“As a professional figure skater, the constant pounding and falling on the ice while training took a toll on my back. The pain started to affect my skating skills drastically, and I thought I would never regain the flexibility and strength in my back before I’d be leaving for my next tour. So, I decided to try massage therapy with Kathleen, and it worked! I was dedicated to coming in to see her for therapy, and now my back feels amazing!”

“I first came to Kathleen for weakness in my right hand that was causing me to drop some items and not be able to place larger objects onto a shelf. Kathleen was able to work the issue out for me in just 3 visits and I no longer experience any weakness in my hand and arm.
Later I was told I needed Surgery for a bone spur on the heal of my right foot. I had remembered how Kathleen helped with my other issue and I asked if she could help. She, again, worked on my calve and foot for 3 sessions and I no longer needed the surgery!  It’s been almost 6 years and no surgery.
*I highly recommend Kathleen for neuromuscular work.”

“I came to Kathleen with a stiff neck that had been bothering me for days. It was a bit uncomfortable getting worked on and she was careful not to use too much pressure and by the next day the stiffness was gone.
I believe in this work and would recommend Kathleen for any kind of pain.”

“I first saw Kathleen for a massage, and it was astounding how she just knows the right level of pressure and touch, and creates an atmosphere with music and oils that takes you to another state of ease. The effect of that massage lasted for weeks, and the others I’ve sent to Kathleen are also thrilled with her work.
When I injured my shoulder in a bike accident, she used her expertise in neuromuscular therapy to release the adhesions and ease the pain that the physical therapist could not.
Kathleen is amazingly tuned in to the needs of her clients, and I refer to her as “ET,” since her ability to do healing is other-worldly.
If you are lucky enough to schedule an appointment with Kathleen for any or all of the listed services, the experience will be unlike any you’ve had before.”

She comes across as being fully dedicated to educating her clients to live healthy and fulfilled lives. Kathleen is a spirited woman, who cannot help but inspire her clients as well. She definitely made an unforgettable impression on me.”

“I have had the great pleasure and blessings of meeting Kathleen Pleasants four years ago.
Kathleen is a gifted and passionate teacher, healer, massage therapist, spiritualist, nutritionist, and all around renaissance woman, with an AWESOME outlook on life. She is one of the few special people that I know who actually walks the walk. I’m grateful to the universe for crossing our paths and I’m proud to say she is my mentor as well as my friend.”

“I have had many massages and body treatments over the past 20 years, but at the TOP OF THE LIST are the treatments I have received from Kathleen Pleasants.
From amazing body massages to superb Cranio-Sacral sessions, Kathleen has always been phenomenal.
Her ability to tune in to me as she works and to allow the healing to take place makes her the best!
Once you experience a treatment from Kathleen, you will be spoiled when it comes to any spa treatment- no one compares to her!”

“Kathleen Pleasants is a very skilled, knowledgable and patient teacher/instructor. I had the pleasure of studying various modalities of massage therapy while training under her for my Certification more than 8 yrs ago. Not only is she a highly capable and professional teacher, she is also a very pleasant person with a sense of humor. My massage clients are full of praise and often comment on my intuitive skills as a bodywork practitioner. I have many (164, last count) positive, written reviews on my website. I have Kathleen Pleasants, in part, to thank for that. I highly recommend her to anyone who is thinking of learning the trade.”

“I just do not have enough good things to say about Kathleen! I took her Massage Therapy course several years ago, and the Reiki Master class. You could not ask for a better teacher. She is funny, witty and very, very patient! She definitely makes learning a fun experience!
Kathleen is very intuitive and is wonderful at knowing what a person, or pet, needs when working with the Bach Flower Remedies.
As far as a massage therapist, she has a true gift of knowing what techniques to use and makes your massage experience wonderful.
Kathleen has always had a thirst for knowledge and it certainly shows with all the modalities she is accomplished in. I would not hesitate to recommend anyone for ANY of her venues!!
Thanks Kathleen!”

“I consulted with Kathleen about a business venture I was interested in. The positive insight that Kathleen provided helped me to get past some of the stumbling blocks I was experiencing.”

“Kathleen is a caring, knowledgeable, and an inspiring professional.  I had a telephone ‘life coaching’ free consultation with her prior to her move out of the area.  Not only did Kathleen really listen, provide support and suggestions for positive change, she also made me feel welcomed.  Our free conversation was not rushed, she spent a lot of time listening to my story.  Kathleen helped to empower me with her words of wisdom.  She was truly concerned for my well-being.  To be honest, I expected a five minute conversation–not the 35 minute one we had.  I highly recommend Kathleen.”
Sincerely,

“The classes I have taken with you may have been a while ago, but I still use that information with clients and friends today. All the information was so easily attained and yet there was SO MUCH information that you gave to each class. How you taught (and I dare say still teach) is so relaxed and welcoming that it allows everyone to go at their pace and yet does not feel like we are slowing down for those not up to our speed, nor slowing the others down.
I have sent so many others to you. If they have not sought you out they will not know what they missed out on – unless they find you out there!!
I just wanted to let you know how much you mean to me, teaching with you, planning classes when we first worked together, great thoughts and wonderful collaboration! The CEU classes you taught are so great and thoughtful. It was great to have you here!”

“I have used multiple services with Kathleen. All her service are excellent. She is a very good teacher. Her teaching is quick and right to the objective. It was always easy to relax and absorb knowledge in her teaching enviorement. I am a Reiki Master and so glad I was taught by her. As a Massage Therapist she works her hands in healing your body like no other. You can feel the difference. I had consulted her with my health issues. With her using BioSet she was able to find the problems faster than the medical field. This saves you in cost and time. She is open to new and effective teachings. Besides going to her, I am not sure where else to find all that she does. Thank you Kathleen for all your excellent services.”

“Kathleen was a great teacher. I became a certified massage therapist through her school and teachings. She always made me feel comfortable and at ease. She is extremely knowledgable and always evoked a sense of peace and tranquility just by being in her presence. She works with you in all ways possible and gives you positive feedback always. I lack self-esteem but she made me feel like I could do anything. I became a healthier person in years since and I attribute it all due to her teachings. I would definitly recommend Kathleen to anyone looking for top-notch schooling!”

“I became certified as a massage therapist in 2004 under the direction of Kathleen Pleasants at Clearly Unique. Her personality is warm and receptive and her knowledge of the human anatomy is impressive, to say the least. As a practitioner, she is very people oriented, and again her knowledge of the anatomy is well versed. Through her training, experience, and intuitive nature you’re guaranteed to receive competent care with Kathleen Pleasants.”

“I had the opportunity to take Kathleen’s massage course in 2009.
I appreciated her patience with all of my many questions during the course, her high attention to detail and her ability to clearly explain the muscles of body and kinesiology to me. Her knowledge of the human anatomy and physiology is profound.
The one-on-one hands on clinical part of the course was invaluable to me. I have had more then one first time client compliment my work and ask where I went to school!
After taking her course I had the confidence and the tools I needed to begin working immediately.
Even though I finished the course in 2009, she continues to help me with any questions I may have from time to time.
Kathleen cares about all aspects of health and wellness and that was very evident to me while I worked with her.
I would highly recommend Kathleen Pleasants as an instructor to anyone who is considering going into the massage therapy field.”

“I met Kathleen in 2001 to take a Level 1 Reiki class and that meeting has changed my life forever! Kathleen is a true reflection of love and light. Her knowledge and passion for what she does, what she teaches and the way she conveys that across to others is amazing! I have also taken Level 2 & 3 Reiki with her and I would highly recommend that anyone having an opportunity to work with, learn from or talk to her, take advantage of that opportunity. What I began learning, through Kathleen, 10 years ago has brought me to where I am today and I feel very blessed to have had such an amazing teacher to show me the light in my path.”

“I met Kathleen when I became interested in learning more about Reiki. I was referred to her by a friend and took a class on Reiki I. What an enlightening, spiritual and fantastic experience I had when I received my first atttunement. I then went on and continued with Reiki II and Reiki III. Every class was a joy. Her teaching is light and easy-going. It was a very comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Kathleen is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met.”

“You have been an excellent teacher and consultant for me, as well as a valuable lifeline. As a consultant, I felt that your passion came through with both patience and extreme knowledge and willingness to share what you know without hesitation. As a teacher, you were both informative, willing to work with any situation given and you required me to step up and learn even the minuscule parts of massaging. It was important for you to get across that the details are as much part of massaging as the movement of hands. This has made a significant ‘trademark’ for when I massage someone. I feel that a good teacher is someone who is passionate about what they do and ready to share it with the world with a sense of compassion. That I would say is you.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for the gift you have given to me and hope to continue sending your gift to everyone I massage.”
