Urban Respite Bodywork

Client Comments

      I am starting my 20th year under Leslie’s care. I know of no one else like her. We began with a frozen shoulder, but have traveled on far past that. She has helped maximize my health and kept issues (some I knew about and some that she found) in my muscles from building into problems. She has opened up a world of thought and new ways of looking at our total being and health that I truly value.

    Leslie has been my massage therapist since 2003. I consider her a key part of my “wellness team,” as she has seen me through many unique challenges. Leslie is a professional in every sense of the term and completely client-focused. I highly recommend her to anyone who is interested in improving their health through massage therapy.

 Leslie’s work is unsurpassed… she is truly a “miracle worker”!  I suffered from “tennis elbow,” which my doctor and physical therapy were unable to remedy. Leslie alleviated the problem in one session.  In the future, she will be my first appointment instead of my last resort!

My recent appointments followed a fall during which I broke my wrist. With all the focus on my hand, I had neglected other areas of my body which needed attention. Leslie helped isolate areas needing attention and gently worked the tight areas to return my body to full functioning.

     While I have gone to Leslie for massage therapy for years, it takes a shock like this fall to remind me how skilled she is. Her skill is drawn from analytical knowledge and, far beyond that, from her keen senses and her feelings for living things.

   Massage is such a personal service. Leslie is ideal for anyone seeking the healing that massage brings in a safe, comfortable, and personal environment. She is there for you.

     For 20 years Leslie has been relieving a number of illnesses and continues to provide ongoing wellness with her magical, versatile healing touch. Her therapeutic massage is powerful “medicine” for which this client is most grateful.

     Leslie has eased my long-term back problems with her creative, skillful and supportive interventions. Every session has brought relief from pain and a sense of increased well-being. She relates with warmth and understanding and is a true bodywork professional.

     Leslie was recommended to me by two friends, and I’ve been working with her for a couple of years now.  I’ve had other massage therapists over the years, and some of them were technically very good at what they did. Leslie is technically quite adept at therapeutic massage, but she’s more than that: she’s a healer and someone with whom I can connect emotionally, mentally, and spiritually as well as physically. 

     Before and while seeing Leslie, I had a bout with plantar fasciitis. Injections of cortisone by my podiatrist were ineffective. Leslie worked on certain muscles in my leg and I am now almost completely free of the pain of plantar fasciitis. She seems to have a “sixth sense” when it comes to understanding me and my body and what will best serve me and my body.  She is kind and gentle, and I trust her.

      I have been receiving therapeutic massage as a healing tool for over 30 years because it restores balance and health in my life.  In Leslie I have found the right therapist for me. She is perceptive on many levels and understands my stress points and is able to identify areas of “congestion,” both physically and energetically, that I am often not even aware of.  She is a true healer who uses natural energies and activities to bring about wellness and balance in my life. She is so perceptive on many different levels – physically, spiritually and emotionally – and the ambience of her office and her personal energy are very calming.

     When I am on Leslie’s table, there is no place else I would rather be. I have been seeing her every other week for several years and attribute my overall excellent physical health to her work. Leslie’s background in nursing and her strong spiritual connectedness provide an incredible foundation for healing mind, body and spirit.
