The best money spent on myself. I enjoyed being at the renewal centre with this group of special souls immensely. I connected with myself again and found some essential healing and knowledge on what is truly important. I would love to continue my learning journey to better myself by taking in / learning anything that Leslie shares. Thank you so much to you Leslie for this amazing 4 days. Namaste

I had the most wonderful experience at Leslie's Silent Yoga and Meditation retreat. It was both relaxing and inspiring. I also connected with some wonderful people, in spite of not being able to talk to them (most of the time). I would definitely attend one of Leslie's retreats again.

I am 70 something with high praise for two retreat experiences that I have had with Leslie in the past year. She shares so much of her vast training knowledge each time. She keeps current in many modalities. I have learned a great deal about the body and have benefited from the energy and peace in her sessions. Her almost daily newsletter of encouragement and the variety of her weekly scheduled sessions are interesting. Treat yourself. I recommend you check “Wellness Defined” to explore for yourself what Leslie has to offer you. ((:

I just attended the most wonderful retreat led by Leslie McKenzie at Providence Renewal Centre in south Edmonton. This was a yoga and meditation retreat related to the 7 chakras and was it ever a treat! I learned so much about the chakras and the Four Chambers of the Higher Heart. We also walked the Labyrinth, chanted, and were treated to a sound bath with singing bowls. Leslie is creative, knowledgeable, imaginative, compassionate, and kind. If you've never attended one of Leslie's retreats, workshops, fitness classes, or professional development courses, you owe it to yourself to check out her website. You'll be so glad you did!

I feel so blessed having had the opportunity to participate in a weekend retreat of healing and forgiveness with Leslie. Her exceptional guidance and instruction provided a clear path for tapping into our higher heart where pure love heals all. I highly recommend Wellness Defined for anyone who needs to let go of internal blockages and find true happiness by looking at things through the eyes and heart of loving kindness. 🌈🙏🏻

I have been doing my routine exercises with Leslie for many years now. She has an easy way to explain every step and keep the class fun and encouraging to keep going. All her classes are set up to guide any age group to reach optimum health benefits. The results physically and mentally are amazing. I look forward to her live classes and it’s great to have the flexibility to access the recordings any time I want. I’m very grateful to have her as a coach and guide to better health. Thank you Leslie❣️

I have been working with Leslie at Wellness Defined for several years now and I love that I can go into her library and pick a class to do at home. What I love about the classes I take are that she gears classes for all fitness levels and ages. I have noticed health benefits such as better sleep, muscle strength, flexibility and endurance which are all very important the closer I get to 60! I have recommended fitness classes to friends and family and I have completed several of the Personal Development courses. I highly recommend Wellness Defined!!

Working with Leslie has improved my life immensely by getting rid of pains that the medical community had given up on resolving. She has helped me learn to see life in a way that has reduced my stress and increased my positive outlook. My anxiety is down and I am learning different tools and skills to help me when life throws curve balls my way. I have never felt better and am so grateful for her teachings, incredible insights, and patient guidance.

I can’t thank you enough. I’ve learned a lot from your classes, workshops, retreats and personal counselling. I’ve been to at least half a dozen counsellors and none of them hold a candle to you. Your ability to listen and provide guidance is outstanding. You’ve identified feelings in me that I sensed but was unable to name. You are amazing.

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.

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 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.

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.
