About Me

Lelia Chiles Maloney, LMBT, has over 33 years of experience as a Massage Therapist.

She has served as a Professor of Massage Therapy at Greenville Technical College and as an Instructor at The Whole You School of Massage. She is also licensed in South Carolina to offer continuing education for currently licensed massage therapists.  She has dedicated over 31 years to her teaching career.

Lelia specializes in trauma bodywork healing.  She has developed a holistic treatment approach, designed to reestablish a feeling of security within the body.  Which fosters and promotes lasting positive changes.  Her method includes the EAR System, a distinctive approach she developed, along with Trauma Touch Therapy, Somatic Emotional Release, and Somatic Experiencing, all of which address physical and emotional pain through memories stored in muscle tissue.

Trauma Bodywork, when conducted by a trusted therapist, fosters and reinforces a relationship that provides the client with both physical and emotional comfort.  This sense of comfort and trust, in turn, creates an atmosphere that is conducive to recognizing the underlying causes of the stress that one's body may be experiencing.

Owner of Taylors Massage Therapy Clinic, a Center for Intergrated Healing and Therapeutic Studies.  

I am currently in my second year of the Somatic Experiencing training created by Dr. Peter Levine.  I have completed the Beginning Levels I, II, and III, as well as Intermediate Levels I and II.

Objective

My expertise lies in discerning the subtle cues from the body's responses and focusing on muscle memory to assist clients with PTSD, Traumatic Brain Injuries, or various emotional disorders.   I believe that the memories stored within our cells affect every aspect of our lives.  My goal is to help individuals potentially regain a sense of security within their own bodies, enhance their awareness, and foster the development of new responses.
