HI! I'm Leslie Stager RN, LMT.  I teach Bodywork Classes for professionals who want to work with women's health: monthly cycles, "taboo" zones of the body, and the power, mystery, and capacity of the female body to create and nourish another human being.

I also work as a hospice RN, and have a Private Massage Practice in Nevada City, California.

Since 1992, I have led the way in topics that most avoid. In the early 90's, when pregnancy was considered a contraindicated condition for massage,  I was teaching that it was safe and necessary and developed bodywork trainings for Pregnancy, Birth and New Mothering Massage. I have been one of few to teach Breast Massage, Bodywork for Menstruation, Womb Health, Fertility Enhancement, and Menopause.  Currently I'm focused on teaching bodywork for the sacred zone  of Pelvic Floor Bodywork.

Deep embodiment occurs when the physical, mental, emotional and energetic/ spiritual bodies are touched with compassion and listening, and each individual is given enough time to connect with their own "body wisdom" to really "become Embodied". The body never lies; instead it is our best resource for finding the clearest path of healing

I bow to the wise, inspiring teachers who've guided my path in both bodywork and life work: Terri Nash, Rosita Arvigo, Tom Myers, Bryan Baisinger, Lee Morgan, Tami Kent, Elaine Marie, Steven & Meredith Foster-Little, Martin Prechtel and all clients I've supported through birth, death, and all parts between.
