the path

How I got here

My coach training is through She Leads (formerly The Clique Method), an ICF-accredited programme grounded in feminine leadership, somatic approaches, and self-worth as a foundation for change. It gave me a formal framework for something I was already doing instinctively: asking questions until the real thing shows up, and holding space for someone to hear themselves think.

What I bring from the contemplative side is harder to credential but no less real. A decade-plus of serious practice in Mahayana Buddhist philosophy, yoga philosophy, Yoga Nidra, Ayurveda, nervous system work, and tarot as a reflective tool has given me a particular kind of patience and a particular kind of presence. I know how to sit with uncertainty without rushing to resolve it. That matters in coaching.

who this is for

The person I work best with

You are competent. Genuinely, visibly competent. You've built a life that looks good from the outside and mostly works, but there's something, a low hum of wrong, a sense that you're optimising for a life you never fully chose, or a crossroads you keep circling without landing.

You might be a woman in tech who is very good at her job and quietly wondering if this is actually it. You might be someone who has done a lot of personal development work and is tired of talking about it without anything shifting. You might just be someone who needs to think out loud with someone who won't flinch and won't tell you what to do.

I work particularly well with people who are thoughtful, a bit intense, and done with vague. If you're looking for someone to hand you a framework, I'm not that. If you're looking for someone to help you find what's actually true for you, that's the work.

working together

What you can expect

We work in packs of five or ten sessions, held online. A free discovery call comes first — thirty minutes to see if this feels right for both of us. No pitch, no pressure, just an honest conversation about where you are and whether I can actually help.

Sessions are conversational, not clinical. I ask good questions. I listen carefully. I follow what's actually present rather than a fixed agenda. You won't leave with a rigid action plan you'll quietly abandon. You'll leave with one or two things that feel genuinely doable, and a clearer sense of why they matter.

Sessions can be mixed: coaching, yoga, or tarot, depending on where you are and what you need. We figure that out together.

beyond the work

The life I live

I live by a forest outside of Copenhagen with my husband Mads and our dog Nighteyes. I mark the turning of the year. I make things, from Raspberry Pi projects to watercolour to crochet. Nature is my sancuary. I read widely, slowly, and across an open range of subjects. I think the inner life and the outer life are the same life, and I try to live accordingly.

kind words

• "Leigh helped me find the focal point and made me feel comfortable during the process."

• "It was incredibly fulfilling working with Leigh. Her questions and our conversations helped reveal the areas in my life which needed attention — she helped create an accountable action plan, though quite gentle, to bring energy to those areas and inspire growth."

• "She taught me how to accomplish my professional goals but also take time for spiritual and fun activities that I tend to pay less attention to but need more of in my life."
