Meet our Soulhouse partner, who shares with our students her incredible journey.   Lesley never grew up wanting to box.  In her early 20’s she went to a local boxing gym as a way to keep fit and found she had a natural talent and tolerance to punching and getting punched!  At the same time she earned a first class degree in marketing, her job within the music industry at that time involved lots of networking and late nights, a struggle took place but boxing won and she took a risk, a leap of faith. From having never boxed before, within five years Lesley became an ABA champion, won a Gold medal in the EU championships (the first time a female boxer had achieved this on first entry) and represented England and Team GB on several occasions. In addition, she competed in the BBC’s Last Woman Standing series, created, and featured in a documentary on female boxing in her paternal hometown Ghana, and featured in various campaigns and TV shows including Adidas, Channel 4 and Lucozade Sport.  After attending the first ever female GB Olympic selection camp the universe had other plans for Lesley and 2012 Olympics was not to be. As motherhood arrived she set up The Boxing Boutique to offer authentic boxing training programs and made an Olympic sport out of having babies (3 daughters in 5 ½ years!). Through her journey of being trained and training others she identified a connection to boxing and life, and how valuable a tool boxing was to coping with daily struggles and challenges. Boxing became about feeling good holistically instead of just fitness driven results.  "It's not the destination but the journey that defines you".
Recently Lesley founded "Fight Forward"an incredible initiative set up to mentor and empower women who are victims of domestic abuse.  
Lesley partners with Soulhouse to develop a totally unique core mentor program that combines our Presence Training with her experience breaking limits and succeeding beyond all odds as a national champion athlete.

She was a translator for 15 years for various French publishers, translating varied authors from Clive Cussler and Patricia Wentworth to Mother Teresa. 

In 2015, wishing for more human connection in her professional life, she turned to teaching French, French as a second language and English, in international schools.

She started teaching creative writing workshops in 2014 in London and since then, hasn’t stop marvelling at the power of creativity, and how it can transform people’s lives.

She now teaches creative writing and literature in prison (and outside prison!) in the South of France. 

She has been singing in a choir since childhood and did amateur drama for some time, hence her interest for the power of words and that of the human voice.

She is now also specializing in bibliotherapy, alongside French writer Regine Detambel, because she believes books, and creative writing can heal and it’s something she has witnessed in prison.

She speaks French, English, German, some Italian (and studied latin but has rarely the opportunity to use it !)
