Lesley Seto

Registered Dietitian (MSc.A, RD), Certified Katonah Yoga Instructor, Emotion & Body Code Practitioner, NAET Practitioner, Spinal Flow Technique Practitioner

My mission is to help people who feel stuck—emotionally, physically, or energetically—to find clarity, relief, and deeper freedom by uncovering the root causes behind their discomfort.

My own healing began with years of digestive issues, hormone imbalances, and stubborn back pain. I cleaned up my diet, healed my gut, and made lifestyle changes, but symptoms still returned randomly. Eventually, I learned my body wasn’t failing—it was speaking. The deeper patterns of overextending, staying silent, and carrying what wasn’t mine were reflected in my physical symptoms.

That realization led me to explore emotional and energetic healing, functional nutrition, and modalities like Spinal Flow, NAET, the Emotion & Body Code, belief work, and Katonah Yoga. I discovered how intimately food, emotional energy, and the nervous system are connected.

Now, through Embodhi Self-Healing, I guide clients through their own transformations, helping them release stress, shift limiting beliefs, nourish their bodies, and return to a state of grounded clarity.

My approach is whole-person, root-cause healing for those who want to feel aligned, at ease, and deeply themselves.

Discovery Call

Lesley practicing Katonah Yoga with one of her students

The Katonah Yoga practice found Lesley in Edmonton, AB in 2016. She practiced and trained under Kat Villain with additional training from the founder of Katonah Yoga, Nevine Michaan. What drew her initially to this style of yoga was the formality of the practice that helped her to tune in and realign her body to relieve 7 years of sciatic nerve pain due to scoliosis.

It was through her Katonah Yoga journey that she understood that it is up to each of us to participate in our own physical and mental well-being. The communal aspect of the practice and its ability to align mind and body to bring new insights and perspectives on life have kept her practicing daily. Katonah's use of metaphors, myths and magic led Lesley to realize her potential and resulted in the creation of Embodhi Self-Healing so she could share the joy Katonah Yoga has to offer and fuse it with her love for nutrition and energy healing.

Lesley offers group yoga classes, private yoga classes, and corporate classes to teach her community how to achieve greater physical, mental, and emotional alignment in their lives.

Core Values

Root-Cause Healing

We don’t treat symptoms—we uncover what created them. By addressing the underlying beliefs, emotions, and behaviors at the root of dis-ease, we create lasting transformation in your body, mind, and life.

Empowered Awareness

True change begins with awareness. Through intuitive guidance and nervous system support, we help you understand the subconscious patterns shaping your reality—so you can consciously choose something different.

Connection

We hold space with warmth, presence, and deep respect. Healing happens in relationship—with your body, your beliefs, and those who walk beside you. We honour your process and your pace.

Nourish Deeply. Flow Freely. Live Fully

What People are Saying about Lesley

Testimonials

...my knees have regained movement, they’re stronger and more flexible.

"I lost the ability to walk pain free beyond 40 minutes and had weakness in the knees and hips due to osteoarthritis. I was already practicing yoga at the gym, but found Katonah yoga positions were held longer, which improved my mobility. I really liked that Lesley gives each student personal attention and offers hands on adjustments so that each posture is positioned correctly.

After a year of taking her group classes and now doing online classes, my knees have regained movement, they’re stronger and more flexible. I am now able to practice more advanced postures and have a better understanding of my body’s alignment and how to catch and correct myself. In another yoga class, the instructor commented that my flexibility and strength had really improved and asked what I was doing different. I explained that I was practicing Katonah yoga with Lesley!"

I would highly recommend...

Lesley’s 1:1 yoga sessions because they allow you to learn about your body at your pace and give you the ability to build independence to take care of your body on your own. I always have the option to return to 1:1 sessions to learn more or ensure that I haven't returned to old habits and patterns of body movement. I was living with years of chronic back pain and had developed a well thought out pain management plan. However, after working with Lesley, I have experienced so much more relief that I can control with a customized daily routine instead of needing chiropractic or regular massage treatments.
