Co-Founder

Aubrey Lesicki

Aubrey has been studying integrative and wholistic therapy for over 25 years. What started as a healing crisis became a passion for integrating body, mind, and spirit through clinical practice. She initially used this approach to develop breast wellness practices for women (BreastRemedySeattle.com). More recently she is passionate about rebalancing the nervous system as the foundational paradigm shift for 21st century health care.

​The Restorative Anatomy approach is foundational to the effectiveness of the Power of Ease in clinical and community settings. Aubrey brings her passion for studying the intricate details of anatomy into her teaching, bodywork, and clinical practice. Her courses— Restorative Anatomy for Self-Regulation, Introduction to Breast Massage, and Introduction to Cranio-Lymphatic Massage— reflect an emerging model of healthcare that emphasizes nervous system regulation, anatomy-informed self-care, and the body's innate capacity for healing.

​

 A devotion to developing creative, self-healing communities drives her partnership in this work.
