Leslie Stager RN, LMT

For over 35 years, I’ve dedicated my career to women’s health as a Massage Therapist and Educator. I authored the textbook Nurturing Massage for Pregnancy in 2008, used in massage schools across the U.S. and created the Maternity Massage Certification program at Oregon School of Massage, empowering therapists to skillfully support pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and the often-overlooked areas of the pelvic floor, belly, and breasts.

My journey also includes being a Labor & Delivery Nurse, Doula, Childbirth Educator, and Hospice Nurse, alongside unique chapters as a tango dancer, wilderness guide, photographer, and wigwam-dweller in Maine.

In massage/pelvic floor/belly sessions, we aim toward deep embodiment—a harmonious connection of physical, emotional, mental, and energetic layers. Healing begins when we honor the body’s innate wisdom, moving into body-time, body wisdom, and listen carefully to its guidance, remembering that the body never lies. Together, we’ll tap into this wisdom, your most profound resource for healing!
