Nourishment through mind, body & soul
Hello and Welcome! I’m Lesley!
As a Holistic Wellness Practitioner and Chef, my passion is to guide you toward your own curiosity, igniting a journey of self-discovery, empowerment, and vibrant well-being. I believe an enlightened path is one enriched with nourishing, gentle self-care practices for the mind, body, and soul - fostering balance, resilience, and a deep connection to yourself, others, and the Earth.
Whether through integrative somatic modalities, Happiness mindset coaching, meditative breathwork, conscious culinary arts, or unique creative workshops, I am here to share resources and tools that support, celebrate and uplift you into your fullest potential and inspire you to authentically live your best life.
My One to One Services
Integrative Massage Therapy
With over 25 years of experience in Eastern and Western bodywork, my massage sessions blend skilled diverse techniques with intuitive compassionate touch. Through meditative rhythm and adaptable pressure, I tailor each session to meet you where you are in your unique needs and comfort, while honoring your body’s capacity to heal safely and mindfully.
In addition to traditional Swedish, Deep Tissue, Myofascial release, Reflexology, Acupressure, elderly/hospice care, Prenatal, Labor/Delivery, Postpartum and Infant Massage, and Sound Healing, I also offer integrative somatic sensory bodywork to engage a mind-body connection through combining open dialogue alongside Tibetan Singing Bowl Vibrational Massage, visualization, sound, and nervous system regulating breathing techniques - allowing a deeper release of stored emotional/physical tension.
Happiness Coaching
Happiness Coaching in a one-to-one setting offers a deeply transformative personalized journey interweaving Eastern Vedic philosophy with Positive Psychology concepts. Through journaling, introspective mindful somatic activities, and cognitive reframing, these sessions are designed to guide you in making changes to thoughts, behaviors, and lifestyle, allowing you to cultivate a greater sense of happiness and contentment. Together, we identify your happiness barriers, build self-awareness, set realistic goals, and develop a new mindset that can inspire a shift in perspective and move you toward a more fulfilling life of abundance, grace and gratitude.
Available in 1-3 month programs consisting of online or in person weekly sessions lasting 90-120 minutes, alongside daily activities, and 15 minute weekly check in calls.
Conscious Culinary Arts
I believe that food and its preparation are sacred rituals—expressions of love, community, and reciprocity with the Earth and those who tend to her. Through conscious creative design, color, and presentation, I aim to enhance the energetics of digestion, both mentally and physically. With deep joy and intention, I craft each menu using sustainably farmed, fresh ingredients that harmonize with wellness retreat modalities. This mindful approach to cooking awakens the senses, nourishes the body, and fosters a deeper connection to Mother Earth’s abundant gifts.
Available for intimate retreats, dinner parties, or special events. Inquire for more details.
Practice Partner Program
The Practice Partner Program helps to support you in building a consistent daily meditation and breathwork routine. Together we’ll design and create a personalized sequence that resonates for you and best suits your needs. Once established, we’ll set weekly sessions to meet and practice together, reinforcing and ensuring a lasting discipline.
Available in person or online.

Shunyata Breathwork & Meditation (SBM)

This class guides you in connecting with your energetic centers, cultivating inner stillness, and finding calm—even in life’s most chaotic moments.

(2 hours)
NavRasa: The Art of Emotional Balancing
NavRasa is a transformative experiential practice rooted in Indian Vedic philosophy that explores the nine core human emotions. Through inquiry meditation activities, music, sharing, deep listening, and blindfolded somatic expressive movement, this workshop offers a unique journey into emotional awareness and self-reflection. By creating a safe and intentional space to invite, embody, accept, and reframe our narratives around these emotions, we allow them to flow naturally through us. As we create space for this process, we allow inner abundance to thrive, organically deepening relationships, expanding perspectives, and fostering personal growth. (3 hours)
My Approach
I take a collaborative, intuitive approach to wellness, empowering you to become an active participant in your own well-being. Together, we can explore and design personalized self-care routines, lifestyles, and goals that are not only achievable but also sustainable and fulfilling. Inspired by my own slow and steady journey of recovery and spiritual transformation, I believe the interweaving of integrative mind-body techniques, grounded in grace, gratitude, curiosity, kindness, and faith in the resilience of the human spirit, allows for a compassionate human experience in one’s healing.. Wherever you are in your process, I will meet you there and walk beside you, gently guiding you back to your inner wealth of health and wellness.
