Working with Lesley
Writing
My creative writing workshops offer new and experienced writers an opportunity to explore, play, and discover the unique direction of their own imaginations. I invite writers to work across genres—poetry, fiction and creative nonfiction—in a safe, engaging environment.
Mindfulness
My approach to facilitating mindfulness groups is deeply informed by my training in Mindful Self-Compassion and Trauma Sensitive Mindfulness. I have over 20 years experience as a dedicated practitioner, am a Certified Mindfulness Instructor and member of the International Mindfulness Teachers Association.
1-on-1
Whether you are working to complete a creative or professional project, or wanting to acquire skills that decrease stress and incline the mind toward joy and ease, working with me 1-on-1 will offer you the support and guidance you need to meet your goals.
“Lesley is a natural born teacher. Her approach is equal parts empathetic, comedic, expert, patient, trusting, focused and forgiving. I’ve watched her work with people of all ages, she is able to connect with anyone but has a particular magic with kids and teens. I’d pick her to see my kids through any challenge. She’s truly gifted.”
