Experience
She draws from extensive experience as an intuitive bodyworker, birth doula, five element acupuncturist, workshop facilitator and shamanic practitioner, to help people get unstuck. Leslie has over twenty years experience in the healing arts which she leverages to create a unique and personal journey for each client. Her multifaceted approach to healing ensures that each person gets exactly what they need.
Guidance
She guides her clients to define their purpose, listen to their bodies, and provides them with tools to pursue their path, create their vision and ultimately achieve their health and life goals. From acupuncture, coaching, shamanic journeying, workshops or retreats, Leslie chooses the tools that guide her clients to their own inner wisdom and helps them learn to understand themselves more deeply.
Awakening
By healing the whole self- physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of being, Leslie helps awaken the healing power within. She helps to unearth and transform the limiting beliefs and stories that hold us back from our potential and create dis-ease in our bodies. Leslie combines the Ancient Wisdom of five-element acupuncture with the most recent neuroscientific research from the coaching world to create lasting and profound change in her patients.
Leslie’s Journey
After studying psychology and women’s literature, Leslie was selected for the Japan Exchange Teaching Program, spending three years living abroad and exploring Eastern philosophy and healing modalities. This experience sparked a curiosity about managing our responses to life’s challenges.
Upon returning, Leslie attended Educating Hands massage school in Miami, where she discovered the body’s wisdom and pursued a career in the healing arts. She fell in love with the 5-element paradigm of Chinese medicine and earned a master’s degree in Acupuncture from the Maryland University of Integrative Health. This transformative understanding fueled her growth as a healer.
Leslie later became adjunct faculty and a clinical supervisor at the Maryland University of Integrative Health. She co-founded Satori Acupuncture and Wellness Center and worked as a doula, empowering women through childbirth. These experiences deepened her belief in our intrinsic power and inspired her to guide clients toward wholeness and healing.
As her skills grew, Leslie’s work began to transform lives. She became a certified life coach through the Transform Coaching Academy and started hosting workshops that blend ancient wisdom with modern transformational processes. Most recently, she became a mesa carrier in the Andean Shamanic Tradition, integrating these ancient healing techniques into her practice. Through her diverse methods, Leslie helps clients tap into their unique gifts and create meaningful life changes that bring joy, balance, health, and abundance.
