Hey, I'm Leslie
I work with...
Professional moms eager to step beyond their comfort zones into the space where fear and courage meet. I provide them tools to face discomfort head-on and make courageous decisions, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.
I challenge the status quo so that people live their ordinary life in an extraordinary way.
My deepest belief
Death is one of our greatest teachers. It unveils the fragility and impermanence of life, urging us to align with our true selves while striving to make a meaningful impact.
Through my own intimate journey with death, I have learned that our lives are about more than just our actions. True inner peace emerges when we cultivate a state of being rather than just doing, accompanied by a deep understanding of what we are genuinely here to offer.
A little bit about me ...
I live in Calgary, Alberta, with my husband, dog, and cat. Combined, we have five young adult children who are all pursuing their next life adventures.
I’m obsessed with tennis! I picked it up at age 53, and while it’s a challenging sport to learn, it’s one of the most rewarding pursuits I've ever undertaken.
I also LOVE Pilates and am on a mission to complete 250 classes by the end of this year!
I am a daughter, sister, mother and friend. I am a mother of four, yet only 3 walk the earth. I was a stay-at-home mom, I am now a working mom. I have been married, divorced, remarried, then a widow. I have now found the love of my life. I have aging parents and children still at home.
I am a student, and I am a teacher. I have had many roles. I have had many transitions.
I bring all of this and more to my work in serving others. Leslie
