What past students have said

”Lea’s classes one can learn and learn, and learn from. The speech, the metaphors used, clues, empowerment, connection and ability to pass on the knowledge and energy to connect the students with themselves and something bigger than themselves. Also, strong, wise and powerful feminine aspect of Lea’s energy is striking as one of a kind. Strength yet gentleness, stability yet open mindedness, strong core yet immense amount of kindness and openness to others. Adjustments, verbal cues, real care, presence, love, atmosphere and strength all been creating a wonderful experience.” Olena, Russia
