"I have experienced many massages with different therapists and Leighanna
got into my psoas like no other therapist has ever done. Not only was it really
cool to personally feel the referral pattern of the psoas, but her treatment really
helped me with my running. Leighanna really knows the body. Through her
many years of experience and great hands, she finds what needs to be worked
and does a great job working it!"

Erin completely freed up my shoulder, which was a bit "frozen".
I was amazed at the results (more range of motion, less referred pain)
after only one hour of very specific deep tissue work. I am looking
forward to additional sessions, now that I have found someone who
can work with superior knowledge, technique and patience to address
my issues.
Jeff Schroeder, CMT, Belmont, CA
Once again, Erin came through for me! I called her with my nagging
neck problem and she made time for me that day. I have seen many,
many bodyworkers over the years but no one can compare to the
type of intense work she does. She is very intuitive and knows exactly
where to focus. I can't say enough about her amazing skills with
getting my body feeling healthy again.
But that's not all, she is excellent at core strength training, weight
loss, and physical alignment. She is so enthusiastic about people's
physical well being and is a motivated, enthusiastic, and dedicated
health care professional. I have worked with her over the past year
and have seen an incredible difference in my body. Check her out -
you won't regret it.
