Leslie is a registered Jin Shin Do ® acupressurist who believes when we bottle up our feelings and thoughts, we allow tension and emotional energy to become trapped within our physical being. Unspent emotions often manifest as physical symptoms, including:

  • Tension Headaches
  • Shoulder, neck and muscle tension
  • Fatigue or depression
  • Sleeplessness
  • Anxiety or emotional unrest

Acupressure is an ancient form of healing involving the use of finger pressure on key points within our natural energy channels (meridians). Blocked energy can cause physical pain or discomfort, even emotional or spiritual disconnection. Deep yet gentle pressure, combined with breathing techniques and exploration of thoughts and feelings, releases muscle and emotional tension resulting in both a physical and internal state of relaxation and rejuvenation. Regular acupressure treatments provide insight into old belief systems and patterns, and promote personal growth and well being. Learn about yourself from the inside-out!
