Leslie Jose & Katie O’Connell
Your Guides on this Adventure!
Leslie’s gifts include: Therapeutic Massage, Reiki, Sound Vibration and Shamanic techniques used to support optimal health for clients on the table, in trainings, and at retreats. Her deep connection to Hawaii comes from multiple trainings in Reiki and Lomi Lomi massage on the island of Maui, and it is no wonder, since water has always been a medium strong to Leslie’s world. For years she taught water classes for infants and toddlers, as well as water movement and aerobic classes to elders. She & her brother trained and competed at national & international levels in whitewater kayaking, and she continues to be found in or on the water whenever possible. Leslie developed a technique to utilize her love of water and its qualities in combination with the healing and balancing aspects of massage, range of motion and Reiki. HYDRO~KI is a trademarked technique performed in the water using the qualities of buoyancy, resistance and its ability to conduct & amplify the movement of energy.
Leslie is an active professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association, and she is a Reiki Master Teacher. and is currently enrolled in Yoga Teacher training at Dragonfly Yoga Barn.

Katie is the owner and principle teacher at Dragonfly Yoga Barn Studio & Retreats, is a fun-loving yogi known for singing and jamming with her band The Starlight Honeys, her love of cooking, gardening, and snuggling with her three kitty cats, two kids, husband Declan, and of course, practicing YOGA! She can be found doing yoga in the mountain forest, on a rock, on a paddle board, in a river, on snowshoes, on the beach… anywhere! Katie has always been fascinated by dragonflies–their ability to transform, catch the wind, maneuver spirals and water dips with such grace, always shining iridescent in the sunlight, thus they have become our studio symbol. Offering yoga retreats at Dragonfly Yoga and around the world has been a passion since opening Dragonfly in 2008.
