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
Vulnerability is True Courage | Reasons and Explanations
Leslie Huddart L.Ac.
Vulnerability is True Courage | Reasons and Explanations
What is True Courage?
Vulnerability is true courage. It's kind of addictive. The more you drop into getting vulnerable with yourself and telling the truth, you see how liberating it is.
There are great people like Dr. Brené Brown who are teaching and researching in this very fact that ancient traditions about your inner world reflecting and projecting into your outer world have been known for centuries.
But what happens when you go through this interchange and then you go back and start to interface with your friends and family who are still in the same mode?
Energetic Communication
We must not only work on our inner world, but we must make our inner world sustainable by bridging it to our outer world. We call this "Energetic Communication".
When you go through a big change in your inner world and your connection with yourself and being more vulnerable and honest, you then go back and relate with people and the relationship has maybe shifted, this could be a little bumpy.
I'm going to give you two main techniques that you can use when you start to feel into your new self, coming into a relationship with people who have known your old self and how to deal with that.
1. A Heads Up
There's a lot of fears that come up:
How do I know if my friends and family are going to be down for this?
Is this too weird? Am I too much?
Are they really friends that fit with me or not? And how do I find that out without hurting anybody's feelings or really feeling awkward myself?
The first thing is to trust that things are unfolding. The change of yourself is the most important, and then we're putting some extra Energetic Communication skillfulness on top of it.
The first technique to use is a heads-up. A heads-up can mean a lot of things.
If you need to have a big wham-bam landing, come-to-Jesus type of conversation with someone, giving them a heads up in advance is very important.
That could just be a text: "Hey, something big is coming up for me and I really wanted to talk with you about it."
Or it could be in the moment. A heads-up can just be a little phrase that signals the other person that you're about to drop down a level and talk about something serious.
I promise that this works mostly even with "non-spiritual" people.
More examples:
"I want to talk about something that's kind of important."
(revealing a little vulnerability) "I'm a little nervous about how this is going to come across but I want to talk about something a little deeper"
"I'm feeling a little worried about saying this out loud. I don't know how you're going to react but..."
This combination of heads up with some vulnerability of what's coming will send a message that "Hey, this is not normal everyday stuff. Don't joke about this. We're actually dropping down", and you might be surprised at what happens.
A caveat, sometimes if people aren't used to connecting with you in this deeper space, they may get a little nervous. They may say something a little sarcastic, so just steady yourself on the inside.
If they make a little joke or something, you just stay there and you do the same thing again, "I know it's kind of funny or you're not used to it, but I am actually being serious and I feel a little sensitive."
That in itself persists a little bit more, giving them the heads up either in advance if it's a big conversation or just with an intro that lets somebody know what's coming.
You'll be able to see in track with them, how they actually react. They might feel a little uncomfortable, but they're probably not going to get up from the table screaming.
2. Clarifying Questions
On the other side is what we call "Clarifying Questions".
After we shared something in an authentic way that is maybe new for the way that we've reacted with this friend or family member, it sometimes leaves us in this silent void where we're wondering, how did that land for them? Are they thinking that I'm totally crazy? Is this totally gonna blow up in my face?
So we often don't know what's happening with the other person and we don't actually ask.
You can train yourself to just ask the clarifying questions:
"I'm a little worried that you think I'm crazy. Is that true?"
"I'm making up a mind story that that was too weird for you. Are you freaking out right now?"
An open, direct question is also a possibility:
"How are you feeling when I say that?"
"How does it land with you when you hear me say that?"
Expressing vulnerability:
"I'm worried that that was a little too much. Do you think I'm totally insane?"
A clarifying question is usually a combination of your worry with the double-checking statement. I share the worry in my mind and then I ask them if that's actually what's happening with them.
Then, just press your lips together and see what they say.
Most of the time you'll be really relieved for them to hear, "Oh no, that doesn't sound crazy at all." or, "Actually, I feel the same way".
I can tell you over and over again, every time I've used this, it has brought someone closer. It has relieved my nervous system and it really does build authentic connections.

This combination of heads up with some vulnerability of what's coming will send a message that "Hey, this is not normal everyday stuff. Don't joke about this. We're actually dropping down", and you might be surprised at what happens.
A caveat, sometimes if people aren't used to connecting with you in this deeper space, they may get a little nervous. They may say something a little sarcastic, so just steady yourself on the inside.
If they make a little joke or something, you just stay there and you do the same thing again, "I know it's kind of funny or you're not used to it, but I am actually being serious and I feel a little sensitive."
That in itself persists a little bit more, giving them the heads up either in advance if it's a big conversation or just with an intro that lets somebody know what's coming.
You'll be able to see in track with them, how they actually react. They might feel a little uncomfortable, but they're probably not going to get up from the table screaming.
2. Clarifying Questions
On the other side is what we call "Clarifying Questions".
After we shared something in an authentic way that is maybe new for the way that we've reacted with this friend or family member, it sometimes leaves us in this silent void where we're wondering, how did that land for them? Are they thinking that I'm totally crazy? Is this totally gonna blow up in my face?
So we often don't know what's happening with the other person and we don't actually ask.
You can train yourself to just ask the clarifying questions:
"I'm a little worried that you think I'm crazy. Is that true?"
"I'm making up a mind story that that was too weird for you. Are you freaking out right now?"
An open, direct question is also a possibility:
"How are you feeling when I say that?"
"How does it land with you when you hear me say that?"
Expressing vulnerability:
"I'm worried that that was a little too much. Do you think I'm totally insane?"
A clarifying question is usually a combination of your worry with the double-checking statement. I share the worry in my mind and then I ask them if that's actually what's happening with them.
Then, just press your lips together and see what they say.
Most of the time you'll be really relieved for them to hear, "Oh no, that doesn't sound crazy at all." or, "Actually, I feel the same way".
I can tell you over and over again, every time I've used this, it has brought someone closer. It has relieved my nervous system and it really does build authentic connections.

Vulnerability is True Courage | Reasons and Explanations
What is True Courage?
Vulnerability is true courage. It's kind of addictive. The more you drop into getting vulnerable with yourself and telling the truth, you see how liberating it is.
There are great people like Dr. Brené Brown who are teaching and researching in this very fact that ancient traditions about your inner world reflecting and projecting into your outer world have been known for centuries.
But what happens when you go through this interchange and then you go back and start to interface with your friends and family who are still in the same mode?
Energetic Communication
We must not only work on our inner world, but we must make our inner world sustainable by bridging it to our outer world. We call this "Energetic Communication".
When you go through a big change in your inner world and your connection with yourself and being more vulnerable and honest, you then go back and relate with people and the relationship has maybe shifted, this could be a little bumpy.
I'm going to give you two main techniques that you can use when you start to feel into your new self, coming into a relationship with people who have known your old self and how to deal with that.
1. A Heads Up
There's a lot of fears that come up:
How do I know if my friends and family are going to be down for this?
Is this too weird? Am I too much?
Are they really friends that fit with me or not? And how do I find that out without hurting anybody's feelings or really feeling awkward myself?
The first thing is to trust that things are unfolding. The change of yourself is the most important, and then we're putting some extra Energetic Communication skillfulness on top of it.
The first technique to use is a heads-up. A heads-up can mean a lot of things.
If you need to have a big wham-bam landing, come-to-Jesus type of conversation with someone, giving them a heads up in advance is very important.
That could just be a text: "Hey, something big is coming up for me and I really wanted to talk with you about it."
Or it could be in the moment. A heads-up can just be a little phrase that signals the other person that you're about to drop down a level and talk about something serious.
I promise that this works mostly even with "non-spiritual" people.
More examples:
"I want to talk about something that's kind of important."
(revealing a little vulnerability) "I'm a little nervous about how this is going to come across but I want to talk about something a little deeper"
"I'm feeling a little worried about saying this out loud. I don't know how you're going to react but..."
