Meet Leah
Hey there! I’m Leah, a Transformational Coach.
I was born, raised, and still live on my families cooperative, organic farm in Arundel with my husband, our three children and extended family. Growing up on an organic farm, I learned the importance of good food, and the grounding that comes from being in nature and digging in the dirt. I have been interested in health and wellness for as long as I can remember but it wasn’t until the fall of 2014 that I finally decided to seek training and use this passion to support others on their wellness journey.
After the birth of my 3rd child and a family crisis, I realized that I had become disconnected from my true self. I was exhausted, anxious, and overwhelmed by the demands of daily living. I recognized that I was putting my attention on the wrong things in life and I knew I couldn’t continue as I was. I then began a journey to reconnect with inner self, and follow my passion for health and wellbeing.
After graduating from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition as a Holistic Life Coach in 2014 I went on to study and receive certification in Reiki and EFT (the Emotional Freedom Technique) so that I could more deeply support my clients to address the energetic and emotional aspects of their issues. In my continued desire to support myself and my clients to go deeper, I became certified as a Sacred Depths Transformational Coach in January of 2022. Most recently I have become a mater facilitator of PSYCH-K and the Core Gift process. When working with clients, I have a supportive, easy going approach that allows clients to easily access and work on their issues. Aside from my formal training, I draw from the wisdom I have attained through my life experience.
I have a BA in Environmental Science, I have over 20 years experience teaching in various settings, I was a Doula and Birthing From Within Childbirth Educator, a farmer and CSA owner, and I have traveled all over the world. I believe that our health is restored when we learn to live in alignment with our inner being. I am passionate about supporting people to reconnect with who they are, let go of limiting beliefs, change their patterns and ways of thinking, and help them regain their power to live their truth and create the life they desire.
I work with clients on an individual basis as well as in groups through workshops, wellness retreats, and my Women’s Wellness Circles. The magic that happens when a group of women come together to grow and heal is powerful! I absolutely LOVE what I do!
“Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you - all of the expectations, all of the beliefs, and becoming who you are.” - Rachel Naomi Remen
Are you ready to look within?
The Heart
Our logo tells a story.... As I was tapping our maple trees for their sweet sap one spring, I got thinking about this sap and how it is much like blood in the human body. Sap carries water, nutrients, minerals, and hormones that the tree needs to survive and grow.
I also got thinking about how you can learn a lot about a tree by taking a closer look inside. Have you ever looked at tree rings when a tree was cut down? Each ring represents a year in the tree's life. Some rings are close together, some far apart, some thick, some lopsided, and others round. These rings develop in these ways depending on what is happening in the trees life....was there a drought? To much water? Where conditions perfect? How much nutrients did it get? What about sunshine? Was it invaded by pests?
Just like with trees, you can learn a lot about a human and what they need by taking a look inside. What is out of balance? What is going well? What patterns have you created? What traumas have you experienced? What are your strengths? What do you need to thrive?
Inner Wisdom is something we will learn to listen to and cultivate throughout our entire lives.
What story does your treeprint have to tell?
Tap into your inner wisdom like tapping the sap of a tree.
I chose the shape of a heart because really, everything changes when we learn to follow our hearts!
