Dr. Monica Lesslie PT, DPT, CFRp,  MFDc, CYT-500, FRCms

The only recognized Physical Therapist, Master Yoga Teacher, and Ayurvedic Wellness Counselor in the United States, Monica’s work as a healer began with a Doctorate in Physical Therapy from Ithaca College in 2008, cultivating a strong focus on orthopedics, sports medicine, and chronic pain rehabilitation. As her experience deepened, she discovered the immense value of a holistic approach, combined with conscious listening and connection, in unlocking an individual’s healing potential.

Devoting her life to creating a full-spectrum skill set, Monica has explored human potential around the globe by assisting in physical therapy service projects for children with disabilities in Antigua, studying Traditional Chinese Medicine in China, volunteering with physiotherapists in New Zealand, immersing herself in Hindu and Buddhist culture while trekking through the Himalayan Mountains in Nepal, and summiting Mt. Kilimanjaro, to name a few. One of her most challenging endeavors included volunteering as the guest Doctor of Physical Therapy at Kwa Mkono Polio Hostel, where she worked with 48 children near Handeni, Tanzania.

It has been through her passion and curiosity for life that Monica discovered her true, authentic self and purpose. She continued to expand with a life-changing 500-hour Master Yoga Training in Bali, studying Ayurvedic Wellness in California and India, training in various bodywork techniques across both coasts of the U.S., becoming one of the first 20 physical therapists to be Myofascial Decompression Certified (Cuptherapy.com), and now bridging the gap between Eastern and Western philosophies with Cortical Field Reeducation work. The latter may be one of her most important endeavors, as it completes the circle of her approach to healing at the highest level. Monica is also the official Ambassador of Entrainment Yoga to the United States, where she can certify others to teach this beautifully awakening practice.

Monica endlessly pursues new ways to grow and enhance her experience and contribution to this earth. Through her strong teachings, she empowers others to Live Their Bliss and access their highest vitality—just as she strives to do every day.
