Hey 🫂 welcome to my new page dedicated to my offerings.

The name for the page and my offerings landed in my heart during a self guided reiki and cacao ceremony, and it fits what I hope to provide; a space to just “be”, held by me - Leah. The hope is that you can land in our co-created space without the need to be anyone but the version of you that you are in that moment. A space to soften, exhale and simply be, so that you can receive whatever it is that you came for.

As a registered mental health nurse and therapist with nearing a decade of experience of working in the NHS, I have a strong rooting in the Western ways of healing. However, over the years I have been more and more called to more holistic and spiritual ways of healing. It is my hope to be a bridge between these two worlds; combining plant medicine, energy healing and movement with an integration that supports the healing, even once the ceremony is over. Supporting mind, body and spirit.

I could go on, I’ll stop for now. Thanks for being here ✨🫶🏽 by @be.withleah

Back on the mat 🧘🏽‍♀️

Yesterday marked the end of my pause from teaching and it was so lovely to be back.

Learning to work with this ever evolving body of mine, in safe company with wonderful souls.

Come join us you like, Mondays 17:45 & 19:00. We laugh, we move, we feel, we breathe.

Getting to know this body of mine again. It’s a process I’m at the very beginning of.

Last night during a beautifully held yin practice we were guided into this shape. One that previously I would have found easy to exist in.

As I lingered here I noticed the stretch across my tummy, the hardening and tightening sensation around the wound. Then I noticed the sadness. The thought that I could cry if I allowed myself. I noticed the guilt. The thought that I should be massaging my scar to help it soften. Then that feeling of recoil that arrives when I touch it. I noticed the grief that I didn’t get the birth I wanted despite how hard I tried. The days of labour only to have my son inevitably lifted out of the sun roof. I noticed the worry. The thought that I am supposed to stand at the front of the same studio I was in and teach classes again in a few months with a body that doesn’t look, feel or move like it used to.

And then I came back to my breath, let the edges soften and in that moment accepted that this is just where I am right now.

Thank you for the class @charlottetayloryoga , for the space to notice.

6 years in and it’s time for a pause. To all the people who have practiced with me over that time, thank you! And an extra special thank you to those who made it to the mat this evening 🥵 it was hot and sweaty and all the more magical for you being there. Thank you for the cards and gifts and hugs and well wishes. I will miss you all. But it’s just a pause. A time for me to lean into this magical new chapter. I’ll be back in the new year, and in that time you’re in @yogini_sal capable and brilliant hands (thanks Sal ❤️)

Not much longer little one ✨

Gratitude, always for this body of mine. What magic making vessels we are.

6 weeks left to practice with me before I take a little pause as I step into this new chapter. I’d love to see you before my break.

Grateful for this body of mine

Even though for many weeks I’ve been slower than usual

Not moving as much

I can still land on the mat, with the music loud and listen to my body

Feel through my body

Come home to my body

I’m grateful for this body. by @be.withleah

Last weekend’s restorative yoga and cacao ceremony marked my last event for 2024 and I am feeling deeply grateful for all of those who trusted me to hold ceremonial space for them this year. 140 beautiful souls have gathered with me at some point or another over this year and every event has been very special in its own way. To the wonderful women I have held space alongside, thank you to you too ♥️ I am so grateful for all the support.

For now, I’m turning inwards for a bit of rest from bigger group offerings. I have a couple of spaces for 1:1 sessions over the rest of the year and will be back to group offerings in January for a day retreat with my darling @negeenaramyoga - grid posts to follow.

Sacred Sister Sunday 5 was beautiful.

As always I sit in deep gratitude for the women who show up and hold space for each other. For their courage to share their hearts. For the medicine of cacao, the drum and sisterhood.

Thank you for trusting me ✨ by @be.withleah
