About

Hi, I’m Leanne Peace.

I am an Esalen® certified massage therapist, Reiki Master and teacher, and birth & postpartum Doula.

I have been passionate about holistic health and natural healing for over 10 years. I'm the proud mother of 3 daughters, and a steward to 10 wooded acres in Tryon, NC where I live with my husband, children, dogs, cats, chickens and an array of wild animals.

Through years of dance, yoga, breath work, body work and meditation practice, I have seen and felt the profound changes these movement based, somatic and body awareness practices have had on my mental, physical, and spiritual health. I have been called to share this with others, through body work and energetic offerings, as well as presence based birth and postpartum support. My greatest passion is to show up for others, with unwavering presence and true compassion.

Real-World Experience

Beyond formal training, I have countless hours of experience supporting women and families through births, deaths, postpartum, sexual trauma, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, cancer, dementia and any number of life's curveballs in the countless hours with clients in session.

This combination of extensive training and real-world experience has taught me that healing happens in relationship - in the space between practitioner and client, in the presence we bring to each moment, and in the trust that the body knows how to heal when given the right support.

“I’ve had the pleasure of receiving several massages and an energy work session from Leanne. Her sessions are the most peaceful and restorative experiences I’ve had. From the moment I arrived, the atmosphere was calm and welcoming, with soft lighting, soothing music, and a sense of serenity that instantly help me unwind.

She takes the time to listen to my needs and tailor the sessions to focus on the areas where I am holding the most tension. The pressure is perfect—firm enough to release tight muscles, yet gentle enough to be deeply relaxing. I always leave feeling not only physically renewed, but mentally and emotionally refreshed as well.
It is clear that she genuinely cares about creating a nurturing and healing experience. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking to relax, recharge, and reconnect with their body in a peaceful, supportive setting.”
