Dr. Maddie was born in Calgary, Alberta where she grew up playing soccer, running, hiking, and spending as much time as she could enjoying the outdoors. Her love of movement and exercise led her to her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at the University of Calgary. During this time she spent several years working in the fitness and sport tech industries, but soon realized that she wanted to pursue a career that would allow her to combine her interest in sport science with hands-on care. Chiropractic medicine offered the holistic approach to health that she had been searching for, and she moved to Portland where she received her Doctor of Chiropractic and her Bachelor of Science in Human Biology at the University of Western States. Dr. Maddie is so grateful to be in a field where she can help people feel their best and be able to participate in the activities they love.

In her free time, you can find her skiing, hiking up to a waterfall, trying a new restaurant or enjoying a long walk with her pup, Shadow.

Growing up on the sleepy seaside of Oregon, Leigh found joy wandering rolling forests and rocky beaches. In 2012, she drifted inland, spending several years developing her love of sweets as a pastry cook before attending the University of Western States for massage therapy. Leigh’s style blends a love of movement and condition-specific target work, using a clinical foundation of trigger point therapy, muscle energy techniques (METs), myofascial work, sports therapy, and tool-assisted bodywork. In addition to that foundation, Leigh’s style is informed by the deep compressions and stretching of Thai massage and the rhythmic flow of Fijian.

Always looking to grow, Leigh is currently studying Sarga, a footwork-based myofascial modality out of Hawaii. When she isn’t developing her massage style, you can find her experimenting in the kitchen, attempting any number of arts and crafts, and reading through the never-ending stack of books on her bedside table.
