I attended a retreat with Wellness Defined and had an incredible experience. Leslie is an amazing instructor; she has such a warm heart and soul. I have tapped into myself- opened my heart, aligned my energy systems, raised my vibrations and stepped into my power. If you are looking for a place to heal, reflect, and become the best version of yourself I recommend Wellness Defined.

The Retreat Oct 13-16 2022 The sense of peace and belonging was incredible. It was a powerful unleashing, a release, a returning back home. The women were like family and immediately you felt like you were exactly where you were supposed to be. Leslie’s style of teaching is warm, encouraging as her words cut through like a knife and gets to the center of things. I believe whole heartedly that everyone came and received exactly what they needed to and also each individually gave the same. Thank you to Leslie for holding space for all of us to open our hearts with vulnerability and share with us wisdom and love. The yin was powerful and moving. The energy yoga made me weep as the emotion moved through my body and the meditation guided me to an inner serenity that I thought I had lost. Namaste

I recently attended Leslie’s Yoga and Meditation Retreat at The Sanctum Retreat Center in Caroline, Alberta. This was the 3rd retreat of Leslie’s I have attended and I continue to be impressed by my experiences. Leslie is knowledgeable, experienced and is a gifted facilitator. I think Leslie has the right balance of yoga, meditations, instructional time and down time for relaxing and getting the most out of her teachings. It’s a wonderful few days of getting off the busy and often stressful “treadmill of life” to go inward, grow as a person, experience human connections with like minded people and come away feeling rejuvenated and with a renewed purpose in life. Leslie delivers a wonderful and rich experience for anyone who is searching for something in life, even when you’re not sure what that may be. She’s a warm, talented and gifted Wellness Coach who is not afraid of showing her vulnerabilities which makes her retreats so relatable and enjoyable. Her retreats are a must try!!!

Connecting with my whole being has been my experience since Leslie has come into my life. I feel that I am living my life with purpose. Her retreats are my opportunity to recharge and I am always left feeling that I am empowered to live my best life when she shares her knowledge and tools in a atmosphere of ease and relaxation.

I went to the yoga/meditation retreat and got so much more then I just that. This was truly a memorable experience. I loved every part of the weekend. Leslie was so amazing at connecting and giving you just what you need at that time. I’ve now told many people in my life about how positive my experience was and highly recommended!

I was at Wellness Defined Yoga & Meditation Retreat with one of the best instructors I know of ( and I know quiet a few),. The retreat was in Caroline, Alberta, what an experience with 23 strong beautiful women. Leslie has the ability to make each one of us feel heard and special, we all left feeling supported and ready to face our fears with better communication skills. Leslie also teaches many classes on line, I have been with Leslie for about 15 years, she has always been there for me teaching me how to handle any situation that I was struggling with.

Leslie is a magnificent leader in her classes that she teaches. Over the years I have taken numerous workshops and classes with her. Leslie’s knowledge on the human body and healing is outstanding. Her queuing and teaching is above and beyond. I always feel welcomed and respected in her classes. I attended her retreat in October at the Sanctum Retreat in Caroline, Alberta. Leslie’s retreat was well organized, providing the perfect amount of self-reflection, teachings, and relaxation time. It was a welcomed getaway and well worth the investment. Bravo Leslie!

Leslie with Wellness Defined is amazing! If you’re looking for the tools to improve your quality of life there is no one better to help guide you. I recently attended a yoga & meditation retreat at Sanctum Retreat in Caroline, AB and have learned so many tools to take with me as I continue to navigate day to day life. I highly recommend Leslie for any of your life coaching, fitness, and yoga and meditation needs!!

Fills me with hope & inspiration

I have been a student of Leslie’s for many years. I’ve attended her Chakra workshops, yoga & fitness classes both in-person and on-line, personal training and a Week long retreat in Mexico.

In August I attended my second retreat with Leslie in Caroline, AB, post weekend experience fills me with hope & inspiration with a positive, physical outlook on life.

I would highly recommend any of Leslie’s teaching in any form that suits your lifestyle.

Yoga Meditation Retreat

I went on my first yoga meditation retreat with Leslie this summer. It’s something I was always shying away from. This time , it felt right, timing was right and I liked the fact we had a book to read and learn from during the sessions. The pace Leslie set was relaxing, the exercises and meditations felt great and I enjoyed the Sanctum location and the fellowship of the women. Highly recommend it – really helped me gain insight into my own ways of thinking and finding peace after the death of my mother.

Continual quest for healing

Leslie’s continual quest for healing and knowledge is incredible. I have now taken 3 different weekend retreats with her and each one has left me with lasting knowledge and change in different areas. My self awareness has truly grown from working with her. Leslie operates from her heart with a true passion for helping others on their own journey. Her authenticity shines through onto you like a bright warm light. Try out one of her many classes or a retreat. Your soul will thank you.

Energized!

My new profound knowledge of my whole body and my energy system was started at a Chakra Journey Weekend hosted by Leslie. It was a beautiful start to understanding the intelligence of my body And how my own energy plays a role in my well-being. This has been my greatest discovery. I am excited for the next opportunity to have this self-me time.

Thank you Leslie. With heart felt appreciation for my whole new outlook on myself

Keep me fit and positive

Leslie, you are one of the most knowledgeable and dedicated instructor’s I know. You are adept at working with all ages and capabilities of clients and always have time for each of us when we need it. You are very enthusiastic about your profession and always learning new ways to help us. You help us mentally as well as physically and your support has helped get me through this Covid time when I could not hug my grandchildren, family or friends. You are one of the most positive people I know and have helped keep me fit and positive through tough times. Thank you.
