About Leah

---

Leah is an Integrative Nutrition Health Coach trained through the Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN). She is a graduate of the Metropolitan State University of Denver with a focus on Business Management and Computer Information Systems. She has always been passionate about fitness, nutrition, and mental resiliency. She loves to travel, participate in Spartan races (obstacle course racing), hike, camp, ski, cook, create new recipes, and have quality time with her husband, friends, and family, including her four-legged children (Guinness, Mykah). As part of her health coaching practice, Leah is Mental Health Aid Certified and incorporates her cultural and travel experiences to the Blue Zones, Costa Rica, Greece, and Loma Linda. She supports the organizations that have assisted her in her health and life journey and is a brand ambassador for IIN and Spartan. 

In 2015, Leah found herself entirely out of tune with her body, mind, and spirit when she hit rock bottom following two close friends committing suicide. It was then she decided it was time for a change. Through Spartan racing, she shifted her focus to the good around her, and that’s when her life started to transform. Having a date on the calendar for her next race held her even more accountable for how she nourished her body, mind, and spirit through food and movement.

Fast forward to 2021, and Leah began to feel the effects of her 20-plus years of IT consulting and sales career, resulting in burnout and feeling unfulfilled at work and in her personal life. She again took control and booked a 10-day wellness retreat in Costa Rica, leading to her epiphany of becoming a health coach. Before returning from her retreat, she had decided to leave her job and enroll in the IIN’s Health Coaching Training Program.  

Through IIN’s holistic health education and her own experiences, she no longer suffers from the aches and pains of arthritis and migraines. 

She has learned to find balance, stay present, and lean into her most authentic self. This journey of self-discovery connected her to her purpose to coach and support individuals and companies with their journey toward mental resiliency and overall wellness.
