Welcome! I’m Leslie, a holistic therapist, and coach. In this video, I’m sharing my personal journey out of the fog of disconnection, uncertainty, and self-doubt—toward a life of authenticity, peace, and purpose.I know how hard life can feel when you’re overwhelmed by struggles with money, relationships, careers, and family. I’ve been there too.

Through The LooM, my practice and online space, I provide support in the form of therapy, coaching, courses, and accessible resources for those who might not otherwise have access to mental health support.In this video, I explain my mission and how I’m here to guide you on your own healing journey.

In this video, I explore the complex emotional experience of feeling both excitement and dread when preparing for something important, like visiting family or facing a meaningful event. These dual feelings are more common than we realize, especially when past experiences, family dynamics, or anxiety are involved. Together, we’ll dive into why this emotional mix happens, how to sit with it, and practical ways to navigate it with self-compassion. If you’ve ever felt torn between anticipation and hesitation, this discussion is for you.Let’s explore how to honor both emotions and move forward mindfully.
