Credentials ~ Bachelor in Psychology ~ NASM Certified ~ Specializes in Strength and resistance training, toning and weight loss

Leslie earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from UNC Asheville. Proudly, as of 2008, she was a stage 3 breast cancer survivor. Cancer taught her to appreciate each day and to realize nothing should be taken for granted. After a spinal fracture with partial paralysis and following a full recovery, serious hiking for fitness was the beginning of her journey toward a healthier lifestyle. A simple walk in the woods became her comfort during tough times. Simple walks soon became more focused as she challenged herself to do more and change her mind and body. She lost over fifty pounds and gained a strong heart and lungs to push her up and over the hills of Western North Carolina. Leslie retired from the North Carolina school system. She received her personal training certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine. She has a desire to help instruct, guide and motivate people who desire a positive lifestyle change. Leslie’s personal transformation has given her the ability to connect with people on a meaningful level. She loves sharing a positive outlook with people of similar interests and life goals.
