Meet Leslie
NBC-HWC Health Coach, Usui Reiki Master, Massage Therapist, & Personal Trainer
Hi, I’m Leslie.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the sea - its depth, its rhythm, and the quiet strength it holds. My favorite creature, the sea turtle, has become a personal symbol of resilience and trust. Sea turtles travel long distances, guided by an inner compass, always returning home to the place where they began.
That’s how I see healing: a journey that asks you to trust yourself, return to your own wisdom, and move through the tides of life with patience and grace.
Rising Tides Wellness was born from my own seasons of transition. Like so many women, I’ve found myself navigating shifting roles, changing health, and the quiet question of who I was becoming. I wanted to create a space where women could be seen, supported, and guided as they rediscovered their vitality - a space that feels like coming home.
My Philosophy
Just as the rising tide lifts all boats, I believe in collective uplift. When one woman rises - in energy, in health, in confidence - she lifts her family, her community, and her world.
I’ve also come to understand that self-care and wellness are not destinations, but ongoing journeys that ebb and flow like the waves. Our energy shifts with the seasons of life and all they bring. True success is found in the small moments and personal victories we claim as our own. Along the way, acceptance, self-love, grace, and a growth mindset become the companions we invite to travel with us.
At Rising Tides Wellness, I combine functional wellness coaching, reiki-based energy healing, mindful movement, and therapeutic massage to address every layer of your experience - body, mind, and spirit. Whether you’re navigating burnout, in a life transition, perimenopause, menopause, or simply feeling disconnected from yourself, this is a place to pause, reset, and rise.
My background and approach
I bring together 35+ years of experience including as a health and wellness coach, licensed massage therapist, Reiki practitioner, personal trainer, and a fitness instructor. My approach is grounded in functional wellness, identifying and addressing root causes, not just symptoms, and tailored to the unique needs of each person I work with.
Clients often tell me they come in for the tools, but stay for the space to breathe, be heard, and be held with compassion. Every plan we create together is as unique as you are, combining practical strategies, hands-on healing, and soul-level support.
