Water is a medium strong to Leslie’s world. For years she taught water classes for infants and toddlers, as well as water movement and water aerobic classes to elders. She & her brother trained and competed at national & international levels in whitewater kayaking and she continues to be found in or on the water in all its forms whenever possible. It’s not surprising that Leslie developed a technique to utilize her love of water and its qualities in combination with the healing and balancing aspects of massage, range of motion and Reiki. HYDRO~KI® is a trademarked technique preformed in the water using the qualities of buoyancy, resistance and the water’s ability to be a conductor of energy.
Leslie is passionate about educating her clients so they are better equipped to maintain the improvements gained during sessions & trainings. The compliment of these modalities to therapeutic massage supports our body’s innate wisdom to heal. This multilayered approach nutures on all levels and enhances outcomes.

An added message from Leslie ~
So much in our world aims at setting us on a stage of fear. Being fearful does nothing to reduce the blatant & subtle imbalances in our world— instead, staying in fear drops our body’s defenses, compromises our body’s abilities and turns responses into a frame of reaction and protectiveness. Allowing though, fear, to be a momentary flag that allows us to shift to awareness that something is needed. Awareness to consider self, others, choices, is a skill and tool that sets the body & mind up to move forward with attention, compassion and action (imua).
Releasing and resting from the effects of the stressors in our days is also a tool and takes skills we all can access and aquire. Reiki, Massage, Yoga, Meditation, playing in the woods, being in the water, connecting with others, sharing time with animals, accessing the people, places and activities that allow the breath to mist into the corners of our being and open the gates of your body’s potential could be available to all of us.
Working towards maintaining an active, enriched and compassionate life means we have the internal & physical resources to support the needs in our lives and more fully be there for others.
~ remember to keep enough humor in your days to spark your fires ~
The whole world is on a shifting stage …. there is opportunity for world wide change in how we use the Earth’s resources, how we engage with each other and move ourselves towards more compassionate, healthy, sustainable lifestyles. I encourage all of US to do all we can to aid in this shift.
May you dance with the light within you, and may peace and grace fill your heart.
