MEET MAK, LMT
Hello! I'm Makenson Leger a licensed massage therapist with Equal Bodywork in Watertown, MA. I am a father, a brother, and a cool uncle. I enjoy meditation, spending quality time with my family, writing poetry, and watching/playing sports.
My ultimate goal is to create a Wellness Center that provides holistic services to help people with mental, physical, and spiritual growth.
​
I began working as a manual therapist after graduating from the Cortiva Institute of Massage in Watertown in December 2012. I started my practice in April 2018 and it has been very rewarding for me to be able to help more and more clients over the years.
​
My journey into massage started a long time ago when my friend injured her hand. Adamant to help, I learned all about massage therapy just so I could assist her. From there on, the initial seed was planted, and after years of searching for my purpose, I returned to the foundations of massage so that I could help all communities edge away from pain. Having moved from Haiti to the United States, I know what it's like to feel "out of place". I came from a school environment where physical punishment was normal, then moved to a new country where the language was a barrier. Despite these challenges, there was one thing I understood well... No matter what body and country we live in, we all feel and experience pain. We shouldn't have to live with it because we are expected to stay strong. Taking care of yourself is the biggest strength of all.
As your massage therapist, I will guide your pain to relief and your stress to ease. Using custom massage techniques, I offer your muscles the treatment it deserves without labels. Everybody is equal and everybody has the need to feel healed and taken care of, no matter what expectations society assigns to us.
Don't know what massage you need, leave the problem-solving to me. If you have issues with your tissues, Mak's got your back!
