Leah’s story

Hi, I’m Leah, a mindset and high-performance coach and self-confessed high achiever and perfectionist who has experienced my own physical and mental setbacks. And because of that I understand where high performing individuals – like athletes and entrepreneurs – are coming from. For the last 20 years, I’ve been captivated by the power of the mind – how it shapes our reality, fuels our performance or holds us back.

Early in my journey, I experienced the crushing weight of perfectionism and crippling panic attacks as I tied my self-worth to my achievements. Despite having high drive and ambition, my inner critic saw me procrastinating and flailing, with nothing seeming good enough.

I wanted to know more, so I immersed myself in studying and learning about the inner thoughts and mindsets that people face, eventually receiving my PhD in mindset transformation. When I suffered a series of complex injuries that led medical professionals to tell me I’d never complete another pull up, I was ready to push those limits. And I eventually became a professional figure athlete with multiple national and world titles.

Now I help others discover what they’re truly capable of.

Helped to overcome self-sabotage, burnout, perfectionism and imposter syndrome

My work is about more than just better performance. It’s about peace of mind, inner confidence and sustainable success. No matter what inner challenge you’re facing, I’ll help you shift the patterns that are driving the struggle… for good. And when the mind gets back in alignment, everything else follows.

Values & Philosophy

What drives my work

I see success as more than just ticking boxes or kicking goals – it’s also about who you become while you pursue them. It’s about bold self-trust, living with integrity, and thriving in the process – not just the outcome. My work is built on the belief that when mindset, purpose, and performance align, transformation becomes inevitable – and what you can achieve sees no limits.

Individualised transformation

Every person’s path is different, so there’s no cookie cutter solutions here. Every approach is tailored to meet you where you are with real strategies that work for your goals.

Subconscious rewiring

By working with the subconscious, I help you rewire the thought patterns that hold you back – unlocking change that feels natural and sticks.

Sustainable performance

Success doesn’t have to cost you your wellbeing (I know this from lived experience). I help you perform with alignment to your inner self, so you grow sustainably.

Success – from stuck to unstoppable
