Leslie is a exceptional human being and a highly gifted life, spiritual and fitness coach. She’s also an excellent yoga instructor. Wellness Defined is the place to go if you’re looking to improve your health and well-being. If you’re looking to transform your life then I highly recommend seeing Leslie. She’s compassionate, talented, kind, caring and incredibly wise. Leslie puts her whole heart into everything she does and it shows. She’s a healer, a bright light and an inspiration. Thank you Leslie for all you do. You’re one of this worlds great earth angels.

I have had a gym membership for years prior to the pandemic. Leslie, who taught there, was one of the premier trainers and her classes were always at capacity. Although I loved the challenge of in-person workouts and the camaraderie, I developed allergies to the dust, perfume and essential oils. This was so severe that I had to take antihistamines in order to work out safely.
When the pandemic abruptly halted my gym membership, I was already questioning whether or not I could continue. Leslie's virtual workouts are a game changer!
I can now safely workout in my own home, free from environmental allergens, and at my own convenience. In fact, I work out more often because she offers flexibility in working out live, in the mornings, or later in the day with the taped sessions. Also, no more commuting back and forth to the gym, in rainy or icy/snowy conditions, and I save even more time.
Since joining Leslie's virtual workouts and yoga classes, I feel more relaxed, can sleep better and have lost the weight gained during the first few months of the pandemic. I do not plan to go back into a gym now that restrictions are lifting; this is my gym.

I have known Leslie as a fabulous yoga instructor for the past few years. When she decided to open Wellness Defined I jumped at the chance to do her classes from home. 6 months later I now find myself also doing every single fitness class, everyday of the week! Leslie's detailed instructions and online coaching have helped me ensure that my alignment is correct during weights, and that I have options for the level of intensity I give during each class. I was fairly resistant to doing the fitness classes but i decided one day, 2 months ago, to give it a week. Do every class for one week and see how it goes. As I said here I am now, doing every single class and I believe my new new favorite class is weights. I have found myself becoming more fit (thanks to cardio) and more toned (thanks to weights, etc.). If you're hesitant to get involved, as I was, I suggest that you give her classes a go. The excellent skill teaching, the incredible encouragement, the positive energy and the fun that Leslie brings to each class is exactly what you need. You may end up surprising yourself as much as I did.

Never before have I been able to make so many positive changes in my life and it is all thanks to Leslie and her well rounded practice. Not only does she offer a wide range of class types, including fitness, different styles of yoga and very informative and thoughtful personal development classes (and more!) she also provides life coaching sessions that fit your life and schedule. Her classes give you an opportunity to build yourself so that you can grow mentally, physically, emotional and spiritually by teaching you the necessary skills to do so. Her genuineness and passion is recognized right away and she continues to support, care and commits to helping you become the best version of yourself. Leslie also creates a safe, non-judgmental space so you always feel comfortable and welcomed. She is an incredible individual with so much to offer and I highly recommend her.

Leslie’s programs are amazing! Not only do they bring a fresh outlook on healing, as a person Leslie is unlike anyone I have ever met. She is very compassionate, extremely dedicated, and brings a mountain of information to the program. She honours the person as a whole and understands that everything is connected physically, mentally, and spiritually. Her program is extremely varied, including physical workouts, yoga, meditation, reiki, and spiritual wellness. Her life coaching is beyond anything I have ever experienced, providing unconditional support and kindness. I have struggled with anxiety throughout my entire life, even going on long-term medication, but through Leslie’s programs, I was able to go off my medications. She made me believe in myself again and showed me just what I am capable of.  I highly recommend everything Leslie has to offer through wellness defined.  She truly is a gem who creates an atmosphere of support, inspiration and calm amongst the chaos!
