Liz Leonard

Stress and Anxiety Coach

Liz is an experienced wellness & life coach, master practitioner of NLP, MER & Hypnosis, and somatic healer who specializes in stress & anxiety.

With a profound understanding of the mind-body connection, I specialize in empowering you to somatically heal your relationship with emotions and anxiety through Nervous System Regulation and Energetics. My mission is to help others heal their dysregulated systems from unresolved trauma & stuck emotions to step into autonomy, self-expression and safety to embrace change and cultivate a greater sense of purpose. We no longer have to live a life driven through protection mechanisms from past traumas, with this work we are able to choose our reality & manifest our deepest desires into our physical world.

Laura Weissflog

NARM Therapist

Laura is a family psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, psychotherapist, somatic experiencing practitioner and NARM therapist who specializes in working with clients experiencing symptoms of complex trauma.

The NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM) addresses attachment, relational and developmental trauma. This unique and developmentally-oriented model emphasizes helping clients establish connection to the parts of self that are organized, coherent and functional.

By supporting client awareness of self in the present moment, they are able to discover

what childhood survival patterns from the past are interfering with being present and in connection with the self and others. Building on their strengths, while tracking connection/disconnection and regulation/dysregulation, reinforces connection to the self in the present moment, and allows them to experience a sense of agency.

“I utilize this neuro-scientifically informed mind-body approach through relational practice with my clients. It has not only transformed my clinical practice, but my own personal work as a client myself. Not only do I see organic and lasting change in myself and my clients, but I’m supporting what my clients most want for themselves: their deepest heart’s desire.”
