Meet Leslie Grace, RN
Leslie Grace, RN, is a transformational coach and guide working at the intersection of conscious sexuality, somatics, and expanded consciousness. She helps leaders and changemakers integrate their deepest shadows and highest aspirations, awakening a more whole, alive, and powerfully integrated version of themselves. She believes that personal transformation is not just for the self, but a ripple that extends outward, empowering individuals to bring their fullest presence and wisdom to positively impact the world.
Leaving behind a constrictive Catholic upbringing and a career in end-of-life care, she immersed herself in plant medicine and sacred sexuality, committing to a life of deep embodiment, truth, and service. Her work integrates Hakomi Somatic Therapy, Tantra, and shamanic healing, guided foremost by her own intuition.
Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she offers both private and group transformational containers, providing a safe and supportive space for you to play at the edges and embrace the timeless wisdom within.

My Training
My work is based on my training in The Hakomi Institute’s
2-year Comprehensive Somatic Psychotherapy program, The Somatica Method of Sex Therapy and Relationship Coaching (celesteanddanielle.com), the Interchange Counseling Institute’s innovative year-long program, and a private multi-year Shamanic Guide training program. I am a Certified Tantric Educator (CTE 2) through the Source School of Tantra Yoga (sourcetantra.com), and ISTA’s Sacred Sexual Shamanic Experience Level 1-2 (schooloftemplearts.org), and Shawn Roop's Certified Tantra Counselor Program, as well as a private mentorship with world-renowned Tantric coach and educator, Triambika MaVive. With 5 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and a degree in Biopsychology and Cognitive Science, I have a deep appreciation for the mind-body connection and how we can utilize our sexuality as a source of healing and personal evolution.
“Leslie is simultaneously immensely nurturing, delightfully playful, and powerfully passionate. In the blend of those elements she is able to meet people where they are and help them open to receiving ever deeper levels of intimacy and affection in their lives.

My Story
Having overcome the shame and repression of my Midwestern religious upbringing and sexual trauma in my teens, my current views on love, sex, and the human experience have been shaped through the study & practice of both Buddhist and Hindu Tantric meditative paths, energy healing techniques, the dance and movement arts, Burning Man culture, extensive world-wide travel, years of exploration in the polyamory/open-relationship community, and through transformational work with various plant medicine teachers. I enjoy an incredibly full and vibrant life here in the Bay Area, cocreating with a loving and supportive community. I'm so blessed to be living my dreams and supporting others in doing the same!
The Spirit of the Dakini
“Dakini is a Tibetan word for a woman who teaches the deep mysteries of Tantra. Her sexuality and her whole being is devoted to the Divine/Existence/your awakening. She uses the power of the feminine, including feminine sexuality, to shatter illusions and bring the client closer to the truth of who s/he is.
Being a Dakini is a deep calling that takes a lifetime of preparation, as the Dakini’s own being is the main vehicle through which the catalyzing happens. By doing her own inner work, the Dakini becomes able to accurately read and potently respond to the awareness needs of the client. For that she uses both ordinary and extraordinary perception and abilities.
