Gratitude Massage & Bodywork

Great massage right in downtown Grass Valley. I love to be able to schedule online with ease. Leslie is professional, intuitive and skilled in her field! She’s my «go to» for pampering myself and feeling great. Ahhhh…

I just had my first massage with Leslie, and I’m looking forward to more!
In a word, excellent!

Leslie is amazing! I have been having chronic neck and upper back pain. I felt so much better after going to Leslie. In addition, she spent time offering suggestions for exercises I could do to stretch my neck and back. She is so much more knowledgeable than any other massage therapist I’ve been to!

Best massage I’ve ever received. Very knowledgable with the body. A true gem of Nevada county.

I was staying in Grass Valley for a wedding last weekend and was suffering from major back pain. I had two free hours on a Saturday morning before I had to get ready for the wedding and came across Leslie’s office. I was just walking the cute downtown area and stumbled upon it. I called Leslie thinking it would be unlikely that she’d be able to fit me into her schedule so last minute. But I was happily, and gratefully, surprised when she responded that she would make it work.
She was kind and listened very well to what I told her was bothering me. She then gave me a wonderful massage and really helped relieve my back pain.
I would absolutely go back to her if I end up visiting the area again.
I highly recommend her. Well priced, thoughtful and great at what she does.

I honestly have to say after 16 years of receiving various modalities of massage techniques and after running my own wellness practice for several years, I know how to critique a great massage. Leslie’s techniques and manner of taking a personal interest in the well-​being of me as her client is exceptional. If you want to benefit for days after having a massage — Leslie is your therapist. I recommend her highly and can’t wait to receive my next massage from her.

It is hard to think of a more apt name for this company than «Gratitude». After every massage session with Leslie, you can’t help but feel it in spades.
I’m a person in my fifties and I lead a pretty active life. I spend a good portion of my time snowboarding, cycling and hiking — and my wife and I also have a small ranch. All of these can take their toll, and lead to simple aches and pains, as well as an occasional injury.
For most of my life, I approached a massage as something I might treat myself to from time to time. It was only after my wife gave me a multi-​session gift that I realized how important a monthly visit would become. It does not take very much time with Leslie before you realize that massage is not «just a job» for Leslie. A student of multiple types of therapy, Leslie brings her knowledge of multiple disciplines and human anatomy to her work every day. Whether I am coming in for a tune-​up, or to address some specific problem, I know that Leslie is going to help me.
Every session starts with a review of how I am feeling, any particular issues I might have, and agreement on some particular area of focus for the day. I have never ever left Leslie’s studio feeling like my time with her wasn’t 100% worth it. She has become a partner in improving my overall health, and often will consult with me on stretching and exercise recommendations to help keep me feeling better.
After seeing Leslie for about a year, it came as no surprise to learn that Leslie’s efforts extend to helping out in her community. She organizes massage workshops with her peers, and also participates in a program which provides massage for people who have physical problems and aren’t always financially able to pay for the help they need.
Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Leslie. You will feel great and feel very grateful as well.
