About Leigh
My mission is to help you live a life that honors your nature.
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 their gifts in a way that gives life to themselves and others.
That’s why my work is to help individuals return to their essence and build lives and businesses that are true reflections of their nature.
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 save every insect and animal, giving them a chance at a full life.
Because I noticed everything, and because my teenage years involved divorce, illness, and my dad’s passing, I spent much of my early life trying to create harmony. I became a master people pleaser, but lost touch with my own sense of identity.
As a lifelong writer, I went to school for journalism and ultimately found a home in the world of marketing. Over the next decade, I scaled two creative agencies and led brand strategy for hundreds of clients, from hospitality brands to visionary public figures.
I discovered my gift for seeing the soul behind people and projects, translating intangible essence into words, visuals, and systems.
At the same time, I became devoted to my own self-actualization…

My twenties were filled with study—psychology, spirituality, and the art of transformation. I earned certifications in coaching, breathwork, and Internal Family Systems.
I thought I’d leave the business world for the world of human transformation. Instead, I realized my own dharma was in fusing both, bringing the depth of psychology into the realm of personal branding and the discovery process of brand into coaching.
In 2024, I started my own consultancy to bridge the two: brand and becoming. I began serving creatives, coaches, doctors, teachers— the “pollinator” entrepreneurs who exist to give more life to the world, and the ones who aspire to be one.
I also began raising monarch butterflies, which emphasized that metamorphosis is in our bones. We just have to feed on what’s meant for us.
Today, my work helps soulful seekers do exactly that—align their life and business with their essential nature.
Because I believe when we live the fullest version of the lives we were made for, we carry forth the blueprint of life itself.
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. This is how we each become pollinators—nourishing the world through the simple act of being who we really are.
