Rise Strong - In Health, In Life, In You

Simple, sustainable support for your hormones, health and home through women’s wellness coaching and sourdough workshops.

You’re doing your best - but between the symptoms, the stress and the nonstop noise about what you “should” be doing for your health… It feels like a lot.

And honestly? Most of it doesn’t feel doable in real life.

I’ve been there too.

I’m Jillian Leslie, and Rising Raven was created from a place of deep personal healing, growth and resilience.

After going through my own life changes including coping with grief, managing hormones and rediscovering my identity, I found myself craving simplicity.

Because of my background in food sciences and nutrition, I started with food. Then I leaned into wellness habits that felt grounding and I learned to trust my body again.

Now, I help other women do the same through practical tools, encouraging support and the reminder that you don’t have to figure this all out on your own.

Less noise. More nourishment - but the kind that actually fits into real life.

Why Rising Raven?

This isn’t just a name.

Ravens are more than just birds - they’re known for their intelligence, resilience and quiet strength. They adapt, learn and are often seen as messengers between worlds.

I see them as a reflection of the transformation so many women experience as they move through different seasons of life.

Rising Raven was born from deep meaning and personal loss. It honors my brother’s memory and strong spirit. It represents the strength, growth and wisdom we gain as we navigate life’s hardest transitions.

Whether through the nourishment of homemade food, the clarity that comes with understanding your body or the steady support of simple wellness practices, this space exists to help women rise.

We embrace change.
We trust the process.

Feel better in your body -
without the overwhelm

Whether you’re dealing with PMS, perimenopause, low energy, brain fog or just feel like your body isn’t “on your side” anymore…

I’m here to help you sort through the noise and get back to feeling like you.

  • Understanding your hormones and cycle

  • Nutrition that supports your body - not restricts it

  • Building lifestyle habits that actually feel good

  • Recipes, meal planning & realistic strategies for your season of life

This isn’t about a perfect plan. It’s about simple shifts, steady support and learning what your body actually needs.

Here’s what we focus on:

We start small and
we start where you are.
I’ve got you.

Whether it’s figuring out your hormones, starting your first loaf of bread or building simple habits that actually last - I’m here to help you rise, one step at a time.

Sourdough That Feels Like Home ✨

Sourdough That Feels Like Home ✨

I honestly never set out to teach sourdough but when I shared my own baking journey - started in a season of grief, as a calming, grounding ritual…

…but people kept asking, “Can you teach me?”

So I said yes, and here we are.

These workshops are approachable, hands-on and welcoming to anyone who’s curious but unsure where to begin.

“Like sourdough, your health just needs the right ingredients, a little time and some trust in the process.”

This space is about rising - through real food, practical wellness and the kind of support that reminds you that you’re never doing this alone.
