“When I reached out to Leah, I was struggling with depression, self image, and going through a divorce. In only 2-3 sessions Leah had me on a path to living a more meaningful life where I understood how to be present and how to set boundaries. These small things each session helped me to feel like I could manage my emotions and trauma responses. I connected with Leah in a way I hadn’t with other coaches. She listened intently and offered advice on how I may approach the next time differently. She made me feel capable. Even being reminded that “No” is a complete sentence has helped me set the boundaries in life that are helping me cope with the things I’m facing. It’s a journey and while I’m only in the beginning, I feel better equipped than I ever had. I’m grateful.”

“When I started working with Leah, my world was falling apart. What I thought was going to be a long relationship had just ended after 5 years, quarantine was underway, my business was shut down, and I knew my life would never be the same. It was through Leah’s guidance that I was able to grasp moving forward. I began to accept change and started realizing a life ahead that had the capacity for joy, love, self-nurturing, and strength. Every session with Leah revealed facets of my being that were perhaps laying dormant or not yet discovered. The sessions were freeing to my entire being—some days it was releasing soulful tears, breath-work where I was able to let out deep fears and frustrations, and some days well-needed laughter. Each hour proved to be healing, and I started to notice my growth.

After every session I felt a bit stronger in myself, my boundaries, and my ability to communicate with others. It was a process, it continues to be a process, and for that I am grateful for Leah’s wisdom and guidance through whatever life decides to throw my way. The freedom and acceptance that Leah embodies allows me to be an open book, no judgment, no fears in discovering who I truly am as a woman, mother, partner, and friend. I continue to carry tools from Leah’s coaching in setting boundaries, feeling my inner strength and energy, and walking this path of life as a woman and single mother.

I would highly recommend getting your feet wet with a consultation with Leah! You will be surprised what doors within you will begin to open.”

“When I first reached out to Leah, I was in a place where I felt like I was carrying a heavy weight of self-doubt and exhaustion. My inner critic was loud and constant, and I was constantly absorbing and managing the emotions of the people around me, which left me drained and without much energy for myself. I expected to talk and maybe learn a few tools, but I did not expect the work to feel so deeply embodied and practical at the same time. What surprised me most was how much I could feel things shifting in real time. This work was different because it went beyond my mind and into my body. With Leah, I felt like I was rewiring myself from the inside out. Her integration of somatic expertise with practical coaching tools was unlike anything else I have experienced.

At first it felt uncomfortable, like learning to walk in a new way. But it was also empowering, because I could feel my nervous system trying on something new and realizing it was possible. It was like building new grooves in how I move through the world, and slowly those grooves became familiar paths.”

“I was struggling to feel at home in myself, to set boundaries without guilt, and to recognize my own needs. I was constantly absorbing and managing the emotions of the people around me, which left me drained. I wanted to find a steadier, kinder way of being, but I did not know what that looked like. In our sessions, Leah created such a safe and compassionate space that I could actually try out new ways of responding, instead of just talking about them. When I practiced setting boundaries or speaking to myself with more kindness in the safety of our sessions, it gave me a kind of muscle memory.

Now I show up with more clarity, more groundedness, and more honesty. I no longer take on other people’s emotions as if they are mine to fix. Instead, I can listen, care, and support without losing myself. There was a time recently when someone close to me was experiencing a lot of emotional intensity. In the past, I would have immediately absorbed their feelings, tried to manage the situation, and abandoned my own needs in the process. Instead, I noticed what was happening in my body, grounded myself, and chose to stay connected without taking on their emotions as my responsibility. That would not have been possible for me before this work.”

“When I started working with Leah, I had built up so many unhelpful narratives about myself over the years that I could not tell where they ended and I began. I was struggling to actually believe I deserved to care for my body and mind. I knew I wanted to shift the way I related to myself and others, but I did not trust that it was possible. One of the biggest shifts is that I trust myself more deeply. I still hear the voice of my inner critic sometimes, but I do not automatically believe it. I can pause, notice what is happening in my body, and reconnect to what I know to be true. I have also made and kept commitments to my physical health in ways that felt impossible before, and that has built both trust and confidence. I feel more at home in myself, like I have a steadier foundation to return to when life gets overwhelming.

I wish I had known just how much was possible. I thought maybe I would feel a little lighter or learn a few tricks to manage stress, but the changes have been so much deeper. This work has touched every part of my life, from how I speak to myself, to how I set boundaries, to how I care for my body, and to how I show up in my relationships. I did not realize that I could actually feel this different, and I am so grateful I gave myself the chance to try.”

“I would tell any woman who is hesitating about this kind of work that this work is both gentle and transformative. You do not need to wait until you are ready or have everything figured out. If you feel the pull, even just a little bit, that is enough. Working with Leah has been one of the most supportive choices I have made, and it is not about fixing yourself. It is about finally learning to be with yourself in a kinder, steadier way.”

“I can’t say enough good things about working with Leah at Second Spring Coaching. From the very first moment, it felt like I was entering a space built for genuine transformation. Leah shows up with authenticity and creates a safe, comfortable and affirming space to explore challenging topics. Rather than just talking through problems, the sessions incorporate somatic practices, real-time relational work, and tools you practice in the moment. Leah's approach keeps the work from feeling abstract and helps the shifts actually land in your body. I was surprised by how much progress we made in the first session by tuning into my body to understand some past experiences and thought patterns driving negative self-image as it relates to aging. Leah's loving approach makes you feel truly seen and heard at a soul level which allows for honesty and vulnerability. The best way to understand the power of this work is to experience it. If you’re ready to do inner, messy, embodied work with a trusted and compassionate guide, I would give my highest recommendation to work with Leah at Second Spring Coaching.”
