Meet Leslie: Your No-Nonsense, Light-Finding, Energy-Healing Guide

Hi! I’m Leslie…

I am a Reiki Master/Teacher, Intuitive Guide, and Spiritual Mentor, with over 15 years of experience in Reiki and various energetic and spiritual healing modalities. My focus is on making mystical and spiritual concepts accessible and practical for everyone. BUT….

If you’re looking for a Reiki practitioner who speaks in whispers, floats around in a robe, and only says things like “love and light” while ignoring the real sh*t—I’m not your person.

But if you want real healing, real transformation, for real people then, welcome. You’ve found your guide. (PS I’m terribly poor at censoring my F* bombs so if that offends then you may be barking up the wrong Reiki tree ;-)

I love music (loud). I love singing (terribly, but with passion and only in the car because no one else should have to suffer). I know I’m sarcastic, I think I’m funny, and I’m fully aware that life is messy, healing isn’t linear, and spirituality doesn’t have to be all airy-fairy (but, I don’t shy away from the woo-woo, either)!

I don’t do toxic positivity. I don’t bypass the hard stuff. I’ve been through the trenches, done the deep work, and come out on the other side—fully human, fully flawed, and IMHO, pretty effing awesome!

And that’s what I help my clients do too.

I see the inner light in everyone, even when they can’t see it in themselves. My work is deeply spiritual, but not in the usual crystals-and-goop kind of way (actually, I DO love crystals and rocks and shells- you should see my collection!) I help people remember who the hell they are—not by sugarcoating their struggles, but by guiding them through real healing, with honesty, humor, and zero pretension.

I don’t claim to have all the answers, and I sure as hell don’t walk on water. But I do know, deep in my bones, that I’m here to help people see their own light and worth—because once you do, everything shifts!

Soooo, if you’re looking for a grounded, no-fluff approach to energy work—and maybe a few laughs along the way—I’d love to connect. You can book a Reiki session online, sign up for a fun (and sometimes pretty crazy on the mark) oracle card reading or just join one of my Yoga Nidra + Reiki Restshops….come as you are - everyone is welcome!

My "Resume"

Reiki Master/Teacher: Practicing Reiki since 2010, attuned as a Reiki Master/Teacher in 2012. I follow the Usui Shiki Ryoho tradition, with a lineage traced directly to Hawayo Takata Sensei.

Professional Memberships: Proud member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals and the Northwest Reiki Association, upholding my ethical standards and practices.

Certified Life Coach: My approach blends formal training with real-world experience and deep spiritual studies, particularly A Course in Miracles. More than just a certification, I bring intuitive insight and practical wisdom to my work.

Hobbies: When I’m not guiding clients through Reiki and energy healing, you’ll often find me behind a camera, capturing the beauty of the world around me. Photography is one of my passions—just like energy work, it’s about seeing things in a new light. Many of the images on this site are my own, a little glimpse into the way I see and connect with the world.
