She offers a warm and welcoming environment, making sure you are heard. She listens to the body to make every treatment tailored to her client’s needs every time they are on her table.

She hated turning clients away when they weren’t candidates for laser hair removal, so in 2017 she was bound and determined to learn the art of electrolysis. Her passion is hair removal and her work days are usually spent using one of our top laser or electrolysis machines. She strives to design the best treatment approach for each individual client, sometimes using a combination of both techniques to achieve the best results.

Leanna
In house karaoke, dance parties and everything in between
After spending over 30 years service providing, teaching, managing, directing and consulting in North America and Europe, ownership seemed like the most natural next step for me. I felt I had seen and experienced the good, bad and the ugly of the industry and knew what worked for me and what didn't.
My goal was to create a special and different kind of space for clients, and a genuine family of empowered co-workers who support each other; a place where people from all walks of life could truly feel at home. Inclusion has always been extremely important to me. I believe we all need human connection (even introverts like me) and thus wanted a fun and social place where strangers could become friends and people could find support , kindness and acceptance.
I believe in leading from behind and have been so lucky to have acquired an incredible group of humans to work beside. I feel all jobs in a business are equally important to the puzzle, and together we make Off The Hook. No one is highlighted as being "the business" because not one of us is. Off The Hook is what it is because of what we do together. So finding me on a stage or in a spotlight without the rest of the team would be a rare event.
I am forever grateful for the incredibly passionate, kind, inclusive and driven people that I get to work with every day and the clients that make what we do worthwhile. Especially those that join in to my random outbursts of singing.
