Here are few comments that best offer a variety of experience.
I've avoided repetitive comments as much as possible
" Leslie has been my massage therapist for several years and I can truthfully say that she is the most intuitive and efficient practitioner I have ever experienced. I was referred to her through my doctor because of leg cramps, back, and neck problems I was having, due to a disability. From the very first massage until today, she has always been able to isolate the problem area and, because of her knowledge of many different massage techniques, she is able to give relief. I have recommended her to many of my friends and family, particularly those with back and neck problems, and I am so grateful she is available to us on the Big island!" Linda Gillette
"...the ambiance of Leslie's studio settles my muddled and stressed mind and her strong touch, especially on my aching neck and shoulders, releases all my bodily stresses... I am a completely relaxed woman on my way out!" Nancy N.
"I have been getting massaged regularly since 1985. Over those years I have had numerous therapists working on me and I can easily say that Leslie Hess is right up there in my top 3 list of fabulous massagers...Her hands are skilled, her intuition is keen, she has a smooth, lovely rhythm that aids in relaxation even while she is going deep into tight spots. Leslie asks for and then listens to me express my preferences at each session and responds accordingly. She is witty and warm hearted and still a true professional. I always come away from a treatment with Leslie with a big smile on my face and an ahhhhhhh in my body...I recommend her highly and without reservation." Zett Amora
"Leslie has kept me on the courts, in the saddle and swinging a golf club with her miraculous healing touch. I treasure every minute on her table and feel it is the best gift one can ever receive or give to themselves. If you haven’t experienced a massage done by her feet you haven’t had a deep tissue massage yet. Just writing about it makes me weak in the knees!" Marty Hind
“....deeply intuitive, the perfect blend of artisan and technician, always makes me laugh and we all know laughter is the BEST medicine!” Staci Shupe "I have been fortunate to have had massages for over 40 years." My earliest therapists were a Japanese husband and wife team who did the Japanese style. Really good, deep tissue. After they passed on I tried many different therapists. LESLIE HESS is the best that I've found! Her technique is unique and varied. She will check out your body to see where she should focus the treatment. All age groups love her style! You will find her to be an excellent massage therapist! Geri Giffin
"Your massage is one of my all time favorites.. your ashiatsu is incredible.. it is hard to distinguish your foot work from your loving hands" Judith Annettes
"... I always trust that whatever I need will evolve throughout the massage. She is incredibly strong but can also work gently into sensitive and sore areas. She has seen me through recovering from a car accident, my prenatal months and postnatal changes. Leslie always welcomes me with a smile, and honest approach to the session and the space from which she works feels like home when you walk in and invites a sense of privacy and calm ..... I feel lucky to know her and to be able to receive her wonderful touch, she is truly gifted and the love for her craft comes through in each session." Tiffany Bergin
"I trust Leslies work because she really feels with her hands (palpates)
and works in the right places with the right pressure. She doesn't lay down a technique like a coat of paint." Carol Phelan
"Leslie Hess is a "therapist extraordinaire" who offers a variety of treatment techniques in her massage, and she has an innate ability to zero in on what your body needs to repair the damage done by stress, age and exercise. I especially like the "hot rocks" massage because it is soothing and puts me in "la la land". I look forward to my monthly appointments as I always leave feeling rejuvenated." Kathleen Painton
"My line of work along with my poor back conformation have lead to years of chronic back pain. Since I began my monthly treatments with Leslie I am able to rise out of bed in the morning and get through the day with limited or no discomfort. I have been treated by numerous massage therapists in my lifetime and Leslie's skills and approach are without a doubt the best I've experienced. She is able to focus in on
problem areas or injuries to enhance the healing process. For me the strength of her hands and feet along with the hot stones provide me with the most relaxation and rehabilitation. I hope I retire before she does because I'm not sure what I'm gonna do without her!" Brady J. Bergin DVM
