The Body, Mind, Qi Way
Your Inner World Creates Your Outer Experience
Real healing happens in community. See the faces of transformation.
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.
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."
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.
You're not broken. You're ready for next-level transformation.
And found it helpful, but it didn't quite get you to where you want to be
Life coaching, yoga teacher, nutrition, reiki... you name it, but are still struggling with some things
But you feel like an imposter, like something is missing or not quite right
150+ Verified Training Results from Therapists, Healers & Empaths
"I had tried therapy for over 10 years with no huge life-changing results... I finally, for the first time, feel free from lifelong issues that were holding me back."
Holistic Health Coach
"Now when triggers come up, I'm able to easily work through them and let them go, instead of it being the thing that I do for three days."
TEDx Organizer
"Leslie is a true healer... no one else can do what she does."
Client
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.
A proven, step-by-step methodology for lasting transformation
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.
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.
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
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?
Whether you're looking for personal transformation or professional certification, we have a path for you.
Our comprehensive Body Wisdom Academy program where you'll master Subtle Body Work™ and earn certification to use these techniques with yourself and clients.
Advanced training for coaches, therapists, and healers who want to integrate Subtle Body Work™ into their professional practice.
Work directly with Leslie Huddart or one of our master-trained coaches for personalized, deep healing work.

In this article, you will read about the blocks and problems of new age spiritual path and what I call " it's all good" new age-y spiritual bypass.
The good and bad in new age spirituality
So in the realm of what I would call new age spirituality, there are many good things. Often it's the place that people go after they're starting to recover from church PTSD. Maybe you grew up going to church, or maybe you didn't really have a religious tradition. You've sort of found the new age-y vibe of spirituality, which is sort of about believing that things happen for a reason, doing manifestation work, using positive affirmations, visualization and positive thinking. These things are all helpful, but there is a dark side to new-age spirituality. The problem is that, it's not really all good. There are some real dark sides of being a human is difficult. Doing self-development takes acknowledging our shadow and sometimes digging through the crap to actually get through the light. You might be making this new age-y spiritual bypass mistake, and it's not totally your fault.
If you feel and notice the signs of real danger or a version of anything that seems too negative, you might say the words, "Oh, it feels like it's dragging me down or it's too negative," but maybe you also might be just avoiding the shadow side of things. And like I said, it's not your fault.
There's not a whole lot of structure and guidance on how or where to develop your spiritual path. If you're not part of maybe an organized system in either Eastern or Western religious traditions. But the truth is on the spiritual path, just like everywhere else in life is that we must judge by results. And what I see over and over again is the kind of hodgepodge-y sort of area of new-age spirituality that might give you some positive things, but it also creates some really big blind spots and it will really limit your results over time.
"We must judge by results"
I've seen this over and over again where on the surface, people say that they're very spiritual or that they're really focusing on abundance, but yet they can't even balance their checkbook and they're kind of an asshole when they get into a conflict situation. Wherever you are, whatever you're doing, you must judge by results. And if you want to really go deeper in your spiritual path, you may need to look at some things where you may have been getting stuck in a new age-y spiritual bypass. I know this was certainly the case for me. In my early twenties, I was in acupuncture school. I had already graduated. I was a practitioner. I was helping other people with these outward things and living my best efforts at a spiritual life. And yet I still had some major blind spots in places where I wasn't in integrity. So I know what this is like.
If you would like to go deeper in your spiritual path without the dogma, I'd love to gift you my free 21 days of inspiration. It's a short bite-size email course where you get a tiny, easy-to-read, watch or listen to inspiration in your email box every day for 21 days. It's short. Your life is busy. It'll be easy to listen to and it just might change your life.
You are a soul with a body and I'm wishing you great things.
