Why: Massage has long been thought of as a great way to relax, and it is. Massage also gives people a wide variety of other health benefits. Many people use massage to relieve pain and tension, to assist the body in the healing of injuries, to calm the stresses of life - both physical and emotional, and to nurture a more relaxed life.

Who: My name is Marcia Leitschuh (pronounced Light-shoe). I have enjoyed doing massage for many years, first studying some techniques in 1975. More recently, in December of 1999, I have completed a full, 600-hour course of study at Northern Lights School of Massage Therapy in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am licensed in the state of Wisconsin as a Massage Therapist and am Nationally Certified in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork. Blue Heron Body Work is located in River Falls, Wisconsin. As a qualified therapist, I am committed to giving my best service in meeting the needs of my clients.

What: The techniques I practice include Swedish massage for a full body relaxation massage, Integrative Massage, Trigger Point Therapy and Positional Release for work in specific areas of pain or tension, and Reflexology for activating the healing powers of the body through work done on the feet. In all techniques, I use feedback from the client and from my hands in doing my work.

Sessions: I offer sessions that last 1 or 1½ hours. This is the actual time I spend doing the massage. For your first appointment please allow an extra ½ hour for me to gather a brief health history from you. For ongoing appointments, allow an extra 15 minutes. A 1-hour massage costs $35 and a 1½-hour massage costs $50. Gift certificates are available also. Payment is due at the time of your massage in cash or check. Some insurance will pay for massage in which case I will provide you with a receipt that you can submit for reimbursement.

To Schedule: My schedule is flexible including some day, evening and weekend hours. Please call me at (715)425-8990 to schedule your appointment. You may also email me at marcial@spacestar.net with questions and I will get back to you by phone or email. Massage therapy rejuvenates the body, refreshes the spirit, and quiets the mind. Let me help you toward those goals. Call now and set up your appointment.
