On June 8th, 2001, Leslie passed away apparently due to complications of breast cancer. She had been working with this challenge for some time. For all those who had the priviledge to know and to work with her. Myself as one of her teachers and friend, her family, friends and students ... we will miss her infectious presense. Leslie was my first "official" apprentice student as well as a friend for many years. She became the first certified Instructor in the system I developed ,SomaVeda™, before taking a different direction. Leslie as always marched to her own drum! By nature she was a loving and compassionate, passionate person who challenged everything in her life. Like a whirlwind her zest was contagious and tended to sweep up those around her. She was a terrific and technically proficient teacher who always sought to get to the essence of things and communicate this vision to those around her. In her honor, effective immediatly, I am setting up a scholarship fund in her name to help others who may need assistance in learning this great work that we do.
