These are heavy, strange times to be a person in the world. It's easy to slip into simply getting through the days — the news, the to-do list, the endless demands of adult life — and forget what it feels like to dream, create and feel truly alive.
You don't have to find your way through it alone.
I'm Leona — a life coach, ecotherapist, nature-based practitioner and ceremonial leader. I help people reconnect with themselves, each other and the living world through honest conversation, nature connection, fire, and practices that bring more meaning into everyday life.
Whether you're feeling quietly overwhelmed, standing at a crossroads, navigating a big life transition, or sensing that you're surviving rather than really living, there is a way to work with me that fits.
Ways to Work with Me
This is the bit where you stop trying to hold it all together on your own.
Wherever you are, join, live gatherings, seasonal practices and a growing library of resources — a space to slow down and remember what matters, alongside people asking the same questions you are.
Because connection isn't something we achieve once. It's something we practise.
One-to-one coaching for those who are ready to make a meaningful change.
Together we'll explore where you are now, what's calling you forward, and what needs to shift so you can create a life that feels more aligned with who you truly are.
Twelve deep conversations, supported by voice notes between sessions, reflection practices and clear next steps — so the work continues beyond our time together.
There are some things we can only understand by experiencing them.
My in-person gatherings create space for connection, reflection and renewal through nature, fire, circle and ceremony.
From online courses to quests, retreats and seasonal gatherings in Hebden Bridge and Manchester, these are opportunities to step out of ordinary life and reconnect with something deeper.
A connected life needs a compass
Underneath all my work is the Life Compass — a framework for exploring what creates a truly connected and fulfilling life.
Together we explore the areas that shape our experience: vision and purpose, personal practice, emotional wellbeing, relationships, health, belonging, growth, work and contribution.
The framework itself isn't something you buy separately — it's the map woven through my coaching, membership and gatherings. If you want the complete, structured version to work through in full, that's Life Compass Mastery, included with Belong membership.
Alongside this sits the wisdom of cultural emergence, the Eight Shields model of nature connection, and practices that help us create the conditions for healthier relationships — with ourselves, each other and the wider living world.
This is not about becoming someone different.
It's about remembering who you are and creating the conditions for that person to thrive.
Connection Matters Podcast
Conversations for a more connected way of living
Connection Matters brings together heart-centred, nature-connected and curious people exploring one big question:
How can we create a more connected, meaningful and regenerative way of living — for ourselves, our communities and the wider world?
Through conversations about nature connection, personal growth, ceremony, culture, healing and transformation, the podcast explores the ideas and practices that help us live more consciously.
