Samantha Leonard 

Somatic Practitioner, LE, CMT & CMLD

East Sacramento

My Esthetics career began in 2002, after a transformative journey to Thailand. In countless countries and cultures around the world, self care practices are passed down generation to generation. They relieve stress and bring the body back into balance utilizing body movement, massage techniques, and plants & herbs to support the immune system.

My education has consistently deepened over the years. I became a certified Massage Therapist in 2010, and in 2017 became certified in Vodder Cosmetic Manual Lymphatic Drainage. My Manual Lymphatic Drainage training has brought the biggest shift, expanding and deepening my Somatic practices.

In 2019, I completed three courses: the ancient healing modality of Gua Sha; Dien Chan Facial Reflexology; and finally, Sculptural Face Lift or Buccal Facial Massage in Russia.

I continue to look for ways to expand the healing I bring to my clients. Traveling in 2022 to Kona, Hawaii to study Fascia Connection with Angela Leslee. Deepening my Facial reflexology training, the art of fascia connective tissue sculpting, with Jackie Van Ruler in 2020 and in 2023.

Most recently I’ve entered into the Upledger Institute beginning studies in Cranio Sacral Therapy. I’m so excited to begin this journey into Cranio Sacral work and the impact it will create for my clients!

I am passionate about my training and my work. I look forward to helping my clients meet their skin and healthful living goals each day.

I look forward to helping you carve out some time for yourself and bring your body back into balance at Blue Tangerine.
