I am A.J. Leigh, Licensed Massage Therapist in Goldsboro, North Carolina.
Body + Mind + Spirit = Living Well on Purpose
I specialize in assisting to restore range of motion and relieve chronic pain in the upper back, neck and shoulders; and lower back and hips as well as from conditions such as carpal tunnel, frozen shoulder or torn rotator cuff, pelvic tilt, sciatica, arthritis and more. My goal is to help you experience less strain on your muscles.
​
I was severely pigeon-toed as a child - like my toes almost pointed directly at each other. My mom put me in ballet, which corrected that problem, but kinda confused the muscles in my hips. Fast - forward to my teen years and I did a couple of years in gymnastics and four years of incredibly competitive Tae Kwon Do, during all of which I unevenly trained both sides of my body. I was also in two car accidents in which I suffered whiplash. By my mid-20s, I had degenerative arthritis in my cervical spine.
​
Leaping ahead to my late 30’s – I'd had whiplash three more times and been in some degree of pain every day for over 20 years. I discovered massage therapy and Reiki, fell in love with them and am now pursuing a career that feels like I spend every day having fun rather than working. I have healed so much in myself, and am passionate about helping others to heal. I'm also completely pain free most days... It would be everyday, but I haven't found a massage therapist that's a good fit for me since I moved.
​
I lived in Fayetteville, NC as a child and always wanted to move back to North Carolina. In June 2021, I moved to Goldsboro. I worked as a massage therapist with the aircrew on Seymour Johnson Air Force Base for a year. While I loved working with the aircrew, I prefer to work for myself than someone else.
​
I enjoy spending time reading, learning new things, and collecting as many beautiful Tarot and Oracle card decks as strike my fancy.
​
I look forward to helping you live your life with less daily aches and pains!
