FROM LEIGH
I believe we are wounded in relationship and we heal in relationship. That one idea is at the root of everything I offer. Not as a theory. As something I have lived.
My own healing journey began at five weeks old, when I was separated from my parents. That early experience shaped me in ways I did not begin to understand until much later, and much of the deepest healing I have done myself has happened at a pre-verbal, somatic level. Talk therapy helped. It also had its limits. What moved things at a different depth was body-based, relational, and slow in the best possible way.
That is what I bring to this work.
I am a certified Compassionate Inquiry practitioner, trained under Dr. Gabor Maté. His teaching on meeting our wounds with compassion rather than managing them awakened something in me that I had not found anywhere else. It changed my life and it changed how I accompany others.
Over more than a decade working in healing spaces, I have come to trust one thing above all: the wisdom is already in you. My role is not to fix or direct. It is to offer presence, curiosity, and a space where what has been held in silence can finally be heard.
I work with attorneys who are ready to go beneath the performance. Who sense that the composure they have spent years perfecting is costing them something they cannot quite name. Who are, in their own way, already on this path.
If that is you, I am glad you found your way here.
