Welcome to a New Chapter in Your Wellness Journey

At the heart of my somatic therapy practice, I am committed to two things: alleviating your immediate discomfort and empowering your journey toward lasting well-being. I understand the challenges posed by negative symptoms and difficult experiences, and I am dedicated to helping you manage and reduce these burdens. My approach is more than just a path away from discomfort—it’s a gateway to fostering positive behaviors and achieving your aspirations.

With my guidance, you’ll discover that relief from pain is just the beginning. I offer not only solutions for today but also hope for a brighter future—a future you might not yet see, but one that is definitely possible. Join me in exploring transformative healing and take a proactive step towards a life filled with vitality and fulfillment.

More about Leanne Brown

Leanne has always been interested in the roots of things and the question of why are we here? She loves people more than anything and watching people share their authentic expression brings her the most joy. From an early age she noticed that so many of us are holding back from expressing our true nature in the world—including herself. She embarked on a journey to try to make a difference and to free herself.

She started her career in local politics in Canada, observing how people strive to build community and connection, but struggle with external and internal blocks to what they really want. On an external level this experience is manifested in how hard it can be to simply set up a food system that is equitable and abundant for all. On an internal level it looks like not being able to make healthy food choices for ourselves because we are depressed, anxious or believing we are not worth it.

Leanne left politics, got a masters in Food Studies from New York University and created two cookbooks, Good and Cheap, and Good Enough in order to address these external and internal struggles. What began as an intellectual understanding of nourishment has blossomed into a deep commitment to the practice of embodiment.

Before discovering the transformative powers of yoga and meditation, Leanne found solace and connection in the kitchen. Cooking served as her unwitting entry point into the world of embodiment, allowing her to engage with her senses, experiment with food, and tune into her body’s needs and reactions. This intuitive relationship with food and cooking was, in essence, her first foray into a somatic practice.

Leanne’s exploration of yoga and meditation opened her eyes to the importance of embodying nourishment beyond the plate. Leanne is dedicated to demystifying the concept of embodiment and illuminating its many pathways. She believes in the power of mindful eating, conscious movement, and a deep attunement to the body’s signals as integral components of a balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life.

She now works individually and in groups and classes to guide people into a trusting relationship with themselves. Her own life is an expression of the power of this practice. From the birth of her daughter to the dissolution of her marriage to the death of her father and finding love and marriage again Leanne uses the content of her life experience to grow, learn and ultimately help and guide others. She does not shy away from hard truths and believes that we are always transforming and growing. Her commitment to sharing the insights gained from her personal transformation with others underscores her belief that embodiment is a lifestyle, one that is enriching, attainable, and essential for true wellness.

If this resonates with you please listen to your intuition and go deeper. Reach out. Book a session or just stay open. Your true nature is calling you.
