Meet Leigh
I've been helping men and women break free from chronic aches, pains, and vitality issues for over 20 years in the Decatur, GA area.
I am a Nationally Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, NASM Certified Corrective Exercise Specialist, Precision Nutrition L2 Master Health Coach, Licensed Neuromuscular Therapist, and Certified Yoga Teacher and I offer an integrative approach to recovering from chronic health, pain, movement, and vitality issues.
I run a boutique coaching and training business where I have the privilege of transforming my clients’ physical pain and fears of a life of diminishing vitality and limited movement, into a life of feeling strong and confident about their body, and their future.
When I'm not working with clients in my office, I'm coaching clients online and virtually nationwide via Zoom.
Fun Facts About Me
I am a devoted lifelong learner. I have always been fascinated with health and how it affects wellbeing.
I am a firm believer in the power of nutrition and lifestyle to transform health and vitality.
I have scoliosis and have learned firsthand about how movement and postural alignment influences overall health.
I know all about injury recovery and vitality issues. I once stepped on a very well camoflauged hole that landed me 10 ft down and left me with a cascade of health problems.
I had tried just about everything to heal my body.
Then I realized I neeeded to find a balanced approach and to take matters into my own hands. I dove into learning everything I could about healthy living and wellness. I stayed consistent, applied what I was learning, and my health and vitality returned. (It's easier than you think with the right support!)
I'm an athlete at heart. I have never stopped moving since I was a little girl. I believe that getting older is about getting better, not about getting brittle.
I ran two marathons in support of the Leukemia Society. One in Paris, France, and the other in Chicago.
I used to race mountain bikes and participated in two 24-hour mountain bike races.
I started and ran a non-profit organization called Earth Challenge that led 2 bike rides across the country promoting individual and environmental health advocacy and awareness.
I am a whole food plant-based eater and have seen the amazing health benefits of including more whole plant foods in your diet-both in my own health and in the health of my clients. I believe good nutrition is a foundational cornerstone of good health.
This balance thing; It’s and ongoing process and it’s uniquely yours. There is no one-size fits all. This I know for sure.
