Inquiry Meditation: The Ultimate Somatic Healing!
Well, hello! So glad you made it here--your joy awaits!
I’m Leslie, your hostess-with-the-mostest pleasure teacher and creator of Inquiry Meditation, the extraordinary somatic pleasure practice that alchemizes even the deepest and darkest pain into joyous liberation.
I want to begin by assuring you that I will not solve the painful problem that has brought you here--wouldn’t dream of doing that to you!
For there is a very special integrity to your pain, so very much perfection in it.
Infinitely more effective than ridding you of the problem that has so graciously brought up this pain for you: we will be kind to the problem. We will take its coat and offer it juice and thank it for its most elegant arrival.
Yes, you are indeed reading correctly, and because we want all the smoke and ALL the glory, too, we’ll go even further.
We will marvel at your pain, at its perfect integrity. We will be very gentle with it. And in the light of our pleasure and gentleness, right there during your IM Experience: a bit of your pain will transmute into joy. Your pain will transmute, and it will reveal its conscious form, and that conscious form is nothing less than pure joy.
Can you feel the smile lifting at the edges your nervous system? Perhaps some curious butterflies stirring?
Fuck yeah, you can! That's what happens when truly magical shit is afoot!
Settle into this sweet place, my friend! Poke about, grab your free audio meditation, read my thoroughly lit blog. If all passes the vibe check, perhaps you'll join the many Inquiry Meditators who are forever changed by Inquiry Meditation.
Your life is meant to feel good.
Some Inquiry Meditators want to improve their work performance. Some want to maintain optimal mental wellbeing. Some want an answer about specific life content (a relationship, health, finances, etc). Some want to do the deep, deep shadow work of healing emotional triggers, trauma, and childhood wounds. Some simply want to feel less anxious.
IM seamlessly and lovingly meets all of these meditators--many of whom fit multiple categories!--exactly where, and as, he/she/they are.
This is because the modality works at the paradoxically impersonal and ultra-personal level of bodily sensation: at the level of energy.
It is at the energetic level that we can drop our stories to be with the sensation that locks them in place.
It is at the energetic level that the sensation in all of life’s upsets, problems, and pain--work-related or personal, shallow or trauma-degree profound--can be transmuted into pleasure energy that fuels and frees us. (And pleasure fuel--"feel good" fuel--is clean fuel. I think it's the cleanest fuel there is.)
And session by session, bit by bit: we can realize evermore felt joy, freedom, and yes, pleasure.

"Leslie is magic. Truly. Working on my relationship with myself, healing my inner critic, and regulating my emotions when distressed has been a long journey. I really mean it when I say that nothing has ever felt as impactful in healing my relationship with myself as my work with Leslie.
She has a way of getting me to see my inner parts, and growing a relationship with them. If you are familiar with internal family systems psychotherapy, Leslie is most definitely an IFS coach - even though she doesn't call herself that! Her intuition and wisdom radiates out and has helped me find my own intuition and wisdom in my body. I am so grateful."
