Why Heal with Leah?

Many people try to heal through the mind alone, yet experiences like trauma, chronic stress, neglect, abandonment, and painful beliefs often live in the body. That’s why my work focuses on healing from the body up. Through somatic practices, nervous system awareness, and inner parts psychotherapy, you’ll learn how to reconnect with your body’s natural capacity to process, release, and transform what has been held for too long. When the body feels safe, real and lasting change becomes possible.

My approach is trauma-informed, gentle, and yet transformative. Blending modern understanding of ancient nervous system science, with body-based practices and inner parts psychotherapy, I guide you through a simple yet powerful framework that helps you move from survival into deeper self-trust, emotional freedom, and more fulfilling relationships. Your body already holds the wisdom for healing - I’m here to help you access it.

My Five-part Process

  1. Language

    Giving language to what happened allows you to process and understand how it shows up in patterns. Language has power but we can’t get stuck here.

  2. Embodiment

    We return to a deep embodied presence to reestablish mind-body connection, turn off thought spirals, and regulate the nervous system.

  3. Inner Parts Work

    I use inner parts psychotherapy to allow you to meet the parts of you that haven’t healed yet. This is truly powerful, breakthrough stuff.

  4. Movement

    Here’s where we work with the nervous system’s intelligence to biologically and viscerally change the state of your body, and therefore rewire the brain circuits to allow the brain to catch up to this moment.

  5. Transformation & Tools

    My roleplay and transformation tools allow you heal what happened, what was stored, and to embody a new story and future. We embody and write a new story for yourself, forging a future that is calm, connected, and self-compassionate.

Regulate your nervous system, reclaim your pleasure, and rewrite the stories held in your cells.
