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.
