I’ve been working with Leslie for almost four years now. She’s always been incredibly kind, patient, and motivating. I began with training and about a year ago started nutrition sessions with her as well. I have an autoimmune condition that impacts my skin and joints. With Leslie, I was able to take a food sensitivity test and remove those foods from my diet. I’ve seen a drastic improvement in my digestion, skin, and overall well being over the past year. Leslie genuinely listens and cares about your experiences and symptoms. She works with you to come up with solutions and steps that work for your lifestyle and abilities. She’s always had a more holistic approach and I highly recommended working with her!!
