I’m Leyla (they/she) and I am a queer, mixed bodyworker, health educator, and space holder. I am so glad you’re here. I was born and raised in SF and grew up dancing and practicing yoga.

After graduating from Tulane University with a Bachelor’s in Public Health, I worked in the medical field and was on track to go to medical school. Along the way, I felt a strong calling towards traditional indigenous philosophies of healing, which led me to shift paths. I completed my massage training at NHI in 2023, and in 2024, did Thai massage training. During that time, I also began offering assisted stretch therapy to my community.

Soon, I will start my masters program in acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine.My approach to bodywork is goal-oriented, collaborative, and emergent. I utilize both Western and Eastern modalities, including deep tissue work, trigger point release, myofascial release, and Thai massage. Together, we will get curious about the patterns your body holds, and ease into the fibers with purpose and care.
