Gentle Pain Management and Nurturing Touch for all Ages



I opened Oasis Massage Therapy in March of 2012 after 18 years of medical office management.  Working in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and gastroenterology, I learned the body "inside and out" you might say.  This knowledge has enhanced my massage and bodywork skills. I believe my deep faith enhances my intuitive skills, and my desire to help others is expressed in my nurturing style.

I opened Oasis Massage Therapy in March of 2012 after 18 years of medical office management.  Working in plastic and reconstructive surgery, and gastroenterology, I learned the body "inside and out" you might say.  This knowledge has enhanced my massage and bodywork skills. I believe my deep faith enhances my intuitive skills, and my desire to help others is expressed in my nurturing style.  

Since graduating massage therapy school (LMT) I have acquired my (MMT) Master Massage Therapist designation, obtained a certification in Pediatric Massage through the Liddle Kidz Foundation (CPMT) and national certification in Manual Lymph Drainage through Klose (CMLDT).  In May of 2015 I attended Oncology Massage training in Austin, TX with Tracy Walton and as a result, I am now a Preferred Provider with S4OM, Society for Oncology Massage.  In the spring of  2017 I added specialized training in Breast Cancer Rehab at Washington University Medical School, PT School, again under KLOSE Training. Needless to say, I am a nerd when it comes to education.  My style of massage is "Integrative" meaning I incorporate many styles and techniques in one session to produce the best result.  My sessions may include; Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trager, CORE Bodywork (Noah Karrasch style rolfing) Manual Lymph Drainage, SMRT (Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique, Sports Massage, Assisted Stretching, Nurturing touch and energy work.  My session fee is all inclusive and I do not charge additional fees for use of hot or cold stones, table warmer, or essential oils.  Clients book sessions by length of time. At the time of the appointment I will determine the nature of the visit and work with the client to customize the session based on their needs that day. 

To quote Noah Karrasch, "Always coax the muscle. Never force it." To that end, I believe in working at the "hurts so good" level and not beyond. In my experience, once the body registers true pain the "fight and flight" response is triggered and the body braces for the pain and my work becomes ineffective. I believe in working with the body, not against it. Gentle, effective pain relief and management is my goal.  I provide care to ages 5 to 100.  I also provide Hospice Care at no charge and offer reduced rates to healthcare providers and caregivers.

Peace, love and light,

Leigh Ann Warriner, MMT, CPMT, CMLDT

Medical Office Management

Prior to attending massage school I worked as a medical office manager for 18 years; 11 years in plastic and reconstructive surgery and 7 years in gastroenterology. My experience is vast and includes everything from coding and billing to assisting in the exam rooms during office procedures and educating patients regarding postoperative care. I have a through understanding of the body, inside and out.

Mom and former athlete

In my younger years I danced for 13 years and worked as a student teacher. In the summers I worked as a lifeguard at a very demanding swim club. My son played soccer and I served as team manager and was a FIFA referee. He went on to play rugby for the Arkansas Razorback Rugby team. My daughter, like me, loved dance. She danced studied with Sonshine Academy, Blackbird Academy, Shuffles Ballet under Arlene Sugano and the Nashville Ballet, Nashville, Tennessee. I know how to work with the unique problems experienced by young athletes with growing and changing bodies.

Wellness

Certified - Therapeutic Art Coach

In September of 2021 I took a short, four week sabbatical. During that time I completed a certification course in Therapeutic Art through the Transformation Academy. Starting with a practice of Mandala journaling, I can coach you through your journey of exploring the benefits of using art as a way of healing past pains, bringing the course of pain and anxiety into sharper focus, and breaking habits that keep you from moving forward.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Wellness services

by Kirsten on Nov 05
Leigh Ann is very compassionate. She listens to you and gives a massage to specifically target those areas. She is very knowledgeable. Most of all she is warm and one of those people who, after meeting her for the first time, you feel as though you’ve known her forever. My massage therapist cousin, who lives in Tennessee, found her for me. I didn’t know what to look for when searching for a massage therapist but she did. Specific certifications, education and passion for her profession were at the top of her list. I couldn’t be happier!

Second to none in terms of knowledge and care.

Leigh Ann is the absolute best! She is so knowledgeable and she truly cares. She has been such a blessing to me and I so thankful to have found her!

She gives me suggestions of things I might could try to help what ever is going wrong. Her caring nature. She tries to stay on schedule but she has never said times up we will make another appointment. I have been done that way. She also ask do I want another appointment. She doesn’t just assume. I’ve been doing these since my car wreck in mid 80s. Up and down state of Arkansas. It’s hard to find a very good therapist! This is one!! Very caring person!! Very knowledgeable. Very skilled. Go. You will not regret going!
