I am a busy mom of three who has constantly struggled with weight issues my entire life. I come from a fairly mainstream background and always thought that I needed to diet (usually unreasonable fads) to loose weight. This became a harmful and shame-filled yo-yo cycle of dieting and relapsing. Combined with the exhaustion of taking care of three little boys it not only affected my physical health but my emotional health as well.
I started working with Leah a couple of years ago and feel as though my entire relationship with food has changed. She gave me “permission” to eat those foods that society deems bad and increased the amount of food that I eat on a daily basis. Low and behold I lost weight!
I now use liberal amounts of butter on my toast, snack on cashews, almonds, avocado and eat my bacon guilt free (!). In addition to eating plenty of good fats, I am eating more protein as well as veggies and fruits and I have never felt better. She has helped me to break a vicious cycle of shame and start a new cycle of positivity.
Her philosophy has really helped to make my health as much of a priority as my family’s has always been to me. Good nutrition combined with exercise has given me the energy I need to keep up with my growing boys. What a truly wonderful gift she has given me. A healthy and happy Mama is good for the whole family!
Leah is so compassionate, knowledgeable, passionate, and accessible. She has given me tools to work with for the rest of my life and hopefully pass on to my children. I am transitioning into my fourth decade with excitement, energy, and good health. Thank you Leah!

Leah inspired me re-think the way that I eat. She genuinely sought to know and understand me, my lifestyle, my likes and dislikes, etc. and personalize my nutrition plan. Her substantive knowledge, kind spirit and gracious support gave me the foundation I needed to make healthier food and lifestyle choices. The positive impacts are far-reaching. As a mother, I now have the tools to train my children, so they can enjoy the benefits of healthy eating and living too.
