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

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.

What do Baby Yoda/Grogu and the nature of reality have in common? That's actually what we're talking about in this article, we are talking about this idea of impermanence. Let's dive in!
A couple weeks ago I was walking through Costco and I saw this little set of Star Wars dog toys. Now I don't have any nieces or nephews, but my sister does have a dog, so I will send cute little Mable, the dog, some dog toys. When I got home and started to put Baby Yoda in the package, I paused because anybody that has ever sent a dog toy to a dog, especially a medium to large dog, knows that you are sending that toy to certain death within record time– his little squeaker will be ripped out. He will be no more. And I just looked at his cute little face. And in that moment I was having a lot of resistance to actually sending the dog toy to the dog itself because of its cuteness.
And we naturally have an aversion to stuff that we don't like, or that seems bad. And on the surface, that's just, you know, part of how we are made arguably, biologically and evolutionary. But it can become a real, real stumbling block on the personal and spiritual path. So one of the tools that can really help us is this Idea of Impermanence.
Impermanence
Impermanence is particularly well talked about in the Tibetan traditions. It's the idea, the noticing that in our outer world, everything changes. Our bodies and our homes and the mountains and the oceans and everything is constantly changing. Everything that grows, comes in, is born, is birthed, is sprouting, will ultimately decay and die.
We all know that we're gonna die, but we don't really think about it. Our mind really does its best to block that out of our system. And this is actually a real problem because
One, it is the nature of reality. Nobody gets out of this gig alive.
Two, by denying the aspect of impermanence, we create clinging situations in which we are causing ourselves to suffer...to have not just bad feelings about what's going to happen, but fighting against the nature of reality itself.
You have to force your mind to really realize and operate as if death can come at any moment. If your reaction in this moment is like, “Well, gosh, Leslie, you're kind of a downer. I don't wanna think about that." Notice, which part of you is that coming from? Is it coming from the mind, the part of ourselves that lives in separateness that tries to get control? Your mind is a part of ourselves that counterbalances the heart or the soul, the part of ourselves to which nothing has ever happened, that is in touch with the great unity and the nature of the unchanging nature of your great mystery. However, you call that in your working spiritual hypothesis.
So, the key point here is:
Impermanence is a real thing. Everything that comes into being will also die, myself included and everyone and everything that I love in this outer world will also follow that cycle.
Mind vs Heart
There are two parts of myself, a mind part, you know, and some teachers like to call this the ego. Ego is not really a great, very precise term, so I tend to use mind as this part of ourselves. Different traditions really pick this apart, but for our purposes, the way we teach it in deeper lessons is mind versus heart, the more abiding part of ourselves. This mind part does not like the idea of Impermanence.
The goal is to come into a deeper acceptance and relationship with Impermanence, which is the nature of the reality in which we find ourselves. That gives us great freedom.
It aligns us with truth versus mind's version of reality, (which often causes us to suffer) versus the heart's understanding of what endures.
It creates a priority in our system. If we really wake up, we know that things are not assured and certain.
It helps us hone in our human priorities, our values, our action steps.
It helps us clarify and come into the right relationship with the actual nature of reality versus the mind's view.
Learn to Appreciate and Acknowledge!
An actual practical thing that you can do on a daily basis, (whether it's with cute dog toys that you're going to send to your sister's dog, and they're going to devour it within a short amount of time) or with anything in your life, anything you enjoy! You wanna start to practice this twofold aspect, the practice of appreciating and also acknowledging its Impermanence.
I was sharing this idea of Impermanence with my mom and encouraging her to sort of, you know, practice this letting go. Her reaction from the mind, which was really natural was, "but I still wanna enjoy them!" So if your mind needs a little cookie reading this blog, the little cookie is you do get to enjoy them, but you do not get to enjoy them under the mind error understanding that you will always have them, that the only way you can be okay is when they are there.
I had to do my own little work around sending this cute little toy out. I've had him a little extra couple weeks around the house because I kind of delayed in sending and processing. Whatever that sticky part was in myself is also helping me, maybe also writing this blog and making this video. So you're helping me in that way to enjoy! And also acknowledge that all things change. And that helps align me. As we said, the benefit of Impermanence is it aligns me with what I'm really aligned with, which is offering this gift, which is something fun. My sister is the person that got me to watch the Mandalorian. It's a little point of connection in that way. I'm more aligned with that now because I'm more out of the mind grasping that I was having of like, “No, don't send him away. He's so cute!”
So you can see how this cycle works and you can apply this in your own life on a daily basis. If you find yourself really in enjoyment, allow yourself to enjoy it fully, and also start to come into a deeper letting go by knowing that this and all outer world things change. What this ultimately does as a practice is to really bring us back to the way of the heart and into deeper connection with the part of ourselves that does not change that abiding awareness on the inside.
Practical Spirituality
This fall we'll also be taking a group through my Practical Spirituality training. If this really sparkles for you and you wanna go deeper and learn how to:
Understand the tricks of your mind.
Actually practically walk the ways of the heart.
Come into the essence of your own understanding of your working spiritual hypothesis.
Be able to freely live your heart's purpose without the interference of the mind.
That's what we'll be doing.
If you know somebody else who is a baby Yoda/Grogu fan, or really just is into walking the path of understanding the deeper nature of reality, send this along. I'm on a mission to help as many people as possible, really live their lives on purpose in a heart aligned way, free from the snags of the subtle body-mind wiring. Things that can happen with being a human.

What do Baby Yoda/Grogu and the nature of reality have in common? That's actually what we're talking about in this article, we are talking about this idea of impermanence. Let's dive in!
A couple weeks ago I was walking through Costco and I saw this little set of Star Wars dog toys. Now I don't have any nieces or nephews, but my sister does have a dog, so I will send cute little Mable, the dog, some dog toys. When I got home and started to put Baby Yoda in the package, I paused because anybody that has ever sent a dog toy to a dog, especially a medium to large dog, knows that you are sending that toy to certain death within record time– his little squeaker will be ripped out. He will be no more. And I just looked at his cute little face. And in that moment I was having a lot of resistance to actually sending the dog toy to the dog itself because of its cuteness.
And we naturally have an aversion to stuff that we don't like, or that seems bad. And on the surface, that's just, you know, part of how we are made arguably, biologically and evolutionary. But it can become a real, real stumbling block on the personal and spiritual path. So one of the tools that can really help us is this Idea of Impermanence.
Impermanence
Impermanence is particularly well talked about in the Tibetan traditions. It's the idea, the noticing that in our outer world, everything changes. Our bodies and our homes and the mountains and the oceans and everything is constantly changing. Everything that grows, comes in, is born, is birthed, is sprouting, will ultimately decay and die.
We all know that we're gonna die, but we don't really think about it. Our mind really does its best to block that out of our system. And this is actually a real problem because
One, it is the nature of reality. Nobody gets out of this gig alive.
Two, by denying the aspect of impermanence, we create clinging situations in which we are causing ourselves to suffer...to have not just bad feelings about what's going to happen, but fighting against the nature of reality itself.
You have to force your mind to really realize and operate as if death can come at any moment. If your reaction in this moment is like, “Well, gosh, Leslie, you're kind of a downer. I don't wanna think about that." Notice, which part of you is that coming from? Is it coming from the mind, the part of ourselves that lives in separateness that tries to get control? Your mind is a part of ourselves that counterbalances the heart or the soul, the part of ourselves to which nothing has ever happened, that is in touch with the great unity and the nature of the unchanging nature of your great mystery. However, you call that in your working spiritual hypothesis.
So, the key point here is:
Impermanence is a real thing. Everything that comes into being will also die, myself included and everyone and everything that I love in this outer world will also follow that cycle.
Mind vs Heart
There are two parts of myself, a mind part, you know, and some teachers like to call this the ego. Ego is not really a great, very precise term, so I tend to use mind as this part of ourselves. Different traditions really pick this apart, but for our purposes, the way we teach it in deeper lessons is mind versus heart, the more abiding part of ourselves. This mind part does not like the idea of Impermanence.
The goal is to come into a deeper acceptance and relationship with Impermanence, which is the nature of the reality in which we find ourselves. That gives us great freedom.
It aligns us with truth versus mind's version of reality, (which often causes us to suffer) versus the heart's understanding of what endures.
It creates a priority in our system. If we really wake up, we know that things are not assured and certain.
It helps us hone in our human priorities, our values, our action steps.
It helps us clarify and come into the right relationship with the actual nature of reality versus the mind's view.
Learn to Appreciate and Acknowledge!
An actual practical thing that you can do on a daily basis, (whether it's with cute dog toys that you're going to send to your sister's dog, and they're going to devour it within a short amount of time) or with anything in your life, anything you enjoy! You wanna start to practice this twofold aspect, the practice of appreciating and also acknowledging its Impermanence.
I was sharing this idea of Impermanence with my mom and encouraging her to sort of, you know, practice this letting go. Her reaction from the mind, which was really natural was, "but I still wanna enjoy them!" So if your mind needs a little cookie reading this blog, the little cookie is you do get to enjoy them, but you do not get to enjoy them under the mind error understanding that you will always have them, that the only way you can be okay is when they are there.
I had to do my own little work around sending this cute little toy out. I've had him a little extra couple weeks around the house because I kind of delayed in sending and processing. Whatever that sticky part was in myself is also helping me, maybe also writing this blog and making this video. So you're helping me in that way to enjoy! And also acknowledge that all things change. And that helps align me. As we said, the benefit of Impermanence is it aligns me with what I'm really aligned with, which is offering this gift, which is something fun. My sister is the person that got me to watch the Mandalorian. It's a little point of connection in that way. I'm more aligned with that now because I'm more out of the mind grasping that I was having of like, “No, don't send him away. He's so cute!”
So you can see how this cycle works and you can apply this in your own life on a daily basis. If you find yourself really in enjoyment, allow yourself to enjoy it fully, and also start to come into a deeper letting go by knowing that this and all outer world things change. What this ultimately does as a practice is to really bring us back to the way of the heart and into deeper connection with the part of ourselves that does not change that abiding awareness on the inside.
Practical Spirituality
This fall we'll also be taking a group through my Practical Spirituality training. If this really sparkles for you and you wanna go deeper and learn how to:
Understand the tricks of your mind.
Actually practically walk the ways of the heart.
Come into the essence of your own understanding of your working spiritual hypothesis.
Be able to freely live your heart's purpose without the interference of the mind.
That's what we'll be doing.
If you know somebody else who is a baby Yoda/Grogu fan, or really just is into walking the path of understanding the deeper nature of reality, send this along. I'm on a mission to help as many people as possible, really live their lives on purpose in a heart aligned way, free from the snags of the subtle body-mind wiring.
