Lesley Baker Bowen grew up in Toledo, OH, and attended Start High School. She moved on to get her BA in Russian, while also studying music (piano, viola, and classical guitar) and completing pre-med requirements at Wittenberg University. During her time at Wittenberg, Lesley was also on the volleyball team and rowed on the crew team. Lesley then continued with her Masters degree at The Ohio State University in Occupational Therapy. She has been an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) since 2007. Occupational Therapy has been a perfect stepping stone for Lesley in reaching her lifelong dreams of helping others in any way she can. Always drawn to a holistic approach to wellness, she has since become a Reiki Master and CranioSacral Therapy Practitioner, and uses many other modalities in helping herself and others along their wellness journeys. Lesley is very much looking forward to bringing a long time vision to life. As the founder and director of Holistic Hands Wellness Gallery, she is beyond excited to be working with great minds and open hearts while serving UT and the community!

Shauna Gilsdorf E-RYT-500, CVMT, YACEP, MHP, Reiki Practitioner, discovered her passion for the spiritual discipline of yoga at a young age. Born into a family who believed in the power of the mind/body/spirit connection, she was intrigued and compelled to learn all she could. Shauna is an experienced Himalyan Institute 500 hour teacher and a certified Vishoka meditation teacher (CVMT). She has studied the path of yoga with respected teachers Pandit Rajmani Tigunait, Rolf Sovik, Ishan Tigunait, Shari Friedrichsen, Sandra Anderson, and Judy Moulton. Her journey to the Himalyan Institute guided her to demonstrate the daily art of connecting to something bigger. Shauna believes the inner journey is the ultimate purpose of life and openly shares her wisdom while teaching from her heart. Her classes will be challenging mentally and physically in a genuinely caring and supportive manner. Shauna is a mother of four and is happily married to her best friend, Thad. Dedicated to a life of service, Shauna is a Mental Health Professional and works on an adolescent psychiatric unit. Constantly inspired by her teachers and students, Shauna continues her study of yoga as she believes the best teachers remain lifelong students.
