Amanda Legsdin, LMT, CPT

    Amanda has been working in the alternative health field since 2000 when she graduated from North Eastern Institute of Whole Health in Manchester, New Hampshire where she obtained her massage therapy training. Soon after she also obtained her skincare license.  After working for other establishments in MA and CA, Amanda opened the studio in Dover to be able to practice the modalities she felt the most connection with and to spend the quality time with clients that wasn't allowed at larger businesses.   In 2018 the studio was moved to a professional home office in Strafford to keep prices affordable for clients and to offer treatments in a serene, natural environment surround by organic gardens and the healing energy of nature.

Amanda chooses to focus on Myofascial Release and Bowenwork therapy for chronic pain because of her own struggle with chronic migraines and  neck and shoulder pain which have responded well to these two modalities.  In Spring 2017 she obtained her personal trainer certification in order to legally guide clients in therapeutic exercises and stretches, enabling enhancement and speed of client recovery from pain and postural imbalances. Amanda has also added mat Pilates and Slings Myofascial training into her repertoire of movement therapies along with self help strategies using tools such as fascial release balls.
