About Me

 

Welcome to Wellness with Lesa! A little about me, I am Plains Cree from Treaty 6 Territory. I am a wife, mother, auntie, friend and a registered massage therapist specializing in relaxation. My journey into healing began at a very young age, deeply influenced by the teachings and practices of my mother and grandmother. I was just 10 when I experienced my first sweat lodge, an event that opened my eyes and mind to holistic ways of living and healing.

Like many, I found myself in the corporate world, working 9-5 jobs that left me feeling unfulfilled and disconnected from my true purpose. After the birth of my first daughter, I took a leap of faith into the field of massage therapy and I finally discovered my calling. I fell in love with everything about massage—the way it helps heal not just the body, but also the mind and spirit. Following the advice of a mentor, I explored various areas of massage until I found my niche. After working in multiple clinics and experiencing burnout from the demanding schedule, I knew I needed a change to avoid the same burnout I felt in the corporate world.

My journey led me to a spa, where I discovered my passion for facial massage. The incredible benefits it provided to my clients and the remarkable sense of well-being they experienced after each session truly amazed me. However, knowing that the average career span in massage therapy is only 5-8 years, I realized that I needed to make changes to sustain my career and avoid burnout. I created this guide to help other practitioners prevent physical strain by integrating relaxing facial massage into their services. 

I am deeply passionate about helping other practitioners explore the world of relaxation and understand its importance. These techniques are not just beneficial for our clients; they are essential for our own well-being as practitioners. By embracing these methods, we can extend our careers, enhance our services and improve our quality of life.

Thank you for taking the time to explore this guide. I hope it inspires you to delve into the world of relaxation and discover the profound impact of these techniques. Together, we can continue providing healing and relaxation to our clients while also taking care of ourselves. Here’s to a future filled with more healing, well-being and the transformative power of relaxation.

In wellness & light,

Lesa
