ABOUT ME
Rebekkah Lee, LMT
Rebekkah customizes each session to address the specific needs of her clients using a whole body approach. Drawing from each of her modalities, she works with her clients to tailor their sessions to promote healing on both a physical as well as an energetic level.

Each visit targets specific areas of tension and imbalance to help her clients create balance and improve function. The goal is that they leave their sessions with a renewed feeling of health, rejuvenation, and relaxation as well as tools of empowerment to care for their well being.
