I had two sessions with Janelle and my pain was completely gone. 

“I was suffering from a chronically painful shoulder due to my working conditions, and was finding it hard to concentrate on work.  I had two sessions with Janelle and my pain was completely gone.  That was two months ago and it hasn’t returned.  Her scientific knowledge of the body and her intuition about healing are just priceless.  I will go to her always for healing.”

Honestly, Janelle is the best Massage Therapist I’ve ever had.

“Honestly, Janelle is the best Massage Therapist I’ve ever had. She is very strong and really knows her anatomy so that when your massage is over you really feel like you got a deep, truly therapeutic massage. She’s also a very good listener and communicator. Before your massage, she’ll check in with you to find out what areas are bothering you and then incorporate more intensive work on those areas into the general massage. And as an added bonus she often uses all-natural essential oil aromatherapy to help you relax and refresh. I really can’t recommend her highly enough. And a note to pregnant women: Janelle is great with pre-natal massage!”
– Marsha Benson, Portland, OR

Her ability to sort out what needs attention and then provide therapeutic rebalancing is superb.

“I have received massages from multiple practitioners since my first session over 30 years ago.  Janelle is in the top group of these therapists.  As a former massage therapist and current Naturopathic physician, I further appreciate Janelle’s depth of knowledge, expertise, and multiple approaches that she uses to achieve body balancing.  Her ability to sort out what needs attention and then provide therapeutic rebalancing is superb.”

I have never had a Therapist do what she can for my chronic pain.

“Janelle Leoanard has been my Massage Therapist for as long as she has been in practice. I have never had a Therapist do what she can for my chronic pain. I am a hair stylist of over 10 years and because of my craft I often have pinched nerves, numbness in my arms, neck problems, sciatic nerve issues, and many other sore spots in my body. I have been able to see Janelle for this almost once a month in the past. Massage for me has never been a relaxing treat but more of a necessary maintenance ritual. I have had many therapists over the years and I am not the only one who feels that Janelle is by far the most talented I have ever had. She has a soothing demeanor and a strength within her that is truly magic.”
– Stacy Askew – Portland, OR

Her massages are perfect — she really gets anatomy and energy and knows just where and how to use her touch to the greatest benefit.

“Janelle offers some of the most nourishing body and energy work I’ve ever experienced. At the beginning and end of a session she puts a lot of care into creating and honoring a sacred and intentional space — and it makes a big difference in the depth of healing and relaxation that can happen in that container.  Her massages are perfect — she really gets anatomy and energy and knows just where and how to use her touch to the greatest benefit. She also employs other complementary tools when appropriate, such as sound healing and essential oils. Janelle is a clear, vibrant spirit who truly cares about helping people to feel their best. I highly recommend her healing services.”

She’s a healer in the truest, most ancient sense of the word.

“I went to see Janelle one day when I was in a bit of a funk. I don’t remember the particulars, but I was feeling pretty fragile, and was hoping a nice massage might help me feel better. What I didn’t realize, was that I’d be getting welcomed in by the sweetest ‘mama’ energy; given the caring ear of the most thoughtful counselor; read and ‘fluffed’ by a magical energy healer; and — oh yeah — soothed by the masterful hands of an experienced masseuse. Did I mention this is all one person? It would be a terrible disservice to call Janelle a mere massage therapist — she’s a healer in the truest, most ancient sense of the word. She was exactly what I needed that day.”
– Heather B. Allison, heatherballisonphotography.com, Seattle, WA

My massage was the perfect combination of therapeutic and relaxation.

“My massage was the perfect combination of therapeutic and relaxation. Janelle was able to “tune in” to my body’s needs and address areas of tightness with a firm but gentle touch. Her integration of tuning forks, essential oils, and breathing techniques all added to the pleasant and soothing atmosphere. I will return — thank you, Janelle!”

After 90 minutes with her I leave feeling totally renewed and relaxed.  Very professional and caring!  

“I have been to many massage therapists in my life and Janelle is one of the best. She always concentrate on my areas of concern, particularly my neck and shoulders.  She does a myofascial release and eliminates the chronic pain in my shoulders. . And the “hot compresses ” she uses really helps my tense muscles.   Janelle is a wonderful healer and she is very intuitive.  After 90 minutes with her I leave feeling totally renewed and relaxed.  Very professional and caring!  I highly recommend her.”
