About Lesley Sevillena
In 2013, I got divorced and found myself lost and unable to manage my life physically and mentally. I was never taught any life skills to manage my stress and here I was, with two kids (5 and 3) trying to figure it all out alone. I knew at the time I had to prioritize my health in order to take care of my kids.
I saw many doctors to help me with how I was feeling, only to be dismissed as a stressed-out working mom with two kids. No one was listening or had any interest to dive deeper into providing me with any tools to feel like myself again. In the five minutes of time they gave me, the only solution any doctor would ever provide was in the form of a pill (and it was always the birth control pill).
I was determined to do my own research and begin a path to healing.
I began meditating, reading, listening to podcasts, and eating healthier. I made a lot of lifestyle changes and began to heal physically, emotionally, spiritually, and mentally. At that point in my life, my driving force was to ensure that my son and daughter had the knowledge that I was only now discovering through my own personal experiences.
How Healing Mindfully all started…
I want Alex and Ava to have all of the life skills and tools that they will not learn in school in order to persevere. I only started doing the work because I felt like I hit rock bottom. I knew I wasn’t living my optimal life and I wanted to stop struggling. I want them to understand how toxic our food industry is in order to encourage healthier choices. I want them to live a life free from sickness and chronic disease. I want them to be mindful and know how to deal with emotional stress. So in 2015, I decided to create a binder that included all of the resources to help them in life called “Mommy’s Book of Knowledge.''
Our current healthcare model failed me and I know it is failing most women. And that is why I am mission driven to provide a service that is like no other for all women.
I launched my business in 2021 and this is when Healing Mindfully came to life. I know that I’m not the only mom who wants to be a better role model for their children. I know I’m not the only woman who is confused on where to begin or what to believe. These are the reasons why I am here. I initially started this business just for moms, but I have pivoted to now focus on building resilient bodies for all midlife women in order to improve their bone health in the future.
I am motivated to share with other women my life story and the solutions I have come up with along the way. I want women all over the world to know that prioritizing their health is important and POSSIBLE. I know how much time, energy, money, and effort it takes to make healthier choices, and I am here to make the journey easier for you to begin Healing Mindfully!
