Is Inquiry Meditation for me?​

The meditators who do this deep work are seeking highly concentrated healing and deep relief for their trauma, triggers, and/or childhood wounds--and they want to experience results from their first experience

​

Many Inquiry Meditators come to IM having tried other modalities and are happy to find, finally, the trauma resolution they have been so earnestly seeking--and they are delighted to find that that resolution often is possible in months rather than years and years.  

​

​

What is Inquiry Meditation?​​​

​​

​Inquiry Meditation (IM) is a somatic healing modality that includes elements of Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, Classic Pleasure Theory, The Work by Byron Katie, and Vipassana Meditation.​

"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 radiate out and have helped me find my own intuition and wisdom in my body. I am so grateful."

​

Why does Inquiry Meditation begin working so quickly? 

Inquiry Meditation is not a quick fix. There is no quick fix for trauma healing.

​

IM, though, is a concentrated dose of what heals pain at its roots: evermore direct and gentle engagement--what I call relationship--with the pain. ​

​​

This is why the modality begins working so quickly

What do we do during sessions?

"Leslie will change your life. I'm already noticing great shifts and can't wait to see where I'll be 6 months in. I recommend her to anyone who will listen. Do you want to dissolve lifelong blocks and start flowing in the way you were born to? Work with Leslie."

Kelley S. 

What happens during sessions?

We begin by feeling for where pain is coming up in response to the problem or stress you're experiencing.

 

The pain may be in your chest, for example. You won't have to look hard for this pain--it wants to be seen! (This applies to numbness as well.)
 

Once we've identified where the pain is occurring, we engage with it.

​

I call IM a pleasure practice because the process of our interaction with the pain--the healing process itself, that is--feels really good!

​​​

Your body registers this good feeling as immediate relief from your suffering. â€‹

"As someone who has spent years protecting myself by numbing uncomfortable feelings, I have found Leslie's method of Inquiry Meditation to be safe, gentle and incredibly effective.
 
Leslie has an incredible spirit and energy which is both energizing and calming - it's hard to explain but you understand the minute you meet her. She is a gifted practitioner and a gift to my life.​"
