Compassionate Eating. Mindful Living. Trauma-aware. Empowered Life.

Hi! I’m Leanna. I provide 1-on-1 coaching, group workshops, and online resources for individuals needing support in improving their relationship with food, creating self-care practices and taking aligned action in their lives through mindfulness-based modalities, mindful eating and self-compassion practices.

Like so many women, I was exposed to and pressured by unrealistic body standards, fad diets, and toxic wellness culture, making it feel as though losing weight, exercising and eating ‘right’ was a full-time job. As a result, I struggled with yo-yo dieting, emotional and stress eating, and developed an unrealistic mindset toward my well-being.

I became a Registered Nurse, Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, received two Mindful Eating Practitioner Certificates, and began studying mindfulness and self-compassion. I’ve now been a Nurse for 12 years, a Coach & M.E. Practitioner for 2, and have been practicing mindfulness for about 10 years.

Some other things that influence my way of working with others include spending three years as an Organic vegetable farmer, traveling around the U.S. and Spanish-speaking countries, and living in 6 different states.

When I’m not empowering people like you to take aligned and joyful action in their lives and helping you release diet culture’s grip, you’ll probably find me spending time in nature, reading, practicing gentle yoga, finding sweet coffee shops, or riding my bike around town (whatever town I’m in!).
