Meet Leonie
My Approach
I am ever awed by the innate and incredible healing gift of touch. To hold and be held is our most simple and yet profound resource. It provides safety by calling us into presence and connection.
I offer a choice of Shiatsu (clothed, Japanese bodywork therapy) and bespoke Massage to give your body-mind-being an opportunity to rest, rejuvenate, re-energise and repair itself. Both treatments can ease physical discomfort, support emotional wellbeing, counter the impacts of chronic stress in the body and support general health. Receiving bodywork, in my view, is not only an essential part of a healthy lifestyle but an act of self-care. It allows us to assimilate and integrate our life experiences in a spacious and undemanding way.
My approach to healing honours the interconnectedness of physical health and emotional and mental wellbeing. My bodywork is both physical hands-on treatment and energy medicine.
During any session I work intuitively, exploring and responding to how I feel your body is expressing where it is calling to be held, met, supported or otherwise engaged with. Ill health, physical pain, tension, and discomfort have resonance with other aspects of life. Relational habits, emotional wounding, unexpressed emotions can impact how we move, hold and present ourselves to the world. Physical symptoms can be seen and addressed as gateways through which to engage the body's innate wisdom and healing resources to bring integration, transformation and flow.
My touch is an invitation to the body/mind to know itself, to resource and find deep rest. Allowing oneself to be held by another can help the body to feel safe to let go of the strategies habitually or reflexively employed to function and operate through life. Deep, gentle release and repatterning is an automatic and natural response; creating choice for new possibilities and ways of being in the world.

Testimonials
“I go to Leonie regularly for shiatsu and also deep tissue massage work. She is probably the most intuitive and effective practitioner I have ever been to. Her treatments are transformative.” Ali McArthur
“I’ve had many massages over the years but without question a massage from Leonie Klein is the best I’ve ever had. It’s a sublime experience ~ unique ~ borderline ethereal! Leonie responds to you as an individual, never does the same massage twice and never treats you as just another client. Her attention to detail and perception of your body’s aches and pains is wonderfully reassuring and healing. I’ve recommended Leonie to everyone I know and I always describe her in one simple word ~ ‘magical’.” Helen McNicholas
