Hi!
I'm Leilia...
Hi, I’m Leilia, licensed massage therapist and admirer of the great outdoors! It is both my mission and my pleasure to educate and work with people who are experiencing chronic pain.
After graduating from the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 2011, I was recruited to work overseas with the military in Germany. This in fact set me up for more success with similar events to follow, where helping a diverse population of clients with a need to relieve chronic pain can be accomplished.
A glimpse into my current therapist life: I love what I do! It is music to my ears to hear of clients that had previously suffered from grueling migraines (sometimes lasting upwards of twice a month) have found tremendous relief through regular massage sessions with me. I believe that you can have that kind of relief too. If you are here, you are already on your way to feeling better.
I continually participate in advanced education classes to further expand my business and learn even more ways of how to achieve long lasting results for my clients. Whether it is chronic pain, or stress and tension brought on by incomplete rest or self-care, we can find a solution.
I am here to help empower you and aid you in your self-care process. My goal is to provide specialized care based on your needs so that you can find relief and begin living your days carefree. I am excited to see what we can do together to improve your journey and leave those worries of pain behind. I look forward to connecting with you.
In addition to my massage therapy practice, I also enjoy hiking, exercising, reading, and learning just about anything really. I love to admire and be inspired. I live with my sweet Westie in a nearby town just west of Cottonwood Heights, called Midvale.
FAQs
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns!
My First Appointment - What should I expect?
When you come into my safe space, my hope is that you feel a sense of honesty and relief. I prefer to incorporate a place of serenity and mental calmness with a touch of outdoors - we are in Cottonwood Heights after all! Upon arriving - especially if this is your first visit with me, you will have light paperwork to fill out as an important tool to communicate your concerns and desires for an effective session. Please arrive 5-min prior!
I am a licensed massage therapist who works in a spa-like environment, with a clinical approach.
After we discuss what your goals are for your massage, I will then leave the room for you to prepare accordingly for the session, which includes disrobing of clothes to the level you are most comfortable with. Anything you leave on will let me know that that is your boundary.
**Most leave their underwear on; I have also seen socks as well**
Please feel free to contact me for a little more clarity if you need! I absolutely do use sheets and a light blanket for proper coverage -- period.
After the session is over and you are ready to check out, we will discuss any new findings, recommended homework for in between sessions and take care of payment and rebooking then.
I encourage you to be open + honest with me so that we can find a solution that works.
Thank you again for trusting me!
How should I dress for a massage session?
Massage Attire
Come dressed to your level of comfort and fresh. A nice warm shower will help soften the muscles and calm the nervous system down prior to any session. It also rids the skin of any excessive body oils that can trigger a tricky glide against my product when giving a massage.
Come comfy and without any expectations to look your best afterwards, haha! (I am so serious though)
ASHIATSU Attire: The same attire applies.
Thank you again for trusting me!
Zero Tolerance
I am a Professional
DO I HAVE TO BE COVERED? Yes. All sessions include proper draping -- sheet and blanket or large towel -- as not only for my preference, but also as required by law in the state of Utah.
FOOT FETISH: I offer barefoot massage sessions. For those of you with extreme foot fetishes, if I have to end a session early, you are still responsible for paying for the remainder of the unused session and will not be invited back.
Events
Please contact Leilia directly.
Coming to the Outcalls page soon.
(March 2023)
Ashiastu (Barefoot Massage)
Ashiatsu (Ah-shee-ah-tsu)
Ashi = Foot, Atsu = Pressure
I learned a Japanese form of barefoot massage that can be done with one foot working the back, or possibly 2. I prefer to have new clients book a hands-on session before a barefoot session in order to understand their deep tissue threshold. If you are booking an Ashiatsu session and have had barefoot massage elsewhere, please state that in the notes -- and if you still wish to have barefoot massage vs hands regardless of having one prior, please contact me directly for consultation and to ensure that this is in fact what you would like.
I love Ashiatsu and my clients appreciate the deeper work.
See you soon!
