About Leigh
Hi, I'm Leigh.
I'm so glad you're here.
I've been a therapist for more than thirty years, and I've worked with thousands of women. One thing I've learned from all of them is that they already have the gifts and the power they need to be successful in their lives. But the stress of motherhood can make it difficult to connect to these internal sources of strength. I know how hard it can be, because I'm also a mom of five amazing children.
I have a Master's degree in Clinical Social Work and thirty years in mental health, human development, and trauma treatment. Nothing has equipped me better to help other mothers than being a mother myself and facing those daily stresses. I went looking for the science behind what was happening in my own body and my own head, and then I put it to work in my own life. That's what made me calmer. That's what made me confident.
That's what I want to teach you: how to calm your body, direct your mind, and parent with a plan.
What I believe
I believe everyone should be trained in resilience
Knowing how to handle your emotions, calm your body, and direct your mind shouldn't be something only a few people ever learn. It's empowerment training, and it changes your life. It changes how you look at yourself and how you take care of yourself, and it gives you what you need to handle the challenges life brings.
Seeing moms feel stronger and more confident in their parenting is why I do this work. I never get tired of it, because it doesn't stop with them. It creates calmer homes, and kids who grow up resilient.
What I built
What I teach isn't a collection of tips I gathered. It's the Resiliency System, a methodology I built over those 30 years, and it starts with you rather than with your child.
Alongside that work I've done advanced training in positive psychology and in how the nervous system works under pressure.
