Nice to meet you.
Hi, I’m Leah.
I believe there is more to life than simply getting through it.
I know what it feels like to look around at a life that seems perfectly acceptable and still have something deep inside whispering, There has to be more than this.
My own path has taken me through recovery, coaching, hypnosis, breathwork, and a move from Chicago to Costa Rica. More than anything, it has taught me how much can change when we stop judging ourselves and start getting curious about what is really going on underneath.
How I Got Here
For a long time, I thought the life I was living was just…life.
Go to work. Punch out. Pour a drink. Turn on the TV and stay there for hours until it was time to pass out. Friday night cocktails. Recover on Saturday, pushing through when I needed to. Sunday was errands and chores.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Nothing looked dramatic enough for me to call it a problem. I was working. I was taking care of what needed to get done. But somewhere underneath all of that, I knew there had to be more. I just didn’t know what “more” was or how to find it.
I remember reading a book one day and saying to my coach, “I just realized…if I’m reading a book about this, I’m not alone. They didn’t write this book just for me.”
That realization stayed with me.
You are not broken. You don’t need fixing. You are enough.
Curiosity instead of judgment.
A Different Way to Change
What changed my life wasn’t one magical method. It was finding the right people and the right tools.
Coaching helped me feel seen, heard, and valued. Hypnosis helped me let go of things I didn’t even realize I was carrying. I couldn’t always explain what had changed. I just knew I felt lighter.
And breathwork brought another layer of healing. I experienced powerful emotional releases, including things that felt connected to burdens passed down through generations.
Curiosity instead of judgment is at the heart of how I work. Instead of asking yourself, “What’s wrong with me?” what if you started asking, “Why do I keep doing this? What’s really going on here?”
Sometimes changing the questions we ask ourselves is where change begins.
The goal isn’t to fix you. (Surprise! You aren’t broken!) It’s to help you find you again.
What might we discover beneath the things we do?

A Little More About Me
When I’m not working…
These days, I live in Costa Rica, building a life that looks very different from the one I once accepted as normal.
I love experiencing new things, exploring different areas, relearning Spanish (bilingual here we come!), great coffee, meaningful conversations, laughter, and the moments that remind me there is still so much life to experience.
I’m still figuring things out too. I don’t believe growth means arriving at some perfect, finished version of yourself. I think it’s learning to listen to yourself, stay curious, and keep choosing what feels true for you.
I’d love to connect with you and hear a little more about what brought you here.
If something here feels familiar…
Maybe you’re ready to make a change. Maybe you’re not even sure what you want yet. Either way, I’d love to hear your story, what’s going on in your life, and what you’d like to be different.
Let’s have a conversation and see where it takes us.
