Testimonials
I cannot think of anything better than to have Leita arrive at my house to give me an Indian massage. Leita was happy to fit in with a time that suited me and arrived with all she needed to give me the most relaxing head massage I have ever had. Leita has such a relaxed demeanour, and calming manner. Leita is able to ascertain if you want to be talked through the process or if you are happy to just go with the flow. I felt totally at ease during the massage. Leita is very skilled masseuse I felt very relaxed and ‘’like a new person” at the end of the session. I would not hesitate to call Leita again for an Indian head massage.
I’ve had an Indian Head Massage twice with Leita. Because I wasn’t sure what to expect she explained it really well before we started. I have a physical job and my upper back and shoulders gets tight. The Indian Head Massage involves firm gentle massage and helped with easing that tightness. Leita constantly checked on the pressure so that I was comfortable throughout. I was left feeling relaxed and well balanced afterwards. I can’t wait for my next Indian Head Massage! Facial Treatment: I have had many facials with Leita and really love how they cleanse my skin and how refreshed and rejuvenated it is afterwards. She uses an amazing little machine which is commonly called the “wrinkle iron”. It works wonders! I have continued using her skincare products because they suit my skin so well and people often comment on how good my skin looks.
Anyone thinking or not heard about an Indian Head Massage should try one now. I didn’t know much about the Indian Head Massage before I decided to have one. I found it very therapeutic and enjoyable. Leita has a lovely relaxed, friendly manner that immediately makes you feel at ease and comfortable. This is a wonderful treatment to help you relax and take time out for yourself. It is not just for your head but also covers your shoulders, upper back, neck, and arms. Thankyou Leita, I would recommend your Indian Head Massage to anyone.
