INTEGRATIVE WELL-BEING: My practice focuses on balancing the whole person. I offer personalized wellness programs and partner with my patients to take an active and empowering role in creating their physical, emotional, spiritual & relational health . My specialties include gentle chiropractic care, applied kinesiology, nutritional support and holistic coaching.

CORE-LEVEL COACHING: I have a true passion for coaching, leading retreats, and offering stress management courses and wellness education to individuals, teams and companies. What makes this cutting-edge coaching model unique are:

1) The 12 Core Dynamics of Common Problems - the language and structure for understanding the nature of human conditioning and exactly how it causes inner conflicts that keep people stuck.

2) Pure Awareness Techniques - a series of profound, easy to learn and empowering experiential tools that add the dimension of feeling, and mindfulness to the coaching conversation. You will experience a sense of spaciousness, purpose and connection to the entire circle of life.

3) The Mind/Body Connection - subtle energy tools including muscle response testing that honor your inner healer and ability to self-correct.

Clients consistently report life enhancing effects that are deep, dynamic and immediate. This is not therapy - it is a process of educating the client to become aware of, access and utilize innate capacities. Whether you choose to focus on business matters or on the shift of a purely personal issue, our innovative coaching gives you the tools to vaporize the often unconscious issues that hold you back.

Leta's coaching style owes much to the work of Tom Stone and his Human Software Engineering (tm) model. A longtime student of this extraordinary teacher, Leta is a certified trainer within his Core Dynamics Teacher's program.

My favorite folks to work with these days are:

1. HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS: With 25 years experience as a chiropractor, wellness educator and corporate coach I bring a compassionate heart, a discerning eye, a sense of humor and a unique ability to help a practitoner re-ignite the soul of their practice. There are wonderful conversations to be had and breakthoughs to experience in the areas of personal and professional sustainability, work-life balance, financial health , emotional intelligence and leaving a legacy.

2. THOSE FOCUSING ON HEALTH CHALLENGES AND LIFE TRANSITIONS: Conventional coaching often involves helping people to clarify what it is that they really want, then helping them to make a plan to get it and then keeping them accountable for accomplishing their specific health related goals. This can be transforming and life-enhancing work. In addition, I ask my clients to look a little deeper and shoot a little higher: to align with their core values and highest personal vision, to consistently come from the power of their own inner knowing, to be a person who experiences life in a state of wholeness, self-appreciation and joy.

3. INDIES AND SMALL COMPANIES: I have spent the last 9 years of my professional life working in the Corporate arena and Wellness field with personal and team coaching, mind/body balance training and stress-less strategies. I especially love helping a company craft and sustain a culture that deeply reflects its highest values and vision. Those I have worked with report finding renewed curiosity, creativity, commitment, passion and purpose in both their personal and professional lives.

My travels and studies have taken me all over the world and have gifted me with a deep understanding of and compassion for the universal human condition and the journey that we share.

I have been told by many clients that my greatest gift has simply been helping them remember the essence of who they are and what they are here to bring forth.

I think poet Mary Oliver's quote may best sum up the deepest question:"Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

Does anyone know of a great Biznik event venue in North County? Seattle was full of wonderful options but am not finding them here yet...

In addition, I am personally looking for a progressive company in San Diego North County that is interested in adding a stress reduction expert and personal coach to their staff on a part-time basis. I am also available to provide in-office patient-ed classes and lifestyle coaching in local doctors offices, corporations, and health spas.

Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic degrees from Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. A bevy of coaching mentors: Dr. Billie Francis (Certified "Guiding Mindful Change" Coach), Dr. Maria Nemeth, Drs. Gay and Katie Hendrix (Quantum Coaching), Tom Stone (Core DynamicsCoaching Instructor Certification) and Brian Seaward (Holistic Stress Management Instructor Certification).

My life has been, and continues to be, a wonderful journey. The common thread running through my professional career has been helping others reach their highest physical, emotional, mental and spiritual potentials. Always an educator at heart, one of my favorite life phases was founding a non-profit educational foundation in Tucson, AZ that included a Montessori school and an adult-ed center that taught courses in yoga, parent effectiveness, t'ai chi, meditation, applied kinesiology and mutiple other self-healing strategies. I next focused on my life-long dream to be a holistic physician and healer. This took me into the personally fulfilling world of chiropractic for several decades where I established several multi-disciplined clinics in AZ and CA. For the last ten years I have been offering coaching, alternative healthcare and stress management trainings to individuals, corporations, spas, retreat centers internationally.
