Approach
Report
Because experience changes the brain, well crafted, intelligent experiences within a session are critically important. Similar to Montessori educational philosophy, I provide experiences that awaken my client's innate capacity to learn. My aim is to work toward optimal structural alignment of the body first.
Rolfing
Report
Rolfing Structural Integration is manual bodywork that aligns and balances the body such that one can be at ease in gravity. Rolfing releases structural restrictions that may have been built up by years of habit, compensatory movement or injury. A Rolfer works with the intention of organizing the structure for optimal function.
Feldenkrais
Report
Often after Rolfing Structural Integration people will ask "How do I keep this feeling and avoid returning to the old habits that got me into this place of limitation and pain?" That's where Feldenkrais comes in! In Feldenkrais lessons we explore habits in moving, thinking, sensing and feeling. We become aware of our neuromuscular patterns, and develop new abilities.
Massage
Report
Clinical Massage improves the recovery process by addressing problematic areas inhibiting the proper function of joints, muscles and movement. Clinical Massage can help with rehabilitation and regaining full range of motion. Unlike a spa massage for relaxation purposes, Clinical Massage is focused on functional outcomes, improving the healing process and relieving pain and tension.
Working with Kids
Report
Leighann not only works with adults, but is one of very few somatic educators/bodyworkers who specialize in working with children. Leighann respects each child's needs, personality and individual process. She is happy to make house calls to ensure a child's comfort. Leighann's playful and fun approach provides optimal support for children who are engaged in or who have completed Occupational Therapy, Physical Therapy or Vision Therapy.
