Healing Is Possible: The Origin of Centered By Leslie
Leslie Braverman | MAY 26

Issues: Bulging discs, sciatica, and undiagnosed post-natal imbalances.
Healing my own back pain is the origin story of Centered By Leslie. I was post-natal with my second child and busy running after a toddler while also breast-feeding and working full-time. I had undiagnosed post-natal imbalances, as many women do. I also had mild scoliosis from birth. All this was a huge load on my system and it was important to me to maintain my health to meet the demands in my life.
When I injured my back weight-lifting, I was completely debilitated. I couldn't lift my kids, walk my dog or carry groceries. Even doing the dishes and removing wet laundry felt like torture! It seemed like all functional activities were impossible and the pain was escalating. My sciatic nerve and SI joint were sending strong signals.
I sought out modalities such as physical therapy, acupuncture, massage, muscular integration, and pilates. I was already a yoga teacher of 15-years, but my practice seemed to be making it worse. It was as if everything I loved was no longer possible. I knew I was being challenged to grow, learn, and make a huge change.
When nothing else was working, I sought out in-depth training from specialists in physical therapy, neuromuscular re-education, postural therapy, energy medicine, quantum science, and Ayurvedic medicine. I learned to combine functional movement, mobility, stability, and adaptability into one clean movement format while enhancing my skills in holistic health.
It didn't take long until the pain diminished and the imbalances started to reset. I became pain-free by creating strategies that:
balanced suppleness and strength
enhanced posture
addressed physical and energetic roots of pain
re-centered and re-connected me with my inner wisdom
reclaimed my digestive health through Ayurvedic Nutrition and Herbs
If this story resonates with you, book a strategy call. The Centered By Leslie method is science-backed and interwoven with ancient wisdom. And with over 100 success stories... why wait?
