About Me

Hi there! My name is Leah and I am a lover of truth, freedom, and helping people who want peace, find it.

I am a writer, teacher, guide, and above all, practitioner. 

Primarily, I create content and share welcoming with audiences as groups. I also coach a handful of individuals who are ready to let go of the striving, seeking, and struggle that can sometimes weave it’s way into the spiritual journey. 

Background:

I graduated with a B.S. in Computer Science from Brown. For two years I worked as a Product Manager at Microsoft.

In 2006, I left to join a little startup  called Facebook as one of four product managers. 

I worked at Facebook for the next five years, as the company (obviously) skyrocketed. I worked on many projects, the most famous of which was the Like Button

I left Facebook after my dad’s cancer took a turn for the worse. His illness was a wakeup call to me that I had been so busy trying to be successful so much my life, that I had lost track of what was really important to me. 

After leaving Facebook, I began to ask deeper questions of myself, the answers to which I drew as comics and posted online.  Almost accidentally, I created a popular comic blog called “Dharma Comics“which later became a published collection called Drawn Together: Uplifting Comics on the Curious Journey of Life and Love.  

For several years, I spoke at Wisdom 2.0, where I met Diana Chapman and Jim Dethmer of the Conscious Leadership Group. In addition to studying with them for many years, I illustrated their book 15 commitments of conscious leadership.

In 2014, I began co-facilitating Leadership Camp with Sue Heilbronner, in Boulder, Colorado and went on to become a Coach-in-Residence at MergeLane, an accelerator for women-run companies.

Around this time, a new door opened for me. I walked through it and it has changed my life. That is another story which you can read here. 

In 2022, I cofounded The Welcoming Way, a coaching organization that derives its style from The Conscious Leadership Group and The Sedona Method to help people realize that the peace they seek is always here, always now.

This realization helps people to stop using their creative energy on internal dramas, and focus their attention and energy on what matters most.

Private Coaching

In addition to running group workshops and coaching within companies, I privately coach a small handful of select individuals who have achieved some amount of external success, and are now serious about peace and inner freedom. If this sounds like you, please click the button below. 

“Leah’s coaching and teachings on the Welcoming Way have dramatically changed the way I relate to my thoughts and ultimately, how I show up in professional dynamics and personal relationships. She has an uncanny ability to match the moment by unraveling the most complex mind tricks. She also offers a toolkit to get in touch with what is most true. I now have an ever-expanding catalogue of ‘Leah-isms’ that I regularly tap when I feel activated around a situation or want to embark on personal inquiry.

 If you’re ready to challenge previously held beliefs, get curious, or go deeper, I wouldn’t think twice about working with Leah; she is truly a master.”

“You have made such a tremendous impact on my life and my beingness so far! Welcoming has helped me become a much more real and true me without all the stress and drama. It is like a gift I didn’t even know I was looking for.”

Private Coaching Client

“Working with Leah is like having a super sensitive seer who is shining her light of awareness on me. She reflects myself to me with such precision, that I can unwind old patterns with ease. Her curiosity is infectious and it never feels like work, its fun, engaging and powerful. I have not met anyone who matches her refinement and skill with leading people through Releasing. The work I have done with her continues to ripple in my life everyday.

“I really love that she’s so supportive but at the same time she doesn’t let things slide. Leah also has the ability to see the unseen which brings to light roots of problems and helps unearth issues.”

Vlada Bortnik
CEO and Co-founder of Marco Polo App

“What I got from one session with Leah is what I got out of probably ten therapy sessions on the same topic.

 Kim W. 
Director of Product

“Leah coaches with loving clarity. She brings an incisive mind, a gushing heart, striking intuition, and her years of devoted study to her coaching work. Five minutes of Leah’s coaching often has saved me five years of suboptimal living and leading.

Sue H.
CEO of MergeLane and HeySue.com 

“ Leah offers a place of relentless compassion and understanding that feels safe and without judgement.   Working with Leah through something particularly painful has helped me to experience and be with my strong emotions, maybe for the first time.”
