Leah started  massaging at the age of 8 , after getting her very first massage and loving it. This love of bodywork blossomed into a business after a frustrating whiplash injury and a realization that she could actually help people.Leah loves learning about how our bodies work and  how we can help them thrive . Not only does she treat bodies, she is also a modern dancer with years of experience taking care of her own body and learning from past injuries. After getting  whiplash from choreography  6 years ago, she had an epiphany. She was wasting her time as a bartender, and she finally woke up to her yearning to help people find their  pathway to health . She immediately enrolled in The Swedish Institute in New York, and a year and a half later, received an  Associates degree in Massage Therapy. Listening is the Key to a Great Therapist Along her journey to heal her neck, she saw a physical therapist, a chiropractor, a massage therapist, and a craniosacral therapist. What she noticed was that it didn’t matter what kind of techniques were used to bring her back to health;  what mattered was the practitioner. She’s since seen many different wellness “experts”, and the ones that helped were always the ones who  did not pidgeon-hole her  into a pre-existing model of bodily perfection. They did not try to “fix” her. They allowed space and  encouragement for her body to heal . This is how Leah approaches her clients-  she listens to them, she learns about them and their history, and she works with them, creating space for their body to heal itself. She allows her extensive knowledge of the body to help hone in on  the root of an issue , and then her intuition guides her hands. She employs numerous massage techniques, but she doesn’t follow any set choreography. Each person is profoundly different and  should be treated as an individual , not a statistic or just another body.
