About

Rachael Leigh-BS, LMT, LE, MLD-C

Hi, I’m Rachael Leigh, owner and the face of Apply Pressure! Wellness and athleticism are part of who I am — a former cheerleader, bodybuilder, and lifelong athlete. Through my personal journey, I developed a deep passion for health, holistic healing, and helping others feel confident.

I hold a B.S. in Kinesiology and am a dual-licensed massage therapist and esthetician, as well as a certified Manual Lymphatic Drainage therapist (Vodder technique). My mission is to educate others on the importance of prioritizing their overall wellbeing in relation to performance.

I work with athletes and high performers because I understand what it’s like to live in a body that demands more. My personal journey of healing on a holistic level — including the skin, gut, hormones, and mind — has inspired me to help others do the same.

Through a combination of skin therapy, massage therapy, and lifestyle guidance, I focus on promoting total wellness. I believe true results come when clients are equipped not only with intentional treatment-but also when given the space to rest in their worth without over-proving through their performance.

“”Rachael is very good and very passionate about what she does. I’ve had plenty of sports massages and most people just do simple massages, but not Rachael. She asks questions to make sure you are feeling the pressure..You sit on that table with aches, and get up feeling fresh and revived!”

“I’ve been to Rachael several times for massages & highly recommend her for any service. Most recently, I did a lymphatic facial which left my face looking bright and hydrated. I swear my face was glowing even 3 days after the service.”

“Where do I begin?! Rachael is, without question, the most knowledgeable massage therapist I have ever had! She KNOWS the body! How it functions, what it needs, and how to heal it.
