Leslie is a professional certified equine and canine bodywork practitioner specializing in restoring whole body balance and muscle symmetry. She is passionate about relieving neurological and mobility dysfunctions in order to restore functional patterns of movement and stabilization in horses and dogs.

Leslie is highly effective in a broad spectrum of bodywork techniques and therefore very flexible and versatile in how she approaches her work. She easily adjusts her techniques to meet the needs of each individual horse or dog, and has a genuine interest in their development and well being.
