With Leah
“When you touch a body, you touch the whole person, the intellect, the spirit, and the emotion.” - Jane Harrington
My goal is helping expectant and new moms transition mindfully into Motherhood. I believe that a large component of that is providing supportive, nurturing touch to both body & spirit during this time. I also love the continuity of seeing my clients after their birth journeys, for early postpartum bodywork and throughout their wellness journey for deep tissue work, cupping, Gua Sha, C-Section Scar mobilization and so much more !
Massage appointments are available at our studio:
1208 Lisle Pl, Lisle IL
I provide home visits for Clients on bedrest and for the first 6-8 weeks postpartum for an additional fee. I also love to support the newly postpartum body’s healing with Traditional Belly Binding
