Heal, Transform, Become

My name is Leigh Knittle, and I founded Fleur-de-Leigh Wholeness Institute (FDLWI) after transcending a near death experience and transforming my life on every level: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I now see this experience as a birthing of a beautiful higher version of myself and as an awakening as much as a healing.

​

In my young adult years, I was on a spiritual path. I had found yoga in the late 1980s/early 1990s and had a beautiful spiritual experience while doing yoga on top of a mountain in Italy. After deciding against going to medical school, I completed the Master's of Arts Program in the Humanities with an emphasis on Literature and Gender at the University of Chicago and, then, took a "temporary" and demanding job in medical publications. Once the job became global, I had little time for practice and my health began to deteriorate.

​

In the Spring of 2020, my physical health had become severely compromised, and, for months, I was trying to survive every day. I believe I was among the first in the US with long-haul Covid as well as a few other things. While I had experienced a beautiful, transcendent experience late Summer doing long meditations multiple times a day, that alone did not significantly change my daily experience. After the loss of a pet and a move, I was not able to stand for more than a few minutes, digesting food became difficult, and I was in a wheelchair with full-time assistance. Traditional western medicine said they couldn't help. I spoke to a medical intuitive who said, "I can't connect with you, you're not in your body. I want your to get a BEST Practitioner and the book The Energy Codes." 

 

I began receiving weekly, remote BEST (Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique) treatments from a BEST Practitioner who was a life-line for me, listened to the Energy Codes Book, by Dr. Sue Morter, found an incredible functional neurologist, and graduated from the wheelchair to the walker. I dedicated myself to the Energy codes Practices, attended online Energy Codes Workshops, continued receiving BEST Treatments, and found a few other functional or wholistic practitioners and exercises. After doing numerous repetitions of an exercise meant to retrain the limbic system with my walker alone in my apartment one night, I awoke the next morning and no longer needed the walker. 

 

I lived these practices and exercises day in and day out and continued to receive BEST treatments, walk, meditate, and do BodyAwake Yoga. I not only kept improving physically, I, also, healed mental conditions that had developed during the trauma like PTSD, anxiety, and OCD. I experienced and continue to experience beautiful openings along the way and felt a greater connection to myself again and my own love as well as universal or divine love. 

​

In 2023, I travelled to Egypt on a spiritual site trip with my teacher and community, moved to the Big Island of Hawaii, and founded Fleur-de-Leigh Wholeness Institute to help others heal, transform, and live their best lives; to harmonize humanity, one person at a time. 

I became a certified BEST Practitioner, an Energy Codes Remote Healer, a Group Facilitator of the Energy Codes teachings and practices, a Spiritual BEST Practitioner, and, most recently, a BodyAwake Yoga and RYT-200 Yoga Instructor. ​

​

I live more intuitively than before (trying to solve everything with the mind) and have cultivated the ability to sense, feel, and work with my subtle energy for embodiment rather than unconsciously dispersing it. If I feel disconnected or experience a challenge, I know I need to enliven or build new circuitry, so that I can embody more, and I know where and how to do that. This affects how I relate to challenges and allows a more beautiful life experience to unfold.

​

My intention with FDLWI is to help people more than heal. Heal, yes, and awaken as their most magnificent selves and expression in the world. First, we must embody. These practices, treatments, and classes can help you do exactly that. Let's begin your journey to wholeness, together.
