    Leah work's with heart-centered entrepreneurs who struggle to balance their career and family life and who are often on autopilot and have lost the sense of their intuition. They come to her when they are overwhelmed, over-worked, and on the verge of burn-out. They are not getting anywhere near the love, the heath, or the career satisfaction they want. Leah works with them to get unstuck and out of their own way; improve their self-confidence and self-worth; reconnect with their intuition; consciously map out the lifestyle and the freedom business they desire; reveal why they are not getting what they want; and create a life they actually love! They get to lead their own life, not someone else’s, easily and gracefully increase their income, and stop feeling guilty and worried about what other people think of them and their gifts. They also create the perfect schedule for themselves and their family, so overwhelm is a thing of the past. Using the practice of focusing and meditation, Leah clears fears and limiting beliefs, and teaches them to use their unique gifts, discover the type of work and conscious business they can thrive in, and manifest the money that is theirs to make in this world. Leah has over 10 years of experience as an entrepreneur as Founder of Trans-Comm Translations & Communications where she and her team translated subtitles for over one hundred short and feature-length films, several of which won international awards. To complete her studies after her Bachelor's degree from McGill in Communications & Psychology, Leah pursued a Personal & Professional Coaching Certification from Concordia University. To take her coaching skills and practice further, she was mentored by a number of top Life & Business mentors in the United States. Leah coaches privately and facilitates experiential coaching workshops in English and French.
