NEW DAY
in Thai
Welcome to a New Day
My journey to a healing art practice began in Chiang Mai, Thailand in 2016 where I studied and became certified in the ancient system of Traditional Northern Thai Bodywork with Master Sinchai Sukparsert. The method utilizes a pulse technique to relieve muscle tension, assisted stretches to loosen connective tissue and pressure points along the ‘sip sen’, meaning ‘energy lines’, to Improve circulation and energy flow. It is a comprehensive system that addresses mind, body and spirit. The experience is both physiologically practical and relieving as well as psychically rejuvenating. Thai bodywork is specifically designed to relax your body while stimulating your energy.
Next, I traveled to Monterrey, Mexico to study with Erminia Ortega Velazco and her family of healers. Their intuitive practice is fundamentally based on Language of the Body, the seminal published work by bioenergetic pioneer Alexander Lowen. This work connects the psyche directly to and through the body as it relates to personal experience. Erminia's story as a healer is astonishing and my brief study with her was transformative. I have copies of her book, FORTALEZA, and would be happy to lend them to anyone. It is written in Spanish.
Each session is unique and specific to your needs at the time. Because my work is fueled and informed by intuition as much as it is learned modalities, I have never given the same session twice.
I look forward to seeing you.

Technique & Testimonials
Sessions are offered on a floor mat with pillows for support at various points. Loose fitting or workout clothing is worn and there are no body oils so you can move right into or through your day. Muscle tension release, assisted stretches and pressure points along the 'sip sen' (energy lines) form a comprehensive technique that encourages the body's own energy to heal itself.

“Leslie provides an extremely thorough Thai Body Work experience that I would recommend to anyone. In a single session I noticed a significant change in my awareness and a release of stress being held in a variety of places throughout my body. Leslie was wonderful to work with and her studio was a lovely spacious and calming space. I will return and would recommend her to friends and colleagues without hesitation.”

"Leslie is a natural healer. She is fully present, her hands are confident, and her touch is firm and precise. Somehow she knew how to stay and work exactly in the places I needed the most. The session flowed with such a steady, rhythmic pace that I went into a trance! My nervous system relaxed for the first time in months."
