The Wellness Way – Lake Mary

Dr. Leslie was born and raised in Brooksville, Florida. She stayed in Florida for her undergraduate studies where she attended University of Central Florida. She received multiple degrees: Bachelors of business administration with a focus of Finance and Marketing-sales track. She was then recruited to be a district sales manager for Frito-Lay North America. She stayed there for 3 years before leaving to go back to school for her bachelors of science with a focus of biology. Once she was done with that degree she returned to the healthcare field as a Licensed Optician. She remained in the optical field until 2019. Leslie was in a severe car accident where she experienced 18 months of chiropractic treatment and therapies to return back to health. While getting treated she shadowed the chiropractor and decided to apply to Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida. While attending Palmer, Dr. Patrick and team came to speak about The Wellness Way during her 8th quarter of school. From there she enrolled in the student online university to learn more about the approach. She then chose to travel to Green Bay for her last quarter to shadow the clinic there, and the clinic in Iron Mountain Michigan where she spent time learning all she could and finding the Gonstead technique. This technique allowed her to truly be specific and fall in love with chiropractic care and The Wellness Way. She got to work closely with Dr. Laura during her preceptor and with testing and pin pointing created a plan to support her autoimmune thyroid condition. Within 3 weeks, the care plan had helped her so much she knew she wanted to open a clinic in Central Florida to help others. Dr. Leslie graduated and started working immediately in a personal injury clinic where she was able to give back to the patients what was once done for her. She stayed there for about a year before opening The Wellness Way Lake Mary office. She is very excited to help educate and guide patients to their optimal wellness goals.

On her own time she enjoys travel adventures and adrenaline. She has skydived, rides her slingshot with Coast2Coast Slingshot crew, enjoys mentoring apprentices, playing beach volleyball or bowling. She has a strong relationship with her family and friends. And is currently training her puppy Jax.
