About Me

Pause. Feel. Tune in. Welcome the triggers and feel into alignment with your true self. Your heart knows the way. Leigh strongly believes that when we can go inward and create space to know and turn towards our true self, that this provides the ultimate platform for healing to take place. In her work with each client she strives to provide a safe space that fosters this intuitive ability for growth and healing. One that brings you closer to your authentic self and awakens a felt sense of inner alignment. At the same time, Leigh holds high regard for the energetic presence that she brings to each session. This involves an empathic, trauma-informed and non-judgemental approach that is accepting and genuine with each client.

Leigh is a Mom to two little souls who are currently her biggest teachers. She completed education and training with The University of Toronto and in 2010 achieved her Master of Social Work degree. For over 15 years she worked in various community and health care settings with vulnerable sector populations and has been running her private practice since 2016. At which time, she also obtained a diploma from the Canadian School of Natural Nutrition in holistic nutrition. When Leigh is not working you will find her spending time with her family, out in nature, doing yoga or dance, playing in the kitchen, or cozying up with meditation, creative writing and a chai latte.

This journey is particularly for those who feel at the whim of their emotions~ whether disconnected, alone, anxious, overwhelmed, sad or stressed; and who have a strong desire to shift their relationship to Self. There are often experiences of self-doubt, self-criticism, and a strong desire to feel better, to feel good enough. Patterns of using food (perhaps unknowingly) to cope and feel better may also exist. Leigh is a client-centred practitioner that see’s each client as the expert of their own experiences, and honours the strengths that each client carries within them. She works with conscious intention to see and hear you where you are today as you move collaboratively through therapy and towards desired goals.
Leigh uniquely offers holistic nutrition services alongside use of best-practice modalities, including acceptance and commitment (ACT), solution-focused (SFT), emotion-focused (EFT), cognitive-behavioural (CBT), dialectical-behavioural (DBT), motivational interviewing (MI), and mindfulness-based therapies, including mindful emotional eating (MEE). She also weaves informed somatic and Internal Family Systems (IFS) approaches into her practice. Leigh believes that it is important to understand what is at the root of our problems, and can integrate nutrition to support and enhance biological, mental, emotional and spiritual wellness. "The more we give our inner voice a platform to be our guide, the more we generate feelings of inner worth and trust that we are enough." ~ Leigh
