About Leanne
Who am I?
Am I my roles? Am I my circumstances? Am I my accomplishments or perceived failures?
I do know, I’m a spiritual being, a student of Earth-school,
a female in my late-fifties, who’s learning to accept the realities of aging.
I am a mother of three amazing adult children, whom I love with all my heart.
I am a survivor, healing from a lifetime of wounds.
I am an E-RYT 200, RYT 500, YACEP Yoga and Mindfulness Teacher.
I share these practices because I wholeheartedly believe in their ability
to create health & well-being in Mind, Body & Spirit.
I am a Certified Holistic Coach.
As a coach, I'm here to listen, witness, support,
to help you come to your own conclusions, by assisting your exploration,
and helping you connect with your deeper and highest self.
I am a Songwriter.
Songwriting was born out of my desire to heal from a lifetime of challenging circumstances.
I have written and recorded a few of my original songs, which you can find
on sites like Spotify, Pandora, Amazon & Apple Music.
I am a Dancer.
Dancing was my refuge as a child. I still find comfort and joy in moving to music.
I was a professional dancer for a few years and taught dance, (ballet, jazz, modern) for over 20 years.
I am a Designer.
I have a degree in Interior Design and worked in the commercial design industry off and on for many years.
Now, I just decorate my own personal spaces for efficiency and beauty.
I am a nature lover and love spending time in nature.
I do what I can to care for the Earth and all it's living beings.
I am a playful spirit.
I Am.
