Pathways to Purpose
Coaching to help you create a life that feels deeply aligned with who you truly are — even through life's biggest transitions
If you're at a crossroads — in work, in love, in how you understand yourself — this is coaching to help you find clarity, reconnect with what matters most, and create a life that feels deeply true to who you are.
Is this really the life I meant to build?
If that question has been quietly following you...
On walks.
At 3am.
In the middle of an ordinary Wednesday.
You're not lost.
Something in you has grown.
You may have outgrown old ways of living, old patterns, old definitions of success, or a version of yourself that once made sense but no longer quite fits.
There is a moment many of us reach where the old path is no longer the right one — but the new path has not yet revealed itself.
This is where we begin.
Pathways to Purpose is a deeply personalised one-to-one coaching journey for people navigating change, transition and the call to live more fully.
Twelve sessions.
No fixed curriculum.
No script to follow.
We work with what is most alive and most needed, allowing the coaching to evolve as you do.
Whether you're navigating a career change, relationship challenges, grief, burnout, a creative calling or simply the quiet sense that life is asking something different of you, we'll work with what is unfolding now.
Underneath every practical challenge lies a deeper journey: creating a life that feels more aligned with your values, your relationships, your purpose and your place in the living world.
This isn't about becoming a different person.
It's about becoming more fully yourself.

Something in you has grown
Often the people who come to this work aren't starting from the beginning.
They've already reflected, questioned, explored and invested in their own growth. They've read the books, listened to the podcasts and tried different approaches.
But something deeper is asking to emerge.
Your responsibilities may have grown.
Your awareness may have deepened.
Your relationship with yourself and the world may have changed.
Yet parts of your life may still be shaped by old rhythms — ways of working, relating or coping that belonged to an earlier season of your life.
You don't need to throw everything away and start again.
You need space.
You need perspective.
You need someone who can help you notice what you can't yet see, ask the questions that matter, and support you as you create a life that's true to who you are now.
“ Working with Leona was exactly what I needed. I had been living in a permanent state of exhaustion and emotional shallowness, and I needed something that would reconnect me with myself. She reminded me that I already had the resources within me and gave me the courage to trust them. Her grounded practices and creative listening helped me break old patterns and find my way back to myself. ”
— Hannah - Charity Lead, Manchester
Who Is This For?
This work is for people who sense that more is possible.
You may be someone who holds a great deal — in your family, your work, your community or the wider world.
From the outside, your life may look successful.
Inside, you're asking quieter questions.
Is this really the life I want to be living?
What am I here to contribute?
What needs to change so my outer life feels more aligned with my inner knowing?
Many people arrive with a practical question.
A career decision.
A relationship.
Burnout.
A life transition.
Together we often discover that beneath the practical challenge is something much deeper:
A longing to live with greater integrity.
A desire to trust yourself again.
A wish to feel more connected to yourself, to others and to the living world.
How we work together
We'll meet for twelve one-to-one sessions over a period that allows meaningful change to unfold alongside your everyday life.
This isn't a programme built around a formula.
It's a bespoke journey that evolves alongside you.
Between sessions, voice notes allow the coaching to stay alive in the moments where life is actually happening, rather than beginning again each time we meet.
After each session you'll receive reflections and carefully chosen practices to help integrate the work into your everyday life.
I won't give you a blueprint for your life because I don't believe one exists.
Instead, I'll help you notice patterns you can't yet see, ask questions that open new possibilities, challenge you with kindness when needed, and walk alongside you as you discover the answers that are genuinely your own.
The coaching draws on everything I've spent years studying and practising — including the Life Compass framework, nature-based mentoring, the Eight Shields model, Cultural Emergence, ecopsychology and ceremonial leadership.
These aren't separate methods.
Together they shape how I listen, the questions I ask and the way I hold this work.
Where it feels supportive, our coaching may also include time outdoors, walking, nature-based practices or simple ceremony to honour important moments of transition.
What People Say…….
"I felt unfulfilled and burnt out in my old job and knew I had to stop and reset. What once fed me had become toxic. I needed space to care for myself and my family. Leona helped me learn to trust my instincts again, quiet the inner critic, and take courageous next steps. I know I now have the tools and confidence to rebuild my career in a way that feels aligned and fulfilling."
— Rachel Deadman
"This work enabled me to really sift through what was mine, what works, what I value, what I need to do now and what I want to focus on in the next season of my life."
— Jo Kilburn, Project Manager
"Before working with Leona, I felt pulled in lots of directions. With my children soon leaving home, I felt I needed more of a direction and a sense of focus. Through Leona's coaching, I found clarity and, through taking small but successful actions in the right direction, built my confidence. Now I feel more confident, capable, and excited about what's ahead."
— Sallyann, Forest School Leader

Hello, I’m Leona
For over twenty years I've guided people through seasons of change — through coaching, community, nature connection and ceremony.
I've seen what happens when thoughtful, capable people try to navigate life's biggest transitions alone.
And I've seen what becomes possible when they're given the space to slow down, listen deeply and reconnect with what matters most.
I don't believe purpose is something we invent.
I believe it's something we uncover.
Much of my work is helping people gently remove what no longer fits, so they can hear what has been quietly calling them all along.
This work isn't about fixing you.
It's about helping you become more fully yourself.
"Leona gave me such support to show up for myself and undo some of my most embedded unhealthy patterns. Each session brought new inspiration and deepening. I would leave feeling recharged and moving forward."
— Kelda, Landscape Architect
What's included
12 one-to-one coaching sessions
A deep, personalised journey exploring the questions, challenges and possibilities that are most alive for you.
Between-session support
Voice notes and ongoing connection between sessions, so the work continues in the moments where life is actually happening, not just on the call.
Personal practices and reflections
Meaningful practices drawn from nature connection, embodiment, reflection and awareness — chosen specifically for where you are on your journey.
The Life Compass framework
A way of exploring the different areas that shape a connected life: vision, self-awareness, personal practice, emotional wellbeing, relationships, belonging, health, growth and contribution.
Land-based and ceremonial approaches
Where appropriate and desired, we may weave in elements of nature connection, fire, ritual or ceremony to support moments of transition and transformation.
For someone who holds a lot together for other people, investing in your own direction is not indulgent — it's often the most responsible thing you can do.

A final word…..
You already know something needs to change. You wouldn't have read this far otherwise.
The only real question now is whether you do this alone, or with real support around you.
