If you heard the call and made it here, then you are on the right path. It’s never too late to ‘start’ your journey, or continue by finding tools along the way to help you move forward on your path. My curiosity started when I was a child and grew into the work I did and education I completed over the past three decades. My passion is to work with people who know there is something they need to do to become more attuned with themselves, but need companionship on how to get there.

I started off in Edmonton with a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology and Sociology, learning about what makes us who we are. From there, I moved to Australia and leaned into the Psychology space, having an interest in Human Development and Neuroscience, learning about why we become the people we are. Having my own lived experiences and learning more about myself in relation to others, I moved into the mystical realm where I acquired various tools to help inform about how we interact with ourselves individually and collectively from a psycho-spirititual perspective. I completed my Transpersonal Counselling advanced diploma which incorporated a shamanic perspective and tools to working holistically with people.

When we experience trauma in life, we often create versions of ourselves to help cope with these experiences in order to protect ourselves. Understanding our patterns and limiting beliefs can help inform us of how we can move forward through challenging times in life. Having a safe space to map patterns of emotional experiencing can help us to uncover limiting beliefs and find ways to move forward in preferred ways of being.

My most recent choice to work in the Therapeutic Arts has informed me how to use multi-modal ways to meet your needs as I help you inquire into what is happening for you. I am your companion, co-creating with you through felt sense, sound, imagery, movements & gestures, creating representations that will help us to understand what is happening for us as we navigate through our inner landscape.

If you are experiencing anxiety, fear, grief, sadness, a lack of confidence or self-worth, if you are going through big life changes with relationships, death, divorce, parenthood, and are needing support as you navigate big emotions, I am here to meet you in the middle, as your companion. I offer a safe and curious space where we can explore both practically and existentially, co-creating a rich tapestry of deeper knowing and wisdom of Self.

In learning to be comfortable with the uncomfortable, as your compassionate witness, together we will journey forward, learning more about who you are and how to navigate challenging situations to heal and reconnect to your vulnerable and authentic self.

Leslie at Home

After living in Australia for 20 years, I recently returned to Canada to spend time with my family. I am learning the art of 'empty nesting' as my adult children take on exploring the world. I have a profound desire for adventure and I recently finished walking the Camino Frances across Spain.

While at home, I enjoy the company of my Mini Australian Shepherd, Bella, my two cats, Prince and Zeus, and I enjoy the mountains, walks in nature, yoga and catching up with friends for coffee chats. My time in Australia informed me more of who I am and offered me the tools I needed to heal before coming back to Canada to work on some residual trauma from my childhood and divorce. Like my own Hero's Journey, I too walked a path of self discovery while slaying dragons, finally to come out on the other side to offer my gifts to my clients. I invite you to come walk with me.
