About Brandyn
“It is a calling to be a full-time caregiver. It has been the most rewarding and challenging experience of my life! In many cases, I have been on call 24 hours a day, five days a week, for the past 25 years. I have spent countless hours doing anything necessary to insure my patient is getting the best care possible. Along the way, I have learned it is an absolute necessity to make time for self care. This work requires an enormous amount of physical, emotional and spiritual stamina. Without creating time and space in my schedule to reset and re-energize, I would have burned out years ago. Understanding and taking care of my body, mind, and spirit allows me to perform at my highest level. That is why my wife, Angel and I are so passionate about sharing what we have learned with other caregivers and care partners.” ~ Brandyn Brownlee, co-founder Temple Road Journey
Brandyn began his career in care more than 25 years ago. As an MRI technician, his understanding of anatomy and attention to detail were valuable, but he was highly sought after for his excellent patient care and his ability to help patient’s feel safe and comfortable. He has provided care during pre op, post-op, and recovery through a liver transplant, open heart surgery, and joint replacements. He has also dealt extensively with care for liver disease, pulmonary disease, heart disease, addiction recovery, mental illness and end-of-life care.
Brandyn’s faith is the cornerstone of everything he is able to give in the way of care. He became an ordained minister in 2009 to bring additional spiritual care to those he serves. He is also a Reiki Practitioner offering the benefits of this healing modality, especially near the end of life.
As a former collegiate and pro football player, from an early age he has always understood the importance of physical fitness. His father taught him and his brothers the value of hard work. His mom worked as a Registered Nurse in Texas for 57 years before retiring at age 79. Both his parents taught him to be disciplined, dependable and to have a strong sense of duty. Brandyn has studied martial arts for many years and holds a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
