Leslie is a transformational midwife, folk herbalist, healer and ceremonialist that brings grounded and realistic spirituality into all of her work. In each session you can expect a combination of somatics, herbalism, shamanism, and intuitive energy work as she uniquely weaves over 20 years of experience of healing arts tailored to your needs. Through her knowledge of how the body holds energy and creates blockages she identifies where the blockage is and creates the space for release.

She listens deeply to you and your body and is devoted to always working within the capacity of your nervous system. Leslie is a midwife no longer attending births, having caught over 500 babies. She brings this quality of space holding, safety and care into all of her work.

She loves working with people who feel stuck and/or in transition for various reasons, who are in a healing crisis or deep on a healing journey and need extra support to gain perspective and depth. She has a gentle way of bringing the unconscious to the conscious so that her clients can gain more insight into what is happening and move towards wholeness. She brings a multidimensional awareness to her work, meaning she looks beyond the here and now to see the threads of experience that extend to past lives and ancestral influences.

She loves helping people with cord cutting/tending, personal boundaries, sovereignty issues and energetic attachments. The work closest to her heart is supporting women on their motherhood journeys, as the Rite of Passage into motherhood is fertile ground for healing and growth. She also offers spiritual and life mentoring, doula mentoring, and mentoring to other space holders looking to deepen and grow their intuitive capacities.

Melanie is passionate about helping her patients feel a sense of ease, comfort and rejuvenation in the body and mind. Through acupuncture and massage, her goal is to support the body’s innate healing capacity. She believes that harmony between our physical, mental/emotional and spiritual selves is pivotal towards holistic health. Melanie has personally experienced, and has worked with many clients who have expressed dis~ease (ie. chronic low back pain, migraines, menstrual difficulties, digestive discomfort, etc) when one of these aspects is out of alignment.

She aims to facilitate systemic balancing with the aid of acupuncture, cupping, massage, diet therapy and rehabilitative exercises. By addressing the underlying causes of disease (not just an isolated set of symptoms), Melanie takes an individualistic ‘whole-person’ approach to healing. This helps in both prevention and management of symptoms, and allows you feel the changes within your system.

Through acupuncture, Melanie guides ‘qi’ to replenish energy, clear stagnation, reduce pain and gain optimal function. Through massage, her aim is to create embodiment and a sense of being held, so that your intelligent nervous system can unwind and resource. Creating a safe container where you are involved in the treatment plan and process is important to her, as is patient education and functional awareness. Melanie wants you to feel empowered and included in your healing journey.

Along with being an RMT and R.Ac, she practices Somatics, Yoga and Qi Gong. She is an avid adventurer and lover of movement. You will find her in the mountains hiking and snowboarding, at sea surfing, enjoying river swims, or at home gardening, cooking, reading, dancing & singing.

Melanie is a believer that we all deserve to feel at home in our bodies and in our lives. ‘Coming home’ to yourself can create a sense of wellbeing and awareness that contributes to leading an aligned, peaceful life. This is an ongoing process through life’s twists and turns, and she is here to support you on your journey of wellbeing.

Melanie is grateful to continue to explore and share the ancient art/science of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which allows us to further understand the mind-body-spirit connection.
