Breast Cancer Support

Leslie is a tenured Nurse Practitioner who has held herself to the highest standards of patient care since she began her career more than 25 years ago. She began her career as a Registered Labor and Delivery nurse within the esteemed Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Over the past 15+ years, Leslie has lived and worked as an OB/GYN Nurse Practitioner within the nationally-ranked Jefferson Health System in Philadelphia. 

Three years ago, her experience on the other side of the exam table elevated Leslie’s understanding of breast cancer on a much more personal level. Her own breast cancer diagnosis initially left her feeling defeated and frightened that her young children would have to live without their mother. But, a shifted focus on playing her hand of cards to the best of her ability instead of resenting the deck she was dealt completely changed her perspective.

She credits modern medicine, self-empowerment through education, and positivity and mindfulness techniques for the gift of the life she now cherishes and enjoys as a survivor, alongside her family and her friends.

That gift is one Leslie continuously chooses to share with the breast cancer community, as she is passionately committed to empowering women to handle and accept their diagnosis through first-hand education and mindfulness. Leslie’s collective wisdom helps women awaken, expand and leverage the strength within themselves that has been there all along.
