About Body Wisdom Academy - Subtle Body Work™ for Trauma Release
Body Wisdom Academy specializes in Subtle Body Work™, a comprehensive trauma release methodology developed by licensed acupuncturist Leslie Huddart. Unlike traditional talk therapy that addresses only the mental layer, our approach works with the complete mind-body-spirit system where trauma is actually stored.
What is Subtle Body Work? Drawing from Chinese Medicine, Vedic traditions, and modern somatic therapeutics, Subtle Body Work™ teaches you to decode your body's unique language. Trauma isn't just a mental experience—it's encoded in multiple layers of your subtle body system, creating persistent anxiety, imposter syndrome, relationship patterns, and emotional triggers that conventional therapy often can't resolve.
Who We Serve: Empaths, healers, therapists, coaches, yoga teachers, and spiritual practitioners who've completed certifications and therapy but still feel stuck. Our clients report releasing lifelong trauma blocks in months rather than years, experiencing lasting inner peace, clarity on life purpose, and freedom from generational patterns.
Our Programs: 16-week certification training, Coach Practitioner training track, individual coaching sessions, and community support for both personal healing and professional development. Learn repeatable techniques to dissolve triggers at their source—not just manage symptoms—using evidence-based methods rooted in ancient wisdom and clinical practice.
Empaths. Healers. Seekers.
You Already Feel the Call.
Healing is a sacred calling—and your subtle body may be the missing key to true transformation.
"Your subtle body is either your superpower or your biggest block."
Therapy, Yoga, Coaching…
Still Feeling Stuck?
You've done the trainings, certifications, and energy work—but something still feels off.
Most healing methods miss the subtle body, the system where mind, body, and spirit actually integrate. Without it, results remain partial.
Is This You?
You're not broken. You're ready for next-level transformation.
You've Done Therapy
And found it helpful, but it didn't quite get you to where you want to be
You've Done Training & Certifications
Life coaching, yoga teacher, nutrition, reiki... you name it, but are still struggling with some things
Your Life Looks Good From the Outside
But you feel like an imposter, like something is missing or not quite right

What Subtle Body Work™ Does
Subtle Body Work™ helps you release trauma blocks faster and deeper than typical methods—so you can finally feel confident, calm and soul-aligned in your life.
Your subtle body is the technical side of how your mind-body-spirit system are wired together from an ancient eastern wisdom tradition lens. We are the intersection of modern science and ancient spirituality.
How Subtle Body Work™ Actually Works
A proven, step-by-step methodology for lasting transformation
Embodiment & Reconnection
You learn to safely come back into your body, feel and map your sensations, and work with your energy system so you can shift how you feel in the moment and no longer get stuck in endless spirals.
Getting to the Hidden Source
Once your system has some safety and skill, we guide you step by step into the deeper layers where your old patterns and triggers are held, and teach you how to release them at the root.
Integration into Real Life
We help you bring this into relationships, boundaries, work, purpose, and your actual day-to-day life so change is not just internal, but shows up in how you live and choose.
This isn't theory. This is real-life applicable work that creates measurable results.

Meet Your Guide & Our Founder
Leslie Huddart, L.Ac., MAOM
Founder of Body Wisdom Academy & Creator of Subtle Body Work™
I am a natural health expert and spiritual guide who combines ancient healing wisdom, modern neuroscience, and mindfulness to get you healing results where other methods have failed.
My specialty is helping fellow healers and empaths take the shortcut to personal success, soul alignment, true confidence, and freedom from anxiety and insecurity.
I know what it's like to struggle because I've been there myself. I grew up as an unguided empath struggling with family dynamics, an unbalanced relationship with food, and disappointing romantic relationships. All these struggles pushed me to dive into yoga, spiritual study, and the healing arts.
Over the past 20+ years of working with clients in my mind-body healing and natural health practice, I've developed a system of working with the subtle body that will amplify your healing to help you get to where you're truly meant to be.
"Together, we'll heal and release the issues stuck in your mind-body-spirit system that have been secretly holding you back."
Now, we're training a community of powerful healers to take this work into the world for themselves and others. Are you our next Soul Warrior?

Healing Truths

Is Herbal Tea Safe? | Natural Health
Tea is healing! As a natural health nerd and Chinese medicine herbalist, I know that herbs are healing and tea is one great way to bring more herbs into your life.
I first really realized this firsthand as a teenager when I was studying abroad in France. Every night or most nights my host mom would offer me tisane.
Tea helps us have a ritual, an evening routine. It helps us slide into the calmness of sleep and in general, herbs are a healing way to get more natural earth medicines into your body, but there is some serious dangers about herbal tea that you need to be aware of.
I want to tell you about some things about herbal tea that you might not know. One is that herbal tea is actually a big source of pesticides, so it's really important that your tea be organic. I first heard about this years ago when I was a student in Chinese medicine school and I was also taking a course in applied kinesiology or muscle testing and that instructor had said, "Oh yeah, yeah, don't drink herbal tea. It's huge amount of pesticides." I started adapting to that and I was already mostly organic for many things so it made sense.
Here's the reason why. I think explaining the process of how tea cultivation works will really open your eyes to just how big of a deal this is. Even some of the brand names on your grocery store shelves of nice greenwashed tea, if it's not organic, it contains high levels of pesticides.
When you go and tour a tea herbal factory, you'll notice that in the processing room where all the bulk herbs are gathered they're sifted and cleaned by a process that usually involves bursts of air to push out the debris. The twigs and the heavier material are all strained.
The reason for this is that you can't wash tea so most of leaves or herbal material. When it's mixed with water, it starts to release its active component. That's why we're drinking it as tea. You can't put it in water and wash it beforehand, like do your salad greens at the market, because the tea would lose its healing instead as it's processed.
Tea leaves and herbal material is usually processed with some kind of compressed air. Well, you can't blow the pesticides off of your tea. This is why tea is kind of a dangerous area that we don't normally think about as a high level source of pesticides.
Anything that that tea came in contact with is still going to be on the herbal material and you really can't wash it off. It's ending up in your tea cup. This is why it's important to buy organic.
I also recommend that you avoid the fangled tea bags that look really cute and triangular and kind of upscale but actually are a type of plastic material that is potentially going into your tea. Now I'm sure it's approved by the FDA. I'm sure the FDA thinks that this is totally fine. Nothing in this video is meant to cure, heal or treat any diseases and has definitely not been approved by the FDA, but I want you to think about it's always good in your life to avoid your exposure to plastic and chemicals and pouring hot water over something that is potentially bringing into your system and influence even in a small way that you don't want.

1 part Oat Straw
1 part Chamomile
Stevia leaves to taste if you like added sweetness

Here's the reason why. I think explaining the process of how tea cultivation works will really open your eyes to just how big of a deal this is. Even some of the brand names on your grocery store shelves of nice greenwashed tea, if it's not organic, it contains high levels of pesticides.
When you go and tour a tea herbal factory, you'll notice that in the processing room where all the bulk herbs are gathered they're sifted and cleaned by a process that usually involves bursts of air to push out the debris. The twigs and the heavier material are all strained.
The reason for this is that you can't wash tea so most of leaves or herbal material. When it's mixed with water, it starts to release its active component. That's why we're drinking it as tea. You can't put it in water and wash it beforehand, like do your salad greens at the market, because the tea would lose its healing instead as it's processed.
Tea leaves and herbal material is usually processed with some kind of compressed air. Well, you can't blow the pesticides off of your tea. This is why tea is kind of a dangerous area that we don't normally think about as a high level source of pesticides.
Anything that that tea came in contact with is still going to be on the herbal material and you really can't wash it off. It's ending up in your tea cup. This is why it's important to buy organic.
I also recommend that you avoid the fangled tea bags that look really cute and triangular and kind of upscale but actually are a type of plastic material that is potentially going into your tea. Now I'm sure it's approved by the FDA. I'm sure the FDA thinks that this is totally fine. Nothing in this video is meant to cure, heal or treat any diseases and has definitely not been approved by the FDA, but I want you to think about it's always good in your life to avoid your exposure to plastic and chemicals and pouring hot water over something that is potentially bringing into your system and influence even in a small way that you don't want.
