Leslie A Banks | Full Spectrum Creative is thriving on creativity in everyday mothering, home educating, and healing. She is passionately navigating her family through generational healing utilizing a naturopathic lifestyle. Since she was a Michigan-grown young girl, her favorite “toys” were art supplies. Leslie squeezes pockets of artistic expression into her days to stay centered—even when her pockets have holes! This includes writing to connect with people through shared stories and experiences at LeslieABanks.substack.com, helping other writers with their work, photography, illustration, graphic design, watercolor painting, collage and crochet. None of these are possible without her daily cup of ceylon tea with slices of ginger and lemon, and a heaping blob of raw honey.

Nature Journaling combines two elements that bring Leslie the most grounding peace and spiritual guidance: communing with nature and art. She enjoys helping others access this calm that comes from engaging their inner creative as a holistic path to well-being. Homeschooling her 12- and 8-year-old daughters since the beginning, their eclectic approach to life learning is rooted in art and creativity, using journaling to document most areas of study.
