Leslie Nuchow
I have always been a seeker — drawn to healing, understanding, transformation, growth, creativity, to the divine, and to love.
An intrinsic part of my journey has been a deep and abiding wish to help people.
At different times in my life, that wish has manifested in different ways...
Through my music, being a mother, being a wife for almost 30 years, being a good friend, a devoted family member, a community member, an activist, a leader and organizer, and a labor and delivery nurse.
It has been expressed through working as a home birth midwife assistant, my midwifery training, and my years as a birth doula, as well as through my Reiki healer certification, my studies in grief work, and decades of using homeopathy to support my family's wellbeing.
It has been shaped by over three decades of meditation practice, including 30 days of silence a year for 15 years.
While this journey has nourished my own growth and healing, the vision and intention has also always been to help others connect to their own truths and to support them in aligning with their soul’s purpose.
Trauma changes a person.
For me, it cracked me open and gave me a direct line to the divine.
It allowed me to feel the interconnectedness of all beings.
It gave me the gift of being able to SEE.
My own road to healing has been everything—illuminating, terrifying, joyful, challenging, long, short, arduous, inspired, painful, hopeless, hopeful…
A continuous journey towards my own alignment and authenticity.
How I can help
Together, we can find your lost parts—the parts that whisper to you late at night or early in the morning.
The parts that keep calling you home to yourself.
That little voice that knows.
Together, we can investigate what might be stopping you from answering that call.
We can shine a light on the fears that you might have of living a truly aligned life.
Honoring our deepest self is not always easy.
But it is the only true path to living an authentic life.
It takes courage.
It takes commitment.
And you don’t have to journey alone.
Because of my training as a CPC, my decades of helping women through labor—facing huge fears and giant physical pain—and my own deep healing work, I have lots of tools in my toolbox.
But all of that aside, what really matters is your desire and willingness to heal, and our partnership in this work.
"With Leslie’s mentoring, I was able to manifest a major life change I’d been yearning for - yet unable to progress toward - for at least ten years. Through a combination of creative, effective activities and deep listening, Leslie led me toward articulating what my heart and soul wanted. Then she helped me break the process into manageable stages with concrete action items. Each time we met, she checked in on my progress and what I’d discovered. Gradually over time, I honed my vision and took steps toward it. Within only a few months, I had turned a corner and begun a new chapter of my life. I know I could not have done it without her mentoring. Making this change required me to take risks. Leslie made me feel safe. The path I’ve chosen is my own. Having made a soul aligned life change has unlocked power and joy I didn’t know were inside me. I cannot recommend Leslie and Soul Aligned Mentoring highly enough."
