HEALING MASSAGE
 |  |  |
|---|
Each session is tailored to treat your body's needs as well as support your ongoing healing with stretching and strengthening suggestions, and changes to daily routine.
A 60 minute session includes deep focused massage on several areas of the body, while a 90 minute session is a full body experience, with integration of your nervous system through cranio-sacral touch. The 2 hour Deluxe session allows for an expanded version of the 90 minute, with time to deeply explore multiple areas and includes a full head/face massage as well as craniosacral touch. I offer 45 minute sessions for children, and have lots of experience working with kids of all ages.
I include a variety of modalities to decrease pain and dysfunction, increase ease of movement and promote relaxation.
This is done by releasing adhesions in soft tissues, increasing blood and lymph exchange, addressing postural concerns and patterns of dysfunction, working with cranial bones to optimize your nervous system as well as support in integrating emotions/somatic experiences in your body.
I completed my Diploma in Massage Therapy at the WCCMT, in Victoria, BC in 2004 and have 20 years experience offering Healing Massage on the BC Coast, including Hornby Island, Campbell River and the Cowichan Valley. In 2020, I chose to de-register as an RMT, due to personal reasons; however, I continue to offer the same quality of care and continue to learn and update my techniques.
I currently offer massage in Cobble Hill at Valley View Center, near where I live off-grid with my two active boys and one adventurous cat.

What My Clients Say:
Leisha is one of my favourite all time massage therapists. I've seen her on and off for years, and she just gets better. I appreciate her knowledge, sensitivity, and ability to get to the right spots. She works on my whole family and is able to adapt to different needs. I highly recommend her.
Dr. Diedre MacDonald
"We feel so fortunate to have found Leisha, and luckily so close to our home. I suffer from fibromyalgia and degenerative disc disorder and am often immobilized by pain. She intuitively finds all the problems to help relieve my sore joints. My husband, who is very particular about massage therapists, loves her massages. She listens not only with her ears but with her hands. She can really read people and provides a safe healing environment. And if you wish to just indulge in a relaxing massage she is an expert at that as well!"
Margaret Kapasi
"I’ve struggled for years with a number of health challenges, but couldn’t get health practitioners to investigate how they may be interrelated. Leisha listened to my explanations of what was going on, she did some research to help dentify the issues at play, and this was then shared with the specialists. As a result, I have less pain, I’ve been able to sleep on my sides again and I’m am getting the best sleep I’ve had in years. I have seen many Massage Therapist, but Leisha definitely provides the best deep tissue massage I’ve ever had. I would highly recommend her!"
Sally Hansen
"Leisha's a very kind and thoughtful person.
She is very easy to talk to without judgment and her studio is very relaxing.
A year ago I had bad nerve pain down my right arm for months before I went to see her.
She helped me a lot and showed me some stretching exercises. She truly has healing hands and I highly recommend her to everyone.
I’m very blessed to have her in my life :)"
Ante Luberic
"I have been a client of Leisha's for many years now and she is extremely good at what she does. She is very knowledgeable about how our bodies work and is always able to work out my pain issues!"

Artist's Bio
My love of hand-sewing small projects from pre-loved fabrics began when I was about 9 years old. I discovered a pattern for two teddy bears and decided to create them out of fake fur I salvaged from the thrift store. I went on to modify the pattern and sew a number of bears from various recycled fabrics such as jean, tweed, corduroy and flannel and soon moved on to bags, purses and small pouches.
34 years later, I continue to find hand-sewing to be relaxing and enjoy slowing down to the pace needed to design and create. As well, it is handy to not need electricity for a sewing machine, as I live off-grid with my two boys. I love finding unique pre-used fabrics, buttons and trim and am a supporter of slow-fashion with the amount of wasted clothing that goes into land fills every year.
I have a few Medicine Pouches, crystal pouches and purses waiting to find homes and love to custom create for individuals.
