Leah graduated with honours from ICT Northumberland College in 2000 with a diploma in Massage Therapy. She then headed to Toronto where she successfully completed her Ontario Board Exams and returned to Halifax to begin her practice as a Massage Therapist. Early in her career Leah worked in a multidisciplinary environment which afforded her the benefit of co-ordinating treatments with physiotherapists and kinesiologists. She has experience addressing the needs of athletes, facilitating recovery from motor vehicle accidents and repetitive strain injury, as well as promoting relaxation.
In March of 2004 Leah and her business partner Sarah Letcher endeavoured to open a clinic of their own, total kneads massage therapy inc.
Leah has continued to expand the techniques that she is able to offer clients. She has studied myofascial release techniques as well as Schweitzer deep tissue therapy. Leah offers Jade Stone massage which promotes tissue relaxation through the use of both heated and chilled jade stones affecting a circulatory response. She is certified in acupressure chair massage, which has allowed her to bring massage to an office space or conference environment. Most recently Leah studied the first level of Thai Yoga Massage at the world renowned Lotus Palm Institute in Montreal. The application of movement and stretch combined with compression massage has a powerful effect on overall body wellness.
Leah is also currently working towards her MBA at Saint Mary’s University.
Leah is available for treatments:
