My Journey

I found yoga in 2007 during a very tumultuous period of my life. To be honest, most of my early life felt tumultuous and overwhelming to me. My emotions more often than not felt bigger than my body. My attempts to manage this created years of pain and addiction and unhealthy coping strategies. In that very first yoga class I felt something pivotal shift inside of me, and after several months of practice I began to notice that things were changing. I felt different. I noticed I was calmer and more centered. My family noticed, too!! For the first time in my life, I was feeling grounded and experienced sustained optimism. My yoga practice became everything to me. It was, and still is to this day: Sanctuary. 

My Work

In addition to yoga, I further explored so many self healing practices that I lost count. I found methods that worked for me, and now also my clients. I specialize in personalized Shamanic and energy healing sessions with clients. I don't always like to use the word "healer" because I am not healing anyone. I consider myself more of an "Energy Facilitator". The work I do helps to release stagnated energy and blocked stories. Our history becomes our biology, and sometimes that history gets stuck in our cells. When that energy remains stuck for too long, dis-ease (disease) begins to manifest. I work intimately with my clients to release those limiting beliefs, stories and memories. 

"Leslie's healing work has been essential to my well-being and recovery. Two years ago I experienced a devastating loss, and its effects manifested in my body—I would get sick or hurt and never fully get better. Therapists, friends, family, doctors, and a yoga practice helped me manage my physical symptoms and weather the storms of depression, but I was reaching a breaking point—I was tired of managing and weathering, scared of being permanently altered for the worse, and searching for a practitioner who would help me explore what I needed to do to move forward. 

I added Leslie's reflexology and reiki work into my self-care routine, and after I single session I felt something within me shift. I started sleeping better, having less nightmares, going outside more, and thinking critically about possible mental and emotional motivations for getting, and staying, sick. 

Leslie infuses eastern healing and intuitive work with frankness, candor, and humor. She is nurturing but not enabling. Through her bodywork she'll lull you into a state of receptivity and then drop a truth bomb that makes you wonder if she's a mind-reader, or she'll volley a question that will reverberate around your head until you return an honest answer.

I'm now six sessions in and well on my way to being a whole and lively person again. I was ready to be done with a long, dark chapter, and Leslie's healing work is helping me turn the final pages".

"Over the last several years I have had the opportunity to visit Leslie's home where I received treatments for various issues stemming from arthritis in my hands. As a part time professional musician my hands are very important. Leslie used several of her techniques during our sessions ranging from Reiki to Reflexology.. The first session we 'got to know each other', and I scheduled two more visits. After the second visit I realized the discomfort in my hands had diminished - and one week later I came back and realized full motion and zero pain in my hands. This condition remained with me for the last five or more years. Leslie also used a frequency matt during our sessions (if that's what it's called) and I felt comfort and relief from overall anxiety and stress that was prevalent in my life at the time. While it helped that I had known Leslie for many years prior to taking treatment from her, I heartily recommend her based on the work she did with me. She's caring and engaged with her clients, and I would expect others would share a similar story".

"I have been seeing Leslie for some years now. The results are always mind blowing. Leslie saw me through multiple injuries, surgeries, migraines, sinus pain, congestion, trouble sleeping, acute pain, chronic pain, lots of stress, grief and depression. Few examples: after my knee surgery I had a pinched nerve and acute in my hip, I couldn’t raise my leg and every movement hurt. My pain level was at 9-10 prior to my session, after we were done I felt an instant relief, the pain was practically gone and I could freely move my leg. The pain was completely gone later on that day and never returned. I have pain in my thoracic spine due to mild scoliosis, it flares up from time to time, two month ago, Leslie worked on my back and up until this day I have zero pain. I sleep better, I breathe better, I feel more grounded, calm and overall great. 

I had surgeries on both of my knees and ended up with lots of scar tissue, tightness and pain, after sessions I get a lot of relief and mobility in both of my knees".

"As a woman of a certain age, I am able to look back on decades of learning and growth, professional knowledge and skill building, and experiences with extraordinary people who change lives. My friend and teacher, Leslie Whitecrow, stands alone. She is one of the most inspiring people I have ever met and been blessed to work with. I have practiced yoga all of my adult life and Leslie is the first instructor who has shown me what yoga truly is: a personal journey of discovery and healing, movement that is appropriate for my body, and an invitation that is always present to delve deeply and ask myself important questions…and then listen for the answer. When I am with Leslie, I believe in myself and I leave her classes calmer, happier and healthier, and grateful beyond words.

When I think of Leslie, a simple acronym comes to mind:

GIFT: Leslie is Generous; Inspiring; encourages Faith in oneself; and is a Teacher, teaching who who she is (the only true way to teach)".

"Leslie was my mentor during teacher training. She is a transparent teacher who has nothing to hide and has practically been through it all, taking her life experiences and transforming them into effective teaching and healing work. She listens, she cares and she knows. She’s already been where you are right now and she knows. She is deeply intuitive and is meant for the teaching and healing work she offers. Leslie was a large part of my deepest transformational year and I am grateful to her and her work".

Leslie F.

"Leslie’s work is healing on all levels – feet, body, mind and spirit, plus it just plain old feels really good and is really relaxing.

The first time I went for reflexology with Leslie, nearly 3years ago in Lynnwood , it was purely for fun — thinking that an hour’s foot rub would be pretty nice. I was amazed to find that the experience touched me on many levels. After my first few healing sessions I didn’t realize that I had been holding on to unprocessed feelings. That was the first time that Leslie's work helped to remove an emotional block that I wasn’t even aware that I was carrying. I think the greatest benefit for me has been my increased clarity, peace of mind and heart. 

Leslie brings a level of professionalism to her work blended with a caring and nurturing attitude which make her part of a new level of health practitioner. I am grateful for the opportunity to have benefited from her skill. Thank you!"

"I have a history of trauma and suffer from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). In therapy, I learned that the two of the most effective treatments for PSTD and are yoga and acupuncture. In my experience, yoga has been the most effective therapy. Leslie Whitecrow drew me into her yoga classes because she is one of the few teachers who consistently pulls ALL EIGHT LIMBS OF YOGA into her teaching. She applies a rigorous discipline to her own practice, and it shows up in WHAT and HOW she teaches. I really need that discipline to heal and stay healthy in my mind, body, and spirit. As such, I also sought out Leslie for personalized healing work. Her Reiki, Acutonics, and Shamanic healing have been more transformative for me than any of the other energy work I have experienced – and more impactful and lasting than acupuncture. Her Mudra workshops for Depression and Suicide also gave me actual tools I can use at home when the energy gets stuck. I am deeply grateful for all she does for our community."

 "Leslie's mentoring has been essential and pivotal in my life. If it wasn't for Leslie's help, I wouldn't be where I am today. She has such an insightful talent for diving to the core of the issue! Leslie has an ability to precisely pinpoint right where I need to work! She would not call herself a therapist, but to me, she is the best therapist I have ever worked with".

"I was fortunate to attend a yoga class Leslie was teaching. She has a challenging but joyful teaching style but her true talent lies with healing. 

She has a wonderful ability to intuit what is happening and uses several modalities in her healing sessions. She is open, honest and gently coaxes you to a more balanced state.

I highly recommend both her yoga class and her healing sessions!!"

Karen U.

"I have had the wonderful opportunity to have several sessions with Leslie. I should admit that she is my sister, and that becomes important here because of our ability to have "shared visions" during session. In fact, the last session we both saw our deceased brother's beautiful smile collectively. We have always been connected on that higher plane, but her YEARS of study, developing her skills and talent allowed this greater connection to happen. Not only do her sessions help with overall feelings of well-being on a spiritual level, they help with my advanced and acutely painful arthritis. Each and every session provides me with tremendous relief. Her Biomat is a treat in and of itself! I will not even begin to attempt to explain the science behind her work, but I can attest to the relief I feel after each session. You will not be disappointed!"

For years I overlooked symptoms that I would later find out would be mental and physical fatigue. Recently I found my tipping point, as I was unable to control nor withstand my anxiety. A friend suggested I reach out to an Energy Healer and I was given Leslie's name. Although I was vaguely familiar with what energy healing is, I wasn't too familiar with the process. After meeting with Leslie only once, I quickly began to understand that what it takes to be healed exists in us already, sometimes we just need someone to help us realize it. I possessed all the tools, Leslie just opened the doors, showed me where the tools were, and how to use them. My second meeting with Leslie was one of the most emotional experiences of my life. Whether familiar or unfamiliar with the type of healing, I whole-heartedly would recommend Leslie to anyone who is struggling to manage what life throws at you. Even if it's just a simple tune-up, Leslie's gifts with help you through."

"I came to Leslie for help with a stubborn, long-term issue in my hips that couldn't be blamed on an injury or eased away with regular yoga. Leslie instantly zeroed in on the emotional basis for this issue and has a wealth of therapeutic techniques that she mixed together in my single session. I was completely new to any sort of energy work and she made me feel safe and like an equal participant in the process. She is extremely well-studied and her space is very cozy and comforting. A week later I am still completely free of symptoms that plagued me for the last five years, and noticed other subtle changes like waking up more easily and a new clarity to my eyes. For me it was really an instant fix. Leslie's approach works because she is very in tune with her clients, does not make them feel judged and "walks with them" on the journey. Even though I had such awesome results I plan to come back for regular "tune-ups" when I get the chance. "
