Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here. I’m Leslie Thompson, and I wanted to share a little bit of the heart behind Root & Restore Health Coaching.

My journey into health coaching wasn’t something I originally planned. It grew out of my own search for answers and a desire to better understand the why behind our health.

Like so many people, I found myself navigating health challenges that didn’t always fit neatly into a box. I wanted to understand more than simply what I was experiencing—I wanted to understand why. That curiosity eventually led me to functional medicine and changed the way I thought about health and wellness.

Along the way, I began to see just how interconnected our health can be—from nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress to our environment, relationships, and the everyday habits that shape our lives.

But I also learned something equally important: knowing what to do and actually making it work in real life are two very different things.

That realization is what ultimately drew me to health coaching.

I wanted to help bridge the gap between information and action—to create a space where people feel heard, supported, and empowered to make meaningful changes without feeling like they have to overhaul their entire lives overnight.

As your health coach, my role isn't to hand you a perfect plan or tell you how you should live. Instead, I come alongside you to help you uncover what matters most, recognize your strengths, work through the things that may be holding you back, and turn your goals into realistic, sustainable steps.

Because your health is personal.

Your path forward should be, too.
