Hey honey, I'm Leah!
In the last 10 years I have overcome addiction, left a job that didn’t value me to work for myself, traveled across the country and internationally as a solo woman, started a brick and mortar, got dumped in a major way, stepped away from my business, had my home ransacked, left everything behind for a new life, healed my womb, got unexpectedly pregnant, recovered from an abortion and a car accident,
I had a very adventurous childhood,
experienced true poverty, found myself through a deep level of healing, and transformed my business to be totally virtual and community-based.
Every moment of it has taught me something special, and each experience has impacted the way I approach healing, my work with clients, writing, and showing up in the world.
