Bio
Leneé Cook-Braxton, M.S., RYT has been dancing since she learned how to walk. Born in Los Angeles, CA (a worldwide dance hub) and raised in Durham, NC (home of the American Dance Festival), movement is a part of Leneé’s spirit. In 1996, Leneé made history as the youngest captain for the Inaugural NFL Carolina Panthers Cheerleader Squad. In August of 2000, after experiencing paralysis on the left side of her body, Leneé received a heartbreaking diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis. Grateful to utilize her dance and Kinesiology education, Leneé regained mobility and strength in what her doctors deemed “record timing”. During one of the most challenging times in her life, God showed Leneé that incorporating Complementary and Alternative (CAM) Therapies into her treatment plan would be instrumental for her continued healing and well-being.
Leneé obtained her Bachelor’s Degree in Dance, her Master’s Degree in Exercise Science with a concentration in Sport Psychology, and is simultaneously pursuing her Ph.D. in Mind-Body Medicine and M.A. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
