Becoming Connected Alive and Free

Leslie is the founder and director of the Body Awareness Studio, and a Balanced Body Master Instructor. She is known for using Pilates and integrative tools to relieve pain and rebalance the nervous system after physical or emotional stress. She is inspired by the body’s bio-intelligent wisdom for healing and gives her students new ways of thinking, feeling, sensing and moving in life.

An advocate for survivors of sexual abuse, in 2016, Leslie founded the nonprofit organization, Joyous Heart Network, to raise funds for survivors and their families to access transformational healing resources available for any stage or step of the journey to wholeness.

Leslie believes that Pilates combined with enhanced somatic awareness is a powerful resource for healing. Her passion is sharing with others what she has learned through her healing journey.
