My name is Leona Johnson and I coach people through life transitions to embrace change, unlock potential and lead more purposeful and fulfilling lives.

With my background in Ecotherapy and Ceremonial Leadership, I've devoted my career to guiding individuals like you through transformative life journeys. My passion is in helping people foster profound connections with their deepest self and with nature, in order to inspire abundant and thriving lives and make possible a regenerative culture for all. I have supported people time and again to step into the fullest expression of themselves in a way that they had previously never been able to imagine.

My journey began as a young adult when I became acutley aware of what is now known by some as ‘disconnection sickness’. Not only with those I worked with as a front line child protection social worker, not only with what I saw amongst friends grasping for community but also in myself and my own struggles to find purpose and belonging.

In my quest I travelled through many versions of myself. An artist, an activist, a trainer and facilitator, a project and events organiser, a child sexual exploitation worker, parent programme co-ordinator and community organiser to name but a few. I traveled to Gaza, behind the blockade, to work with children affected by trauma. I traveled to a Refugee Camp in Greece and set up women’s safe spaces. I facilitated numerous temporary autonomous zones in Manchester for inter-cultural creativity and learning.

After becoming a Mother, in 2011, I realised that my action needed to be more grounded in my community at home. My focus became creating solutions for tomorrow rather than battling the struggles of the world today.

I was one of the founders of an alternative education provision both as a parent and organiser supporting the Home and Steiner Education Provision in Calderdale, West Yorkshire.

In 2012 I became a founder member of Live Wild CIC which is a community based organisation that creates opportunities for people to live closer to nature in a more connected culture. Live Wild are now renouned experts in the field of nature connection training and events for children and adults accross the UK.
