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

How to Use Sage | Natural Health
Sage in Spiritual Traditions & Modern Research
Sage is one of my favorite space clearing tools. The practice of burning sage (and sometimes other medicinal herbs like sweetgrass ) can be referred to as "smudging" and is a great way to calm the mind as well as clear & refresh your space.
Smudging comes from Native American healing traditions, but many world traditions incorporate the burning of sacred herbs into ceremony and daily life. For example, herbs & offerings to the fire are a mainstay of many Hindu ceremonies, Buddhist traditions often incorporate incense and traditional catholic mass makes use of frankincense.
Modern medical research has also confirmed that burning medicinal herbs has a purifying effect on the air, in one study, eliminating 94% of bacteria counts for up to 24 hours in an enclosed room.
Smudging has been growing in popularity and even got a feature in Oprah magazine, although in the mainstream, the focus is purely on the scientific and not this practice's spiritual and energetic roots.
The Energetic Level of Sage
On an energetic level, burning sage helps to clear your field of the kind of unhelpful energy that we can sometimes pick up from other people, environments, or charged situations.
Understanding how astral or unseen energy works, how it can benefit and cause us trouble was once only the secret domain of shamans and traditional healers.
As a spiritual guide and licensed acupuncturist, I find it is very useful to give people a practical understanding of this realm of reality, how it works, and how you can deal with any issues that can arise where unhelpful energy is concerned.
Graduates of my self-mastery training, The Body Wisdom Academy (BWA), learn the ins and outs of how to keep themselves and their loved ones free of any unhelpful energy that could cause them trouble.
Here's an experience one graduate shared with me after visiting a war memorial:
Here are three ways to incorporate sage into your life for a more peaceful mind and environment.
3 WAYS TO USE SAGE
1. Use Sage to Transition from Work to Home Life
It can be tough to be out in the hustle and bustle of the outside world all day, especially if you are a more energetically sensitive person.
Burning sage as a centering ritual after you arrive home will help you energetically and mentally transition into a restful time at home. This practice will also encourage you to leave work agendas behind you at work so you can focus on your own self care, your family life and relationships.
2. Sage for Anxiety & Depression
One thing that my patients are often surprised and relieved to understand is that taking on energy that is not our own is a fairly common contributor to feelings of anxiousness or depression. Now, there are many biological, nutritional as well as psycho-spiritual causes that affect our moods so I am not insinuating that unhelpful energy is the sole cause of anxiety or depression.
What I've found as a clinician over the past decade is that there are often subtle body issues at play with most cases of persistent anxiety and depression. One of these issues that can be remedied by smudging is that of unhelpful energy that one has often unknowingly "picked up."
If this is the case for you, you'll feel a deeper sense of calm or lightness after smudging, or a greater sense of ease or relief.
If you'd like to learn how to heal your anxiety from the inside our without decades of therapy, you can discover your particular "Anxiety Type" as well as the herbs & supplements that will work best for you in my "Healing Anxiety Naturally" Course which you can access on my classes & trainings page.
3. Sage for Better Sleep
Where as our ancestors were naturally winding down their day with the setting sun, our modern conveniences allow our busy minds to stay active and on our electronic devices well up to bedtime.
This busy pace often makes it hard to sleep, and when sleep patterns get off balance, everything get's worse.
Smudging as a part of your evening bedtime ritual can be helpful in clearing your mind and transitioning towards sleep.
Here's a routine to try for 7 days straight to see how your mind, mood and sleep improve:
7 Day Smudging Routine for Better Sleep
This routine will be particularly helpful for you if a "racing mind" and trouble turning off your thoughts is a particularly strong contributing factor in your sleep issues.
I recommend first ending whatever you have to do on your phone or devices then putting them in airplane mode so that you are reducing the amount of electromagnetic fields that are around you while you sleep at night.
Perform your personal care rituals like teeth brushing, face washing and put on your pj's so you're ready for bed.
In a quiet space, ideally, your personal altar or meditation space, light the sage with a candle until there is a decent amount of smoke.
Use one hand to waft the smoke towards your body, moving the sage past the lower and upper parts of your body (the order and direction are not particularly important).
As best you can, include the space behind your body with the sage smoke, being mindful of fire safety.
Imagine that all of the outside thoughts and events of the day are being carried away with the smoke. Set your intention that you are giving back anything that you've taken on that is not yours, and you are calling back any of your energy that you may have given away inappropriately.
Take three to five deep and easy breaths, and feel a sense of gratitude for yourself for taking this time for yourself.
Extinguish the sage either in some sand in an abalone shell (traditionally used) or in a small cup of dried rice, sand, or small beans to snuff out the flame.
Head to bed and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep!
You are a soul with a body and I'm wishing you great things!

2. Sage for Anxiety & Depression
One thing that my patients are often surprised and relieved to understand is that taking on energy that is not our own is a fairly common contributor to feelings of anxiousness or depression. Now, there are many biological, nutritional as well as psycho-spiritual causes that affect our moods so I am not insinuating that unhelpful energy is the sole cause of anxiety or depression.
What I've found as a clinician over the past decade is that there are often subtle body issues at play with most cases of persistent anxiety and depression. One of these issues that can be remedied by smudging is that of unhelpful energy that one has often unknowingly "picked up."
If this is the case for you, you'll feel a deeper sense of calm or lightness after smudging, or a greater sense of ease or relief.
If you'd like to learn how to heal your anxiety from the inside our without decades of therapy, you can discover your particular "Anxiety Type" as well as the herbs & supplements that will work best for you in my "Healing Anxiety Naturally" Course which you can access on my classes & trainings page.
3. Sage for Better Sleep
Where as our ancestors were naturally winding down their day with the setting sun, our modern conveniences allow our busy minds to stay active and on our electronic devices well up to bedtime.
This busy pace often makes it hard to sleep, and when sleep patterns get off balance, everything get's worse.
Smudging as a part of your evening bedtime ritual can be helpful in clearing your mind and transitioning towards sleep.
Here's a routine to try for 7 days straight to see how your mind, mood and sleep improve:
7 Day Smudging Routine for Better Sleep
This routine will be particularly helpful for you if a "racing mind" and trouble turning off your thoughts is a particularly strong contributing factor in your sleep issues.
I recommend first ending whatever you have to do on your phone or devices then putting them in airplane mode so that you are reducing the amount of electromagnetic fields that are around you while you sleep at night.
Perform your personal care rituals like teeth brushing, face washing and put on your pj's so you're ready for bed.
In a quiet space, ideally, your personal altar or meditation space, light the sage with a candle until there is a decent amount of smoke.
Use one hand to waft the smoke towards your body, moving the sage past the lower and upper parts of your body (the order and direction are not particularly important).
As best you can, include the space behind your body with the sage smoke, being mindful of fire safety.
Imagine that all of the outside thoughts and events of the day are being carried away with the smoke. Set your intention that you are giving back anything that you've taken on that is not yours, and you are calling back any of your energy that you may have given away inappropriately.
Take three to five deep and easy breaths, and feel a sense of gratitude for yourself for taking this time for yourself.
Extinguish the sage either in some sand in an abalone shell (traditionally used) or in a small cup of dried rice, sand, or small beans to snuff out the flame.
Head to bed and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep!
You are a soul with a body and I'm wishing you great things!

Sage in Spiritual Traditions & Modern Research
Sage is one of my favorite space clearing tools. The practice of burning sage (and sometimes other medicinal herbs like sweetgrass ) can be referred to as "smudging" and is a great way to calm the mind as well as clear & refresh your space.
Smudging comes from Native American healing traditions, but many world traditions incorporate the burning of sacred herbs into ceremony and daily life. For example, herbs & offerings to the fire are a mainstay of many Hindu ceremonies, Buddhist traditions often incorporate incense and traditional catholic mass makes use of frankincense.
Modern medical research has also confirmed that burning medicinal herbs has a purifying effect on the air, in one study, eliminating 94% of bacteria counts for up to 24 hours in an enclosed room.
Smudging has been growing in popularity and even got a feature in Oprah magazine, although in the mainstream, the focus is purely on the scientific and not this practice's spiritual and energetic roots.
The Energetic Level of Sage
On an energetic level, burning sage helps to clear your field of the kind of unhelpful energy that we can sometimes pick up from other people, environments, or charged situations.
Understanding how astral or unseen energy works, how it can benefit and cause us trouble was once only the secret domain of shamans and traditional healers.
As a spiritual guide and licensed acupuncturist, I find it is very useful to give people a practical understanding of this realm of reality, how it works, and how you can deal with any issues that can arise where unhelpful energy is concerned.
Graduates of my self-mastery training, The Body Wisdom Academy (BWA), learn the ins and outs of how to keep themselves and their loved ones free of any unhelpful energy that could cause them trouble.
Here's an experience one graduate shared with me after visiting a war memorial:
Here are three ways to incorporate sage into your life for a more peaceful mind and environment.
