What The Fuck has been falling out of my mouth A LOT lately. I imagine I’m not alone in this. As someone who is deeply committed to heart-centered living, I’ve been learning a lot about love. About where anger fits in to the equation. There’s this guy in Texas that thinks that women who get abortions should be charged with …

How to Connect with Your Guides In One Easy Step
I’m often asked to help people connect with their guides, with departed loved ones, with their own intuition. I field questions about sacred rituals and which crystals to work with and what a particular symbol means. I’ve watched with a mixture of gratitude and concern as tarot, yoga, meditation, and reiki have become mainstream. Mystical is trendy, spiritual “gangstas” are …
What’s my Life Purpose?
When you have cleared out the blocks to the free flow of spirit through you and out, your body becomes an instrument of pure divine expression. Your wants and creative thoughts can guide that flow into a particular expression, directed by what your own soul wants at a particular moment. When your personality is scattered, busy, loud, it can redirect …
I Talk to Angels and Dead People
I stepped out of the Woo closet a few months ago. And now I’m stepping out even further… deep breath, Leah, it’s gonna be ok. I talk to Angels. And dead people. And other beings of light. I’m not announcing this to invite judgment – good OR bad – I’m announcing it because doing so feels right at …
11 Small Steps for MASSIVE Changes
Clients often ask me how to feel less stress, how to find out WHAT their “purpose” is, or what would bring more joy, balance, and meaning into their lives.

How Do I Meditate? Part I
Sitting lotus-style in a candlelit room, OM-ing to chant music, not a thought in one’s mind. Blissfully relaxed. Supremely calm. Undisturbed by emotions, the fly buzzing around, your foot falling asleep… This is the image that often comes to mind when people think of meditation. And last I checked, 99% of the people I know aren’t Buddhist monks who have …
How Woah Can You Go?
Ok, that’s a cheesy title. I know, I know. But I’m a little cheesy sometimes. Part of my charm! So…woah. Woah to the woo. I’ve talked about this a little bit already, but it’s still a theme in my life these days – the coming out as an energy worker, as someone who pays attention to intuition, to inner (and …
Why This? Why Now?
I used to have a “normal” job. I worked for nonprofit organizations for nearly a decade, wearing a variety of hats from volunteer coordinator to fundraiser to social worker (which includes many hats, in and of itself, as most jobs do!). The Reiki thing was always on the side. The lightwork/woowoo stuff was kept neatly tucked in a closet and …
What’s a Chakra?
In the world of energy and/or lightwork, the term chakra is often used. Most people have a vague idea of what a chakra is, but aren’t totally sure of the specifics. In Sanskrit, the term literally means wheel. But a chakra is actually a center or point of energy in the body. There are seven main chakras from your …
