She is a homeowner in Larkspur and appreciates all this lovely neighborhood has to offer. You may see her on the Larkspur trail or hiking up Pilot Butte with her two dogs on most days.
Leslie is self employed as a Certified Yoga Therapist and Coach and spends her days working from her home or seeing clients online and in a small studio in downtown Bend.
