
