Change your Energy and Change your Life!
The greatest freedom you can ever give yourself is to be unapologetically you.
Personal freedom is the ability to be fully present in the here and now without being burdened by the past or future. And what better or easier way to accomplish this than to remove the excess emotional baggage and imbalances that are in the way?
Here's what clients are saying:
I have had several sessions with Leslie, and I recommend working with her. The body-mind healing sessions were deeply sacred and transformative experiences. From the very beginning, I felt held in space of safety, compassion, and divine presence. The practitioner worked with such intuition and reverence that my body naturally began to soften, release, and trust. Long-held pain and trauma that I had been carrying for several years gently surfaced and dissolved without force or overwhelm. I could feel energy moving through my body, restoring balance where there had been tension and heaviness. The physical relief was profound, but the emotional healing went even deeper. I left the sessions feeling lighter, grounded and reconnected to my true self, and at peace in my body and spirit. This work is not just healing; it is soul-level medicine. I am deeply grateful and wholeheartedly recommend this experience to anyone seeking relief from pain, trauma healing and spiritual renewal. Thank you so much Leslie.

Leslie's kindness, empathy and expert healing skills have supported me through a massive life shift. The level of pressure, stress and trauma that hit my nervous system all at once felt unbearable. She expertly worked with the many layers of trauma that I was experiencing. I have recommended her to family, friends and have also utilized her valuable services for my pets. I am more at ease, peaceful and grounded in my life. - MW, Denmark
I just wanted to let you know that I woke up this morning and the pain in my shoulder is down to about a one. I have full range of motion. I also woke up with none of the feeling of overwhelm I’ve been having upon waking up for quite some time. I’m truly amazed by this and can’t wait to keep doing this work with you. Thank you so much!

I have had Body Code sessions with several different practitioners in the past and it has always caused significant shifts…. but never before has it had the amount of impact that Leslie's unique blend of intuition and mastery of this technique brought me. Her sessions are very in-depth, and she spends whatever time is necessary to uncover blockages and misalignments in our field of consciousness… and are the actual root cause of many patterns that do not serve us in adulthood. …she identified an early situation in my life which I had remembered from an intellectual place but had dismissed… that has been a significant problem for me with relationships! This has been very, very impactful for me and is addressing something that I've been aware of for a very long time but have not been able to get to in order to heal before now. Thank you, Leslie! I highly, highly recommendyour work! -Dr. KR, MA

What is The Emotion & Body Code?
Feeling Anxious or Stressed? Got Aches and Pains?
Find Relief Fast with the Codes!
The Codes are a holistic healing modality developed by Dr. Bradley Nelson that focuses on identifying and releasing
trapped emotional energy and imbalances in the body and energy field. This technique employs muscle testing to communicate with the subconscious mind to pinpoint the energetic root of emotional and physical challenges and patterns. By neutralizing these energies practitioners are able to restore balance to the body and mind, promoting physical, and emotional well-being
Trapped emotions can cause a variety of physical and emotional issues. They can block people from feeling love and happiness, and can make them feel disconnected from others. They can contribute to us feeling "stuck", and can hold us back from achieving our personal and professional goals.
Imbalances in the body and energy field can effect one's energy level and overall emotional and physical well being and can create the foundation for more serious illnesses, diseases, and mental health problems.
Because emotional baggage and imbalances are made of energy they exert an influence on the body's tissues. Releasing or realigning this energy makes conditions right for real and lasting change and healing because we are able to address them at the source. Physical discomfort and pain can be decreased or eliminated, acute and chronic illness can be managed more effectively, and recovery time can be reduced freeing us to live our lives without these energies standing in the way.

Healing the Emotion Body with
The Emotion & Body Code
It was Albert Einstein who once said, “everything is energy” – people, plants, rocks, even inanimate objects - all vibrating at different frequencies. Even the subatomic particles that are the building blocks of matter are energy, not actual particles'. In fact, Einstein's Theory of Relativity is based on this truth and the science of quantum physics. But for some reason this is difficult for most people to wrap their heads around. Even scientists have trouble “believing” this for a very simple reason - you can’t see energy. And in the western science model if you can’t see it, it doesn’t exist.
According to quantum physics, energy has no limits of space or time and can literally be altered or released with our intention. This is where the Emotion & Body Code come in and why it works at a distance no matter how far.
"The Body Keeps the Score" - Bessel Van der Kolk
Body-Focused "Somatic" Therapy vs Traditional Talk Therapy
You want to change but you can just feel that something is in the way. Years go by and we blame ourselves because no matter how hard we try, our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors remain the same. We read books, say affirmations, talk to our therapist and although we understand our issues, patterns, history and trauma, we still feel the same way inside, and change continues to be elusive.
The new paradigm for the field of psychology is that change and healing happen from the bottom up which means what the body learns, the psyche will follow. Simply put, we have to "feel it, to heal it" rather than suppress uncomfortable feelings in the body in order to let them go.
Asking our mind alone to solve our issues makes no sense because in many ways, our minds are responsible for creating them. Our conscious minds are only 10% of our actual intelligence while the other 90% is held in our bodies where our subconscious mind communicates with us through bodily sensations, gestures, and other physical expressions of our emotional state. These expressions point to the root cause of our issues which is why working with the body and the subconscious, not just our conscious minds, is so effective in creating change in our lives.

Reduce or eliminate symptoms of PTSD and Complex Trauma.
-
Develop ability to trust your inner knowing.
-
Enhance resilience and self-awareness.

Meet Leslie
Many of my clients come to me feeling hopeless after years of trying to resolve physical and/or emotional issues that seem to fall between the cracks of what is being offered in the world of therapy and bodywork. Talk therapy, though helpful, isn’t enough to get to the root of the problem where it is held – in the body, while body work and other physical approaches don’t address the emotional aspects contributing to them. This is why I created body-mind-energy therapy.
My own journey into the healing arts started when my then, 5 yr old son, began having seizures that were not responding to western medicine. I learned Reiki and discovered a whole world of alternative therapies including homeopathy and herbs to not only support my son’s wellbeing, but to use on the entire family.
This was a Godsend and ultimately stopped my son’s seizures and resolved several of my own chronic health issues as well. This made me want to bring healing to others, so I decided to attend massage school and opened, “In Good Hands Therapeutic Massage” in 2002 offering a wide range of approaches from deep tissue, to trigger point, craniosacral therapy, and more.
I had also been in and out of talk therapy for most of my life which always left me frustrated and with little change in my behaviors or how I felt inside. It wasn’t until I discovered a body-focused approach to therapy that I began to make progress. From there, I incorporated energy techniques and spiritual practices, that allowed me to truly heal on multiple levels.
After having been a massage therapist for many years, I had started to be able to “see” places in the body where emotional energy was held and decided to shift my focus from massage to body-mind-energy practices. I returned to school for my Master of Social Work degree but rather than go into mainstream therapy, I created Ladybug Body-Mind Healing so that I would have the strong educational foundation while offering many of the alternative body-mind-energy techniques that had helped me over the years.
I approach this work with reverence, compassion, and a determination to help people break free of what’s been holding them back, physically or emotionally. I am an ally, a coach, a somatic therapist, energy worker, spiritual guide, and detective of sorts, always looking for clues to crack the code of whatever issue is being addressed so clients can finally heal - body, mind, and spirit.
I love challenges and enjoy working with those with chronic illnesses or self-limiting patterns, childhood trauma, and with healers or anyone experiencing a spiritual crisis who may have had difficulty finding help from either mainstream therapists or holistic practitioners in the past.
I believe there’s a solution to every problem and that, with the right approach and guidance, we can attain the healing, peace, and wholeness we seek.
