Always a nature child, Leslie has studied mysticism, astrology, and various approaches to natural healing for most of her life. One of her earliest memories as a child is sitting in an old walnut tree in her backyard, reading stories about fairies and ghosts aloud to the nature spirits.
Her herbalism path began in college and has evolved into a lifelong learning journey from folk medicine to energy healing, from astro-herbalism to plant spirit communication, with a deep fascination for the interweavings of the cosmos with life on Earth.
Leslie is passionate about helping others connect with their Divine wisdom, and reclaiming their wellness sovereignty through growing their own food and medicine. She currently lives with her family, two dogs, and two cats on a small organic farm in the
