About Leigh
My mission is to help you build a life and business that feels unmistakably yours.
It breaks my heart to see people living half-hearted lives, exhausted from pouring themselves into careers of minimal meaning.
I believe the highest manifestation of a human life is to become a “pollinator” person—honing and sharing your gifts in a way that gives life to you and others.
That’s why my work is to help you reclaim your nature, re-write your story and build a life and business that feels unmistakably yours.
My Story
I grew up sensitive to everything—sounds, subtle energies, and the quiet stirrings of the wild beyond my window. I had a deep need to study and rescue every insect and animal, craving to connect with them and give them their best chance at a full life.
Because I was sensitive to everything, and because my youth was a roller coaster of divorce, illness, and grieving the loss of a parent, I spent much of my early life grasping for harmony. I became a master people pleaser—a real chameleon—but I lost touch with my own inner essence.
I studied writing in college and landed in creative marketing post-grad. Over the next decade, I scaled two agencies and led brand strategy for hundreds of clients, from hospitality brands to public figures. I had a gift for seeing the soul behind people and projects, translating intangible essence into words, visuals, and systems.
At the same time, I became obsessed with self-actualization.

My twenties were one big study hall—psychology, spirituality, and the art of transformation. I voraciously soaked up the self-help section and earned certifications in coaching, breathwork, hypnotherapy, and Internal Family Systems.
I thought I’d ultimately abandon brand strategy for the business of betterment, but I discovered my dharma was in fusing both—bringing the depth of psychology and ecology into the realm of personal brands and translating the process of brand to empower people in their own identity transitions.
In 2024, I started my own consultancy to bridge the two: brand and becoming. I began serving solopreneurs, coaches, doctors and teachers of all kinds of wisdom.
Through brand strategy, coaching and writing, I help soulful seekers align their lives and professions with their inner essence.
Because i believe the fullest version of your life—the one where you’re on your death bed and you say “no regrets”—is the one that feels unmistakably you.
My Philosophy
A monarch caterpillar can only grow into its wings by feeding on one plant: milkweed—its mother plant. I see each human as having their own “mother plant,” a unique way of being that nourishes them and calls them forward to their own metamorphosis. Yet, many of us wander away from that source in pursuit of borrowed dreams or ideals that aren’t truly ours.
My work is about guiding people back to their own mother plant—their innate blueprint for becoming. Like the monarch, the transformation happens naturally once we’re feeding on what’s meant for us. What fascinates us, What calls to us. And this is how we each become pollinators—nourishing the world through the simple act of being who we really are.
