"Leslie is one of the best Therapists I have ever known. Not only does she give an amazing massage but she is so in tune with your body that she finds and fixes issues you didn't even know you had!" Elizabeth B.
I have been to many different massage therapists, and Leslie is certainly the best! Leslie truly delivers massage therapy, in that you can relax and even drift off to sleep while still having a therapeutic experience. After spending an hour with Leslie, I felt completely relaxed and felt a difference in my overall health. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a five star massage from a skilled therapist. Emily T.
Leslie has been able to offer me healing hands through a lifetime of sports injuries, stress due to work and occasional self maintenance days. I have always felt comfortable, cared for and safe on her table.
She listens and takes her cue from you. You get to decide if you need quiet during the session or if you are up for comfortable conversation. She checks in with you, asks for feedback and is responsive in her methods of individualizing her care. She encourages me to take active part in my own treatment by putting me to work with passive resistance stretches or offering me suggestions for moves I can do at home. During a session, I can ask her to focus on a current issue, from my sinuses to my feet, or ask for a good once over of head, neck shoulders and back. She knows my tough spots where deep pressure is the only thing that brings me relief. She has smooth transitions and reminds me to breathe if I forget. I’ve learned to recognize her closing strokes, which gives me time to prepare for the massage to end at a peaceful adjournment. She always gives me time on the table after the massage to regroup and compose myself in privacy.
I appreciate that she is active in her profession and continues to grow, apply and offer different modalities and techniques. I enjoy that she shares the names of all the structures, muscles, tendons and fascia that she works on, and reviews how they are all connected. It helps me connect the dots to ensue better posture, decreasing back pain, stretching, for successfully getting through daily life. - B. Monteiro
