Services:
Barefoot Shiatsu Massage:- Done on a mat wearing loose clothing, barefoot shiatsu uses the feet along with the hands for added leverage in compressions.
- Intense stretching loosens limbs. Barefoot shiatsu is wonderful for people who love deep pressure.
Swedish massage:- This feel-good type of massage is used commonly in spas and resorts.
The practitioner kneads the muscles with oil to release toxins and relieve tension.
Hot Stone Massage:- Hot stone therapy works like a very specific heating pad-- the warmed river stones offer a natural, soothing heat to loosen tight muscles.
Warmed muscles respond better to massage with less invasive pressure and soreness for the client.
Chair massage:
- A great way to bring relaxation to your office space or party.
Sports Massage: - A more rapid, vigorous style of massage focusing on particular muscles used in a sport.
Leigh has worked on Team in Training, AIDs ride, and other athletes.
Pregnancy Massage:- Pre-natal massage can help you stay comfortable and healthy during your pregnancy.
Leigh works with some of the special concerns of pregnancy, such as lower back pain, sciatica-like pains in the hips and gluteus area, leg cramping and more.
- Certified by renowned teacher/ author Carol Osbourne-Sheets, Leigh is well versed
in the contraindications and precautions necessary for working on pregnant mothers.
Post-partum Massage:- assists with the recovery period and adjustment after the
labor process.
- After labor mothers may need bodywork on the rectus abdominal
muscles, the rhomboid area used in holding the baby, and general relaxation
techniques.

(Great for baby showers or baby shower registries!!)
