Meet Leslie
At 15 years old, my high school softball coach told me I was too fat to play varsity softball.
A few days later, another girl told me I was too fat to hang out with on the weekends.
And from that moment on, I spent years trying to prove my worth through discipline.
Dieting.
Over-exercising.
Pushing through pain.
People pleasing.
Overriding my body.
Holding everything together no matter what it cost me.
I became what many women strive to be:
disciplined,
high functioning,
consistent.
But the truth is… the consistency I built came from survival.
From fear.
From control.
From believing my body only deserved love if I could force it into being smaller, calmer, prettier, more productive, and more acceptable.
So for years, I pushed harder.
I excessively exercised for hours a day.
Tried every diet.
Ignored my body constantly.
And became incredibly disconnected from myself in the process.
Eventually, my body stopped cooperating.
I ended up with broken bones, a back infection in my spine, weight struggles, anxiety, exhaustion, and a nervous system that no longer knew how to rest.
And honestly?
That changed everything.
Because I realized I didn’t need more discipline.
I needed a different relationship with myself.
Now, after 16+ years as a registered dietitian, personal trainer, and nervous system practitioner, I help high-functioning midlife women stop fighting themselves long enough to finally create consistency in a way their body can actually maintain.
Because most women already know how to push.
What they don’t know is how to feel supported enough to stop disappearing on themselves.
My work combines nervous system regulation, nutrition, body partnership, emotional support, and sustainable health practices to help women create results without burnout, punishment, or self-abandonment.
Yes, we care about results here.
We just don’t believe results should cost you your peace anymore.
This is a place where women reconnect to their bodies long enough to feel grounded, supported, and like themselves again.
And honestly?
I’m very loving…
but if you hire me,
I’m gonna need you to stop disappearing every time your body asks for support. 💗
