My Story
I’m on a mission to help people break free from the Big Lie – the B.S. messaging that our inherent human condition is a “problem” that “needs fixing”.
The day you were born, you were 100% worthy. And today, you are still 100% worthy.
But in between the day you were born and where you are now, you’re bombarded by false messaging – things like you’re “not good enough, bad, unworthy”. And the mind internalizes these messages, as if they’re true.
I get it, I know exactly what you’re going through. How? Because I first heard this same messaging as a little girl – from family, religion, school, media, culture.
I felt confused and angry, stuffing how I felt down deep inside and hiding my voice. And then I added in alcohol – trying for decades to drown out feelings of “never good enough”, unworthy, shame.
I came to life coaching in 2019 after I stopped drinking in 2018, realizing that I wanted to help others by combining my lived experiences with formalized coach training.
As a skilled Certified Life / Mindset Coach, I teach private clients how to embrace their personal authority and make changes because they want to – not from thinking they're "broken" and need to be “fixed”.
I also leverage my traditional education – a Masters Degree in Management and Bachelors Degree in Business Finance – with decades of corporate experience to serve progressive, visionary businesses that want to truly make a difference for their employees.

My clients say
"Leigh has completely transformed the way I look at myself. I love her compassion and comforting style of coaching, and I always felt incredibly safe. Right from the get go, Leigh listened, without judgment. Nothing I said or asked was too much. I was able to really question what was going on. I have had a shift around the way I think and how it has been affecting me. I'm now able to look at and process my thoughts differently, without judgment or beating myself up. This is a huge shift. Thank you so, so very much, Leigh."

"These coaching concepts were completely new to me. But you kept the concepts simple, and using stories and anecdotes to illustrate them in real life was helpful and eye-opening."
