Leslie McKenna has spent four decades cultivating a practice rooted in attention, presence, and the intelligence of the body. Known first as the chef behind Feast in the Garden, her work has always been about more than food — it has been about creating conditions for people to feel genuinely nourished.
Her introduction to Biofield Tuning came through her own healing journey. After experiencing the method's effects firsthand, she trained formally in the Biofield Tuning method developed by Eileen McKusick, completing both foundational and advanced practitioner training.
She brings to her sound healing practice the same qualities her dinner guests have always known: a quality of listening that is rare, a deep respect for the body's own wisdom, and a refusal to rush.
"The body knows how to heal. My job is simply to help it remember."
— Leslie McKenna
Sound healing using calibrated tuning forks to locate and resolve areas of incoherence in the body's electromagnetic field. In-person and remote sessions available on the Central Coast of California.
Book a SessionDeveloped by researcher and practitioner Eileen McKusick, Biofield Tuning is a sound-based therapeutic method that works with the body's bioelectric field. Leslie has trained directly in this method and brings it to her practice with the same quiet precision she brings to everything she does.
Every living body generates an electromagnetic field — a biofield — that extends several feet beyond the physical form. This field holds a record of our experiences, emotions, and patterns, encoded as areas of coherence or incoherence in the signal.
A calibrated tuning fork, when struck, produces a precise, stable frequency. When brought into the biofield, it acts as a kind of sonar — the fork's tone changes in response to areas of static, density, or disruption, making the invisible audible.
Leslie works methodically through the field, combing from the outer edges inward. Where the fork encounters resistance or distortion, she works gently to resolve it — returning that area of the field to a cleaner, more coherent vibration.
As the field comes into greater coherence, the body often responds — releasing held tension, shifting emotional tone, or simply settling into a deeper quiet. Many clients report feeling lighter, clearer, or more grounded in the days that follow.
A gentle first encounter with Biofield Tuning. We begin with a brief intake conversation, then Leslie works along the edges of your energy field with calibrated tuning forks, listening for areas of tension, resistance, or static. Ideal for those new to sound healing.
The core Biofield Tuning experience. Leslie works systematically through the biofield — the electromagnetic field that surrounds and interpenetrates the body — combing for areas of incoherence and returning them to a state of greater order and flow.
For those working through a specific pattern, transition, or long-held tension. This extended session allows time to go deeper into a particular area of the field — emotional, physical, or energetic — with more space for integration and reflection.
Biofield Tuning works equally well at a distance. Leslie conducts the session remotely while you rest comfortably at home. Sessions are held via phone or video call, with the same depth and attentiveness as in-person work.
"I came in skeptical and left genuinely moved. Something shifted in my chest that I'd been carrying for years. I don't have a better explanation than that."
"Leslie has a quality of attention that is rare. The session was quiet and precise — nothing theatrical. I slept better that night than I had in months."
"I've tried many modalities over the years. Biofield Tuning with Leslie is unlike anything else. It works on a level I can feel but can't quite articulate."
"The distance session surprised me most. I was at home, completely relaxed, and the effects were just as real as when I'd come in person."
"After my first session I noticed I was less reactive — like the volume on my nervous system had been turned down a notch. I've been coming back ever since."
