Check out Denise's contribution to the Signature Bride article, "5 Ways to Make Time for Yourself as a Busy Bride."

As a busy bride with a career or maybe school or kids, there are countless demands across all areas of life that require your energy and attention, meaning time for yourself can easily wind up squeezed out of your days. Add in wedding planning and prioritization of your well-being can forever feel like it’s out of reach.

Self-care, which is nurturing your mental, physical and emotional health, is a phrase and concept that most of us are familiar with now. Though the specifics of self-care look different for everyone, many find slowing down and checking in with themselves to be an important part of practicing it.

Giving yourself the space to take a breather—figuratively and literally—is vital to your wellness. Denise Leslie, a licensed massage therapist and the CEO/founder of Medical & Sports Massage in Metro Atlanta, says: “What happens is that we give our brain a chance to reboot. It improves our concentration, it increases our productivity, and it helps us discover or rediscover our own intentions.”

SANDY SPRINGS, Ga. (Atlanta Now News at 10) – Reports show kids returning to school are dealing with more mental health issues than ever, and a local non-profit is launching a program to provide some relief.

Kendall White, 15, is an athlete at Norcross High School and a client at Medical & Sports Massage, where Denise Leslie, the founder and CEO of the practice, has provided therapy for pain and stress for 10 years.

“I train a lot as an athlete, and I recognize that recovery is definitely going to be a part of my development, and Denise has helped me with all my aches and pains in getting through sports and school,” White said. “Balancing training for sports and all the schoolwork, especially with advanced classes, can be very stressful for students,” she said.

Leslie provides mainly physical therapy for White, but she says there’s an urgent need to address the mental health issues youth are facing. “The students that I see have an enormous amount of stress and anxiety, and it shows itself through fatigue, lack of focus, lack of personal hygiene,” said Leslie.
