“The precision with which Manima maps my body is most unique. Laser-like precision in mapping the dis-ease… She didn’t need to press ‘hard’ to have an effect. She followed it through my cells! Because of what I would describe as ‘childlike innocence’ in her hands she’s able to release deep into my cells, easily and naturally.” Layna Larot, Kaua’i ~ Aug. ‘08
“My friend Tina and I got a massage from you and we have not stopped talking about how wonderful it was. The pain in my right hip has subsided and I am able to sleep on that side for a change.” : ) Yvonne K., Oahu Business Exec. ~ July ‘09
My thoughts on my most amazing massage experience -
“As a massage therapist, I have the blessed opportunity to visit many different therapists and spas. Nothing touches the experience I had with Mana Massage and Leslee “Manima”. I had the distinct pleasure of having my Lomilomi experience at the Wailua location. And I have to say that spa’s all over the world try to mimic the tranquil settings that this outdoor setting gives you naturally. The whispers of the wind through the Sacred valley lightens the spirit the first moment you arrive. This is truly one of the most amazing massages given by one of the most talented therapist’s I have ever had the pleasure of meeting.
When I return to Kaua’i, Mana Massage will be the first place I go, so I can begin my stay refreshed and renewed in both body and spirit. Thank you!” Chenoa Puyallup, WA.~ Aug. ‘08
“THANK YOU for the wonderful, amazing massage/healing experience with you on Kauai. You really helped me to shake off what was ailing me that week so the remaining 3 days of my trip were easier for me. You also really helped me to GET MORE IN MY BODY, which is a current major project of mine! I just loved Kauai and so enjoyed meeting you! I will be back!!!!” Carol Ann Ciocco, July ‘07
“Mahalo for the magic! It was exquisite alchemy in a perfect setting, from the whispers of the Wailua River rising out of the sacred valley, to the canopy of stars above. Your hot stone massage under that fragrant tree laced with tinsel fire and tiki torches was a peak bodywork experience for me, and a welcome aloha for my first night on Kaua’i. I felt renewed, as if I, too, would leaf out in twinkle lights like the tree and stars overhead. Thank you so much for your loving professionalism. Everything, from our first correspondence, to arranging for a deposit, to the most subtle detail in that outdoor setting, was handled with careful attention. I am most grateful.” Mahalo nui loa, Joan Poor
“Aloha! I can’t believe I put off going to the ‘club’ for a massage for all these years! Just a few minutes into the session, I knew it was the best massage I have ever gotten. Leslee/Manima, even never having worked on me before, knew exactly where the most crucial areas on my body were that needed ’special’ attention. I’d always put off going the the Kauai Athletic Club thinking it would be a ‘club-rub’. How foolish of me to have searched all these years for a masage therapist like Leslee/Manima and not have considered using who the athletes use. I can’t wait to try some of the other treatments Mana Massage has to offer.” Jenny Stasio, Kaua’i~April ‘07
“Thank you so much for the 2 hour massage you gave me at your Wailua location when Jerry and I were visiting Kaua’i last month. It was such a beautiful setting and an awesome experience. Not to mention how wonderful I felt for about 2 weeks after that, until I returned to work. I was so tense and tight but after the hot stones, the lomi lomi, deep tissue and myofascial, all my stress and tension and knots were gone. I wish I could have brought you home with me. I have recommended you to all my friends that frequent Kaua’i. Thank you again. I can’t wait to return for another session.” Roberta Notrangelo, Calif. Professional
“I have been seeing Leslee for over 20 years now and, where I have seen other Massage Therapists during this time, I can truthfully say that no others can compare with her. Her hands intuitively seek out the source of problems and release the tension. In some subliminal way Leslee is able to communicate with her client’s physical needs and relieve the stress and relax and renew the Spirit. When she has completed her session I am refreshed, relaxed and pain free – She is the Best!” Martha F. Ryker, M.D., Kaua’i
“Of the three, very different, birthing methods of my children, the youngest, Daniel’s, was the easiest and by far the most coherent of them all. Being my first totally natural birth, my sister, Leslee (Manima), assisted me by performing numerous types of massage and reflexology during the labor process, making the experience virtually, well…almost, pain-free. The expertise in her hands and body movement and the knowledge in her mind served to relieve and relax my entire body throughout what could have been a contracting birthing ordeal…no, I think, nightmare might fit as a better word in this instance . She is a JEWEL in the massage world, a flower to be plucked by the select few that make it to her massage table. Kauai is SO lucky to have her. To honor her love and intense work on my behalf, Daniel was graced to have “Auntie Les” as his God-Mother. Thanks, Les….you deserve the best, for always giving your BEST.” Aloha nui loa, Barb
“I loved that you had several techniques to work on the part of my body that needed help.” Diane Strachan, Calif. Business Woman
