Experiences

There are some things we can only understand by experiencing them.

Courses, gatherings and one-off days — different ways to step out of the everyday and into something deeper, led by me and trusted facilitators I work alongside.

  • "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 - Youth Worker and Ecotherapist

  • "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 succesful actions in the right direction, built my confidence. She helped me uncover my vision and trust my own wisdom. Now I feel more confident, capable, and excited about what’s ahead."

    Sally-Ann Woodrow, Forest School Leader

  • "Honestly, although Leona told me I would feel completely different by the time I finished working with her I couldn’t imagine how so much could change. I honestly feel like a different person. I know who I am. I am clear on my boundaries, I can say no to things. My life has a great balance of work, family and me time. I am flexible and resourced. I feel more in love with the land and my dream project than ever before and it is already becoming reality. "

    Lorna Norton: Project Manager, Writer, Nature Facilitator.

  • "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

  • Leona created a connected community of support and kinship so we could all evolve and grow together. Leona holds the space intuitively and tenderly.

    Ren Kendel: Child Psychotherapist

  • Working with Leona has been a transformative experience that has reshaped my life and work in profound ways. Her guidance helped me to clarify my vision, align with my values, and implement practical strategies to overcome my challenges.

    Julie West: Play Therapist

  • Working with Leona was exactly what I needed at the time to find my way out of the permanent state of exhaustion and the emotional shallowness. I really needed something that would connect me back to myself again and remind me that it was possible to recover my own resources. I needed someone who has an understanding of who we are to remind me and give me courage to believe in that myself.”
