Hi, I’m Leslie!
If you’re a busy woman who’s really tired of the stress eating + restrictive diet routine, we already have something in common.
12 years ago: I was working a demanding job, traveling every week, eating fast food everyday.
A really common recipe for feeling like complete crap. My energy was low and my frustration was high, but as a busy woman juggling a million to-do’s, who has time to prioritize packing healthy lunches or getting to the gym after 12 grueling hours of work?
I was an expert at powering through the discomfort and shoving my misery to the back of my mind.
Until, health and fertility issues forced me to face all the deeply rooted habits and tiny daily decisions I’d been avoiding all my life.
I started with diets, of course, but too many failed attempts left me feeling even worse than before.
Eventually, I learned that I needed to first explore WHY I was turning to food for all of life's challenges. I found meditation and hypnosis, & they saved my life.
Now, I help other women who are juggling a lot of competing priorities achieve and maintain the same health goals I desperately craved for years.
From unsure to unshakeable.
01
Food as a Lifestyle.
Growing up, my family used food for everything - boredom, stress, celebrations, you name it. As a kid, life was delicious. By college, I realized I had no idea what a healthy relationship with food even looked like.
03
Getting Curious. Getting Upset.
Or maybe I could lose weight if I just worked hard enough? I tried every diet, seriously all of them, and started treating carbs like a contagious disease. Eventually, I always caved which made me feel like a hopeless failure, perpetually starting over Monday morning.
02
The Constantly Hungry Woman.
By my first job, emotional eating was part of my identity. Friends even joked about the fact that I seemed to be endlessly hungry, and I started to believe them.
04
Turning Point.
I saw a hypnotherapist while experiencing fertility issues. For the first time in my life, I was beginning to understand who I was on a subconscious level and how our physical behavior is based in our brain. I learned why I turned to food so automatically, and why that ingrained behavior wasn’t actually permanent.
05
A Whole New World.
Once I had the tools to tackle my internal world and move through stress and sadness without food, building consistent health habits became so. much. easier. I was in a place where I truly wanted to care for my body. I fell in love with exercise for joy, not punishment. I was able to maintain health habits that felt nourishing, not restricting. I had two beautiful children that bring me endless joy . . .
