HEART TO HEART HEALING:
Every session is a time and space for you to bring your attention to the tension in your life and body. This results in transformation, clarity and agency that you bring into your day to day life for authentic connection, balance and compassion in all your relationships.
I work with folx who have experienced separation, loss, othering, childhood neglect and abandonment and/or have been asked to bear the unbearable.
I work with heart warriors (those who have been wounded in heart) who are actively returning to or seeking a return to embodied wholeness.
Other areas of focus I support you with are trauma, anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem, self-worth, grief, embodiment, energy body awareness, emotional processing and integration.
Along with offering you Compassionate Inquiry, I also draw from Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal Theory, Transpersonal Energy Healing, Intuitive Energy Healing and Aloha.
If you are ready to deepen or start your healing journey and practice, book a complimentary phone call today to begin.
I work with people worldwide. All sessions are currently through zoom.

MESSAGE FROM LEIGH:
Hello and welcome. My name is Leigh. In the sessions, I practice with unconditional positive regard and deep faith in your birthright to connect with your heart body wisdom and wholeness. I see healing as a creative unfolding in embodied connection and balance.
We are wounded in relationship and we heal in relationship. The sessions gently invite you into connection and balance with yourself. The healing process is creative and honors your presence.
Energy flows when you allow yourself to be and embrace who you truly are. This is a profound process of vulnerability, authenticity and expansion. I am honored to connect with you and share the healing approaches with you, heart to heart.
My healing journey goes back to my own separation with my parents beginning at 5 weeks old. Throughout my decades of receiving therapy and immersing myself in healing arts, I have a deep gratitude and understanding of how empathy, attunement, unconditional positive regard and compassion play a powerful role in healing and returning to conscious, embodied wholeness. My experience of these qualities from the healing practitioners I have and do work with is foundational to my sincere passion of offering them to you on your healing journey.
My professional trainings are rooted in creativity, yoga, energy healing, neuroscience and education. I was also drawn to Gabor Maté’s trauma integrating healing work. His approach on welcoming and being in relationship with our wounds compassionately sparked awareness deep within me that continues to result in ongoing healing for myself and those I work with in sessions.
I am here to support you on your healing journey. I believe in your birthright to connect with your heart body wisdom and wholeness.
In our work together, we honor both your intention and your pace. Your system leads the sessions. By exploring your somatic experience with gentleness, curiosity and presence, you are compassionately invited into deeper connection with yourself in the unique and precise ways you need. In this way, pain and suffering become guides to your embodied heart body wisdom and wholeness.
Aloha
Leigh Heart Peace
