Why I do this work
My coaching practice was born from an unexpected transition. In 2023, I was laid off and shortly after suffered a severe neck injury during dance practice. Almost overnight, I lost my sense of stability, physical ability, and confidence. Navigating chronic pain and anxiety during that time forced a profound identity shift.
While I have been plant-based for 30 years and have always been passionate about nutrition and movement, this experience taught me that health is much more. It is holistic, individual, and deeply connected to living in alignment with your values.
During my recovery, I realized I did not just want another job. I wanted a career built on meaning, health, and connection. That is why I created Forward Momentum: to help people rebuild their health, confidence, and sense of purpose with intention.
Now, I help people navigate their own transitions. Whether you are burnt out, feeling lost, or unsure about your next chapter, I understand what it feels like to rebuild. I am here to help you rediscover your purpose and move forward with confidence.
Helping you reconnect with your health, your direction, and yourself
If you are here, you might be feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you are navigating stress, an injury, a major life transition, or a moment where life simply did not go the way you planned. You know you want to feel more energized and confident. You want to feel like yourself again, but the path forward feels unclear.
I believe you are the expert on your own life. My role is to be your partner who helps you move forward in a sustainable and meaningful way. You do not need to be "fixed." You need a space to listen, reflect, and move forward thoughtfully.
To empower people to take charge of their life, believe in themselves, and live fully.

"Leah was extremely attentive in her help to achieve goals. She was more focused on what would work for you versus what you should and how you could do such and such a task/goal. Absolutely recommend her."
