Leslie is the owner of Nourished Lifestyles and has been a dietitian for 10 years in a variety of settings. She has focused her expertise in teaching individuals and families how to eat healthy on a limited budget. Besides family eating, Leslie is passionate about supporting women in achieving body acceptance and focuses on the non-diet approach. Leslie believes that food should be something to enjoy and not fear.

In addition to counseling clients for Nourished Lifestyles, Leslie is also adjunct faculty at the University of Maine, teaching clinical dietetics to graduate students. 

With cooking as her true passion and way of de-stressing, Leslie spends her spare time in the kitchen with her husband and two step children. Her favorite presents include, what her idol, Alton Brown, would consider uni-taskers, like a strawberry huller.
