The Elegant Alchemist

I rarely write reviews, but felt I needed to write this review specifically about Leah. I’ve had several massages from her. She was very interactive and really worked with me to address my specific issues. She was persistent in getting my problem areas worked on, and was successful! When I went to see her a couple years ago, I didn’t sleep very well for three years. I had serious back muscle issues. In two sessions, I could sleep through the night! With all the time I sit at a computer, I look forward to tune-​ups! Thanks Leah!

Leah is amazing. I went to her, based on these great Unilocal reviews, with a big neck problem. I was not disappointed. She is so knowledgeable with amazing skills to put all the knowledge to use. She was very attentive, careful and thorough. She really helped shorten the recovery time with my intermittent neck flare up issue. I am so pleased with the results and her ability that I have scheduled future appointments to have her work on some other less urgent problem areas that I experience as a result of having a major leg length discrepancy.

She is an excellent massage therapist. She has put her past training to good use on me. She has high hygiene standards and always looking out for your welfare. She is very knowledgeable with a caring heart and pleasant personality. I highly recommend her.

I have been seeing Leah for as long as she has been here. She is excellent. I had a massage today with her fill in massage therapist and I would like to mention that she also gives an excellent massage. So while Leah is out, do not hesitate to try Marjorie. You will still get an excellent massage.

I can’t say enough about how much Leah has helped me! I was seeing a chiropractor and he sent me to her as a massage therapist. I saw her many times, but she helped me get through my chronic neck and shoulder pain. She is absolutely fabulous, and I recently started getting facials there and I love them! Love the products she uses, and love that they are all natural

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Leah and her talents for massage. I was introduced to Leah almost five years ago when she was with another massage group and became such a fan of her work that I followed her when she left to pursue Elegant Alchemist. As an avid CrossFitter, my body needs a lot of TLC and Leah is the only person I will allow to perform a deep tissue massage, as she is excellent at communicating what she’s doing, why she’s doing it, but more importantly, listening to my needs.
I have made numerous referrals to my friends and will continue to praise Leah for her healing touch. With that said– I’m looking forward to my next massage!

I have been going to Leah for quite awhile and she is the best. She gives a therapeutic massage and gives tips to help get relief at home. She asks questions about your specific problems and makes sure they get addressed. I appreciate that she uses all natural products and ones that do not test on animals. I’ve gone to many therapists and as long as Leah is available she is the only one I will use.

Love my stylist, but I can no longer be a client here. The owner has made me feel uncomfortable on two occasions. It is obvious that she only cares for herself, not once in the two years I’ve been a client there has she come over to me and introduced herself. I see her during each one of my appointments, but the only reason I know she is the owner is because of the attitude she gave my stylist right in front of me, and I asked who she was. Talk about uncomfortable. they won’t be seeing me there any more, and I’m sure I’m not the only one. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. Save your time and your money. Go somewhere else.

This was one of the best massages I ever had. Leah is extremely knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do to get rid of the pain I was experiencing. It is now four days post massage and I am still feeling better than I have in a very long time. She is also very nice, and the way she set up/​decorated the room is very calming and relaxing (and also very clean). Highly recommended.

It is rare to find someone to do good body work. Not just a massage, but true body work. Leah knows her anatomy, and is always taking additional training. She knows just how to target my trigger points and release tension that has been built up for years. I’ve been through several massage therapists and injuries, so I’m pretty picky about who I have work on my body. It’s always such a treat to see Leah too because her studio is so relaxing and I feel pampered even when we’re doing serious work on my muscle knots! She’s also a delight to talk to, I always enjoy our time!

Leah is Amazing she is wonderful, she is knowledgeable and just a Joy to speak with I really can not wait to go back I feel so much better after getting all the stress out of my back :) Thank you Leah

Leah is amazing. Gentle, friendly, a good listener. She actually takes the time to understand what you need done and the customizes the facial your skin type. I got the Norwegian facial. She uses all natural products, which left my face feeling soft, cleansed and happy. I also got an amazing massage. The warm towels are soooo relaxing! I left the spa feeling rejuvenated and completely relaxed.

The dynamic duo: Esthetician and Massage Therapist. Wait, that’s one person? — YES. Leah is an amazing massage therapist whom I have followed from her previous location. I have an extremely sedentary desk job and hold terrible posture during my commute. Leah has been able to improve my posture and always recommends at-​home care, that I can do to myself, in-​between appointments.
My favorite story to share is when I saw her during July of 2014. I had recently gotten a terrible sunburn (I have fair skin, light eyes, light hair, and freckles); and when I came to see Leah for my massage she not only took care of my aching muscle pains, she also tended to my «alligator skin». I call it alligator skin, because I had these thick patches of cracking skin on my shoulders and hips. She treated the damaged areas with intense yet gentle moisturizing products and oils. My skin bounced back quicker than I have ever seen.
She now offers an Organic Spray Tan service that I am dying to try (let’s try to avoid alligator skin).

I really like Leah. She is very confident in her treatments. No wait time, very friendly and I appreciated how much she knows about the products she uses. The room is very nice and easy to relax in.
I feel she cares about my skin as much as I do.

Leah is a definite gem, and she has a keen sense for the skin. I had a facial with her today and we talked about a good plan for addressing my post-​baby oily skin. I am honestly extremely impressed with the way my skin looks and feels now. She had a lot of good information and tips, was well versed in organic, natural, and non– organic product options, and customized my treatment based on my preferences. I felt relaxed, and pampered too so the treatment was a win-​win! She has a lot of heart in her work which makes it fun to work with her. Highly recommend Leah and I will be returning to see her as well!

I love seeing Leah! I’ve been going to her for almost 2 years and followed her to Three Palms where she is now. Not only is the building beautiful but Leah’s room is located upstairs and is decorated in the cutest way! Leah’s massages help my back and shoulders so much. I am a hairstylist and on my feet with my arms up all day so my body is a wreck! She works so hard to get me back in shape and I always feel so much better after every visit! She recommends things for me to do at home to help my sore muscles as well. She’s also incredibly sweet! I’m so happy that I found her! She’s gives the best massages I’ve ever received! Make sure you go check her out!

If you are looking for a massage from a person that knows the body then Leah is the person to see. She is very thorough and will taylor your massage to your specific needs. She has an awesome personality and listens carefully to your concerns. She not only gives amazing massages but her facials are absolutely wonderful. She has some excellent products and again is there to meet your needs.
You definitely will not be sorry with her services.

I see Leah about once a month because she is *AMAZING* at what she does! She recently moved to this new location and I’m eager & happy to follow. I have a labor intensive job and need the sports therapy/​deep massage focused on certain areas. She is very personable, easy to talk to and listens. She really customizes every massage to what you need at that moment in time. What I also really like is that she is also great with trigger point therapy. I leave my aches, pains, and knots behind me and go home feeling like jello and completely relaxed.

I am a massage therapist. Most of my clients require specific bodywork, including Deep Tissue. I know Deep Tissue. Leah «brings it!» She keeps me loosened up & ready to do my work. Her techniques are awesome!

I have been to Leah twice for chronic lower back pain and pain associated with sciatica and have to say she is working miracles. In the 25+ years I have been dealing with back issues I have been to doctors, other massage therapists and chiropractors without much success but after just one session I knew she was going to offer the help I needed. After two sessions I was sold. I have set up regular appointments with her and feel I may finally get my life back. While I realize 25 years of back issues will not be resolved completely the improved flexibility and range of motion she is giving me without pain will enhance my quality of life greatly. Thank you Leah!
