Somatic Experiencing® Personal & Consultation Sessions
Somatic Experiencing® (SE) 💫 is a gentle, body-centered approach to safely release stress, shock, and trauma, helping your nervous system reset so you can feel calm, grounded, and fully alive.
Leslie has spent nearly two decades immersed in Ayurveda, yoga, breath-work, Pilates, and meditation—and she’s also a seasoned Somatic Practitioner.
Known for her empathy, humor, and intuition, she’s led retreats and workshops across California and has been featured in BBC News and USA Today on topics like stress and sleep.
For many years, Leslie served as a Tenured Professor in the Health and Kinesiology Department at Santa Monica College, where she helped students build strong bodies and calm, steady minds. Today, she brings that same clarity, compassion, and lighthearted encouragement to her somatic work—cheering clients and students on as they heal, grow, and reconnect with themselves.
✨ Leslie is a Personal Session Provider for the Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Institute (SETI) at the Beginning, Intermediate, and Advanced levels, and an Individual Consult Provider at the Beginning Level.
In addition to mentoring SE students, Leslie offers private somatic sessions for the public, working online with clients around the world to help them unwind old stress patterns, rebuild trust in their bodies, and feel more grounded and whole.
She speaks French and adores the people in her life, traveling, red wine, and every kind of dark chocolate.
