About Leanne

Life is meant to be enjoyed. It starts with feeling good. 

I'm Leanne — writer and poet, certified Reiki Master, intuitive guide, and host of The Living Wellness Muse podcast.

How it all began…
After two decades as a high-performing wedding planner, I found myself unraveling from the weight of overachievement and perfectionism. I didn’t know how to stop. I was suffering physically, emotionally, and mentally, my relationships were limping along, and I was burned-out from every angle. I knew a weekend away or a vacation wasn’t enough to recover me — I needed a soul-deep reset.

I left my 25-year career and began a journey to rediscover what it means to not just to get through the day, but to feel alive, rested, on-purpose, and excited about life again.

I believe healing is one of the bravest acts of love we can offer ourselves. It’s about learning to embrace all of life — the messy and the beautiful — and finding a better way to live through the integration of the spirit realm and the natural world.

Along the way, I became a Master Reiki Energy Healer, walked through the sacred rites of the Munay-Ki tradition, and learned to live more slowly, honoring the sacred in the everyday. To me, a well-lived life looks like a mountain hike on Sunday morning, strong espresso, and sourdough pulled from the oven. I practice yoga and meditate. I live for deep conversations and friendships that foster wisdom and self-trust. I love a plane ticket to anywhere I can remember myself in connection with others. And even more, I love coming home to life in Santa Barbara Wine Country with my husband, our three brilliant children, two beloved kitties, and a flock of backyard hens.

I sincerely believe that we are meant to live in joy and purpose, right now in the fullness of our real, everyday lives. Today, I write, speak, and hold space for those ready to live with more grace, depth, and truth. I support those who are ready to release old patterns, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and step into a more purposeful, joy-filled chapter of life.

This is my heart-work, and it’s an honor to walk alongside others on their healing journey.
