A little bit about me...

I’m Leah and I prefer dogs to most people.

I don’t have a job title, the most concise I can get it is ‘I create experiences that bring people to life’. You may know me as the founder of Soulful Sunrise, which is a collection of experiences that bring people together through music, yoga, dance and storytelling. It’s a place where people can truly be themselves and celebrate the good, the bad and the ugly parts of life. All our experiences are alcohol free, we like to party without the hangover and be totally in the experience rather than out of it.

I’m a bit of a walking contradiction. I love house music and dance floors, and equally love quiet time in nature, reading books, listening to podcasts and walking my dog.

I’ve experienced a lot of grief - 6 years ago my brother and sister died in the same week. My brother died by suicide and my sister from alcoholic liver disease, but I believe they really died of deep unhappiness and couldn’t bare to be themselves in the world as they are. This is pretty much why I do the work I do, I know what it’s like to feel dead inside and so I teach people how to love and accept themselves and prioritise their own joy!

Ok, I know that was pretty heavy shit , I promise it gets better.....

I’m great at dealing with crisis and big problems, but if I can’t unravel a knot in my headphones or open a pack of weetabix I lose my shit, want to throw it through the window and scream in rage!!!

I can play the harp 🎶

I’m fiercely independent and struggle to ask for help. I’m learning to be more open and vulnerable with people. (This is me practising right now).

I hate scary or gory films, and won’t watch anything over a 12. In fact don’t ask me to the cinema. I’ll come to a gig instead!

Oh that was fun. So how about you? Do we have anything in common? I would love to know.
