Meet Leah Horgan

Empathy-Led, Science-Backed Coaching

My approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard for you. I believe you are the expert on your own life, and my role is to guide you with structure, thoughtful questions, and support as you reconnect with your energy, strength, and sense of self.

I came to health coaching through personal experience. After more than 30 years of living a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, I was deeply invested in nutrition and health. It was through navigating chronic pain, burnout, anxiety, and job loss that I chose to turn my experience into purpose.

I bring empathy and curiosity to our work together, creating a space where you feel heard, safe, and supported. I meet you where you are and use evidence-based strategies to help you rebuild trust in your body, restore your energy, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Who this is for

You don't have to be in crisis to start.

Coaching works best when you're ready to move forward. Whether you're navigating a major life change or simply feeling like something needs to shift.

People often come to coaching when...

  • They've received a health diagnosis or are navigating a major body change
  • They're going through perimenopause, motherhood, or a shift in family life
  • A career change, relocation, or retirement has them rethinking their priorities
  • They know what they want but get in their own way
  • They're burned out, stretched thin, or ready to finally put themselves first

Understanding the coaching role

What is a Health Coach?

Your Partner in the "How"

While an expert tells you what to do, a health coach partners with you on the how: the real-world, sustainable execution that actually fits your life.

Future-Focused & Action-Oriented

While therapy often explores the why from the past, coaching is forward-looking. We focus on where you want to go and build the specific tools to get you there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know
Health coaching is a collaborative partnership that facilitates behaviour change through evidence-based strategies. Unlike a traditional expert-led approach, a coach works with you to identify your own strengths and motivations, helping you build sustainable habits aligned with your personal vision of wellness.
Coaching is a great fit if you're ready to take action and want a thought partner to help you get there. You don't need to be in crisis or have everything figured out. Many clients come feeling stuck, stretched thin, or like they've been putting their own needs last for too long. If you're navigating a health challenge, a big life change, or simply know what you want but can't seem to make it stick, coaching could be exactly what you need. Not sure? The free 15-minute discovery call is the best way to find out.
Clients commonly experience improved energy levels, better stress management, and a stronger sense of self-efficacy. Research consistently shows health coaching increases life satisfaction, sense of purpose, and overall happiness while reducing daily anxiety, typically over 8 to 12 weeks of consistent work.
Sessions run 30 minutes via video call. We start by reviewing your recent wins and challenges, explore any obstacles in your way, then collaborate on a specific, manageable action plan for the coming week. You'll receive a short written summary afterwards.
Health coaching is not currently covered by most insurance plans. However, some HSA (Health Savings Account) and FSA (Flexible Spending Account) plans may reimburse coaching services — it's worth checking with your provider. Because I offer introductory student rates, sessions are priced to be accessible while you receive high-quality, evidence-based support.
All sessions are conducted online via video call, accessible from anywhere. You'll receive a video link after booking confirmation.
I'm completing my final certification hours at an NBHWC-approved program. The coaching is fully evidence-based and supervised. Rates will increase after graduation in May 2026, so now is an ideal time to start.
