Personal Mission .....
Who I Am

The Nice to meet you, my name is Leah, and yours is?
Welcome to Steps to Change. This company was formed a few years ago as a tribute to my personal journey to getting back to self and letting go of a mirage of beliefs I learnt in my fairly young life. I am still on the younger side of 50. I never really felt I fitted in. I felt I was the runt of the family (youngest of 5) and when I broke free and to be an adult my childhood issues surfaces and screamed at me to be looked at. With the increased awareness around mental health and the impact it has, I feel ok to share with you that after three failed life taking moments, I sort of figured I must need to be here. By then, I had already started the investigation of WTF was 'wrong' with me? I saw things were not what I wanted them to be, but I also knew I needed to be the one to take charge of my change. So, I did. Thanks to my husband at the time, I did a lot of soul searching, clearing out, and moving on. Literally and figuratively! Over the years, I have faced so many of my shadow sides and I honestly thought I could die just because I was deep diving into the shadows of my being. Walking away from marriage, standing in Godly principles to protect the children resulted in some very interesting, dark paths. Thankfully, to my nemesis during the time and with a lot of help from various therapists and teachers sharing their unique skills, enabled me to gradually heal and I have come a long way. I am not there yet, but I can say that I love myself and I honor where I have come from. I am grateful for the lessons provided by the people I love the most, but seem to of lost. I am living, what I think to be a perfect life. Contented most days, but you watch, just because I have said this, I will be down another rabbit hole :). This is ok, I am liking them these days to, because just like in Alice in Wonderland, magic happens, healing happens and I come out of the adventure with a bit more of the 'old' taken away to reveal more of the real me. There are always silver linings in all dark moments and as a result you can benefit from my pain. You can take advantage of my experiences through my books, or any of the ReclaimME! programs available. The Second Video is the Radio Interview With Ric Bratton from This Week in America discussing my book What the Mind Sees the Body Feels, Creates and Attracts. |

I've been coaching adults from all walks of life for the past 12 years, but I am also an Author and Dietitian. Something I love beyond doubt is seeing light bulbs of personal insight be turned on while sharing with others. Witnessing so many stepping into life with confidence, self-compassion and power they previously didn't think they had. It was always there, but hiding behind fear, uncertainty and other people's beliefs or expectations of how they should live their life.
Leah's mission is quite simply to help others take the steps to walk their life journey. We have four primary 'parts' creating our life experiences. The mind and its ability to create links in the world, and 'think'; Body which is the moves and interacts in the world; Spirit or energy which is noticed in our character, values, actins, and then the soul is our core and link to divinity.
Over time our life experiences have created layers, each layer either lifting us up or weighing us down; either reinforcing our beliefs or helping to loosen their hold over our lives. There are many ways in which life dampens our innate joy and peace. An unkind word, fearful experiences, cultural norms that devalue, or make others less than. These are only a few. Often the result is we start to believe "I am not good enough at....."; "I must have ...... before I even can consider being happy, or fulfilled" etc. These examples are only a minuscule of possible ideals and beliefs we carry. According to psychologists, it is our beliefs by their very nature which frame our outlook on life, interactions with others, our quality of life, workplace and most impacting is our love relationships, family and most importantly ourselves. My intent is to teach, support and share my knowledge of how to reduce the hold limiting beliefs and fears have in one's life so they can become empowered to make their own choices based on their values.
The ReclaimME! programs are designed to do just this.. Empower others to take back their past so they can Create Their Life on Their Terms!

Your truth |
Now it is your time to shine brighter, knowing with confidence that each of us is covered with layers of muck, un-serving ideals, beliefs and hurtful wounds that are festering. This is being human. The beauty is, now you have the opportunity to to get back to the real you. Love.
The first step is to stop, listen and hear to the voice insides you that is yearning to reconnect with you and guides you along your path. To become aware is to listen to that small voice in our heart. I encourage you to be still and listen. Reach out to the people you are drawn to. Listen to the subtle messages given to you. It may be a phrase or theme of a book or a movie, a soft voice in the wind, a child, a friend. Observe the themes or threads in these that stand out to you, this is what is needed for you as the next step. You are guaranteed to be challenged, with love. Be asked the hard questions that you need to hear to help you gain clarity, insight and let go. You will be heard, but also put your words back to you reframed so you can see there are other ways of thinking, feeling and living. So, If you are ready to take another leap of faith towards yourself, and this page has resonated with you, then I invite you to connect. |
