Client Testimonials
Experiencing Compassionate Inquiry Sessions with Leigh was transformational in ways I could have never predicted. The process immersed me within areas of my psyche that I had not previously been fully aware of and I left each session feeling like I had discovered something new. I felt safe and supported in opening up to my subconscious mind and emotional body. The presence, compassion, and guidance that Leigh provided allowed me to relax into myself in significant ways. I felt fully held and accepted by Leigh, and therefore was able to experience inner holding and acceptance from within myself. I would recommend Leigh to anyone who is looking to explore themselves in new ways and receive the alchemical medicine of Compassionate Inquiry.
- Lillian S., Brooklyn, N.Y.
During my process towards certification I had four beautiful Compassionate Inquiry Mentoring Sessions with Leigh. I really believed she held my heart. It was such a gentle, safe space to be fully seen and nurtured. I can not thank her enough for such therapeutic, relational work. I was honored to be her client.
Not only did she support me relationally her documented notes following the session were wonderfully thorough and invaluable. She improved my confidence and gently highlighted my gifts. During my final session she reviewed my video and sent me a comprehensive report with general comments, strengths, points to practice and possible further self inquiry work. I would highly recommend mentoring sessions with Leigh.

Compassionate Inquiry Honoring Sessions are for you if…
you need dedicate time and space (sessions) to honor a process you are growing through (life changes, loss, challenges, tension, triggers, confusion)
you need support and guidance to reconnect with yourself
traditional therapy or other healing experiences have offered you a lot and you are now wanting/needing more
you are ready to connect with your heart and body
you are ready to explore the wisdom of your body
you are ready and committed to being curious about difficult emotions, outdated beliefs and coping that is no longer serving you
you are ready for a deeper clarity and freedom from suffering (new choices and options rather than the same habitual struggles)
you are ready for a more harmonious relationship with yourself, others and the world
Compassionate Inquiry is a somatic, psychotherapeutic approach developed by Gabor Maté and Sat Dharam that reveals what lies beneath the appearance we present to the world.
Using Compassionate Inquiry, both the individual and practitioner unveil the level of consciousness, mental climate, hidden assumptions, implicit memories and body states that form the real message that words both express and conceal.
Through Compassionate Inquiry, the person/client can recognize the unconscious dynamics that run their lives and how to liberate themselves from them.
It is a revolutionary approach that draws upon the fields of interpersonal neurobiology, epigenetics, polyvagal and social engagement theory, internal family systems, the understanding and research of trauma, the body-stress connection, and somatic practices all held by a strong and crucial emphasis in presence, safety, and compassion.
The purpose of Compassionate Inquiry is to drill down to the core stories people tell themselves – to get them to see what story they are telling themselves unconsciously; what those beliefs are, where they came from; and guide them to the possibility of letting go of those stories, or letting go of the hold those stories have on them …
That’s what Compassionate Inquiry is.
~ Dr. Gabor Maté
Intention
To share the Compassionate Inquiry somatic healing approach, developed by Dr. Gabor Maté, so that individuals can connect to the truth within themselves in the present moment, become free from self-generated suffering, and gain insight, clarity and choice in their behaviour.
Vision
To bring compassion, respect, acceptance, insight, healing, freedom and connection to humanity.
As I gradually learned to be true to myself and succeeded in admitting my own feelings, the language of my body spoke out more and more clearly and guided me toward decisions that did it good and helped it to express its natural needs.
~ Alice Miller
When a safe, conscious, relational context is offered and trauma-informed care is present, healing can unfold and traumatic experiences can be transformed into resilience, strength, wisdom, and greater communal awakening.
