LeeAnne LeeAnn describes herself as a hummingbird. A collector of life experiences not a pursuer of a single passion. Her quest for knowledge, skill and wisdom has led her down many roads in business, the arts and healing. As a yogi of 20 years, a Qigong practitioner, certified Shaman in the Medicine Wheel lineage, and certified sound healer she’s allowed herself to explore with the freedom of knowing she is not limited. This essence of being limitless is what sets LeeAnn apart and what draws humanity to her. She genuinely believes that each and everyone of us is capable of living the life they imagine; pain free, with joy, immersed in a complete love of themselves. LeeAnn considers herself a researcher, studying the way trauma, grief and our environment can shift the natural frequency and resonance of our bodies. When we become out of balance with our natural frequency of 7.83, also the frequency of the earth itself, the body gradually falls into dis-ease. Because this happens gradually over time, initiated by trauma or a grief journey, chronic pain, or the tendency to move from one illness to another is often misdiagnosed. Western medicine is not accustomed to treating the whole person, which can prolong health indefinitely. 

Sound therapy is an ancient healing modality that was first practiced by the Greeks. After thousands of years this noninvasive method of healing is quickly becoming mainstream once again, as we are becoming more and more aware that mind and body are interconnected. Healing occurs with ease when the whole person is treated. When we are in right balance with ourselves, fear, doubt, and suffering fall away, allowing our true selves to emerge with clarity.
