My name is Leah and I am a social worker specialising in adult mental health, EMDR and DBT therapist, yoga teacher, cacao enthusiast and shamanic practitioner.

​​

I have been studying and practising yoga since 2001 and have been fortunate to be at the feet of some of the most amazing teachers and enlightened Beings. I spent five years in India, three of them living in the Isha and Sivananda ashrams. I have gained my 200 hours qualification certificate with Sandstone Yoga who are associated with Yoga Alliance in March 2022 and completed Yin Yoga training with Norman Blair in September 2022. 

​

I have been working deeply with cacao since 2015 and have been her apprentice since 2018. I was then initiated into cacao in 2023 by members of the Tz'utujil Tribe from Guatemala, which included learning about Guatemalan cosmology and traditional fire techniques. Whilst undergoing this apprenticeship, I have also been working with other Shamanic and Animist traditions including studying the Medicine Wheel, plant medicine, as well as other Core Shamanic techniques.

​

I qualified in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprogramming Therapy in 2022 and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy in 2024 and practice within the NHS. I have regular, monthly supervision and can support you with addressing any trauma, grief, anxiety or depression. I have been a Social Worker specialising in adult mental health since 2013 and am registered in England and Wales - I continue to work with people who experience deep trauma and mental ill-health particularly those with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder, Depression, Anxiety or any related presentation.  

​

Additionally, I've been blessed with living in some wonderful countries around the world including Ghana, Pakistan, Australia and Thailand where I taught English as a Foreign Language.
