Your Guide Leah
“When you realize what you’re capable of on your own terms, something ignites — and growth becomes inevitable.”
Hi, I’m Leah — and I’m so grateful you’re here. I bring personal practice and professional experience into everything I teach.
.
Bloom in Tulum was created as an intentional pause for those who give deeply and move quickly through full, demanding lives. I wanted to create a space that gently pulls you out of the constant noise and pressure — not just to rest your body, but to reconnect with what truly matters to you.
While Pilates and yoga absolutely support strength and balance, I believe true renewal goes deeper than the physical body. My intention is for you to leave with renewed clarity and a sense of inner alignment that supports you long after you return home.
Bloom in Tulum is about more than stepping away — it’s about remembering who you are beneath the busy roles and responsibilities, and returning home feeling centered, intentional, and deeply nourished.
With love,
Leah

Testimonial:
with Leah from the retreat to Ireland
"What an incredible journey it’s been at Leah’s retreat in Ireland’s countryside. Fortunate to be on a journey only few get to experience; made possible by the love support guidance of a great teacher I found Leah to be. The other women at the retreat helped me to learn and grow as a result of their presence in ways I had not imagined. The amazing staff at Creacon Wellness Center and the beautiful grounds; Ireland gorgeous country side made soul searching and renewal a little easier as difficult a process as that can be. I am leaving the retreat sad that it is ending but inspired for a new beginning."

My certifications and professional experience
I’ve been teaching and facilitating workshops for over 15 years, blending science-backed practices with intuitive wisdom. Along the way, I’ve trained as
A certified ICF ACC level coach,
Over 1000 hrs of Pilates training hours and countless teaching hours
Certified Vishoka meditation instructor
Crystal Sound Healing facilitator
Para Yoga Nidra teacher
500-hour Rod Stryker Hatha yoga teacher
former GYROKINESIS® instructor, and
SIYLI graduate.
What all of my trainings really means, is that I care deeply about creating experiences that feel both nurturing and intelligently designed, so you feel supported, safe, and empowered in your body.
I’ve had the privilege of working with Fortune 500 companies, teaching at five-star resorts, leading international retreats, and sharing my work at yoga festivals and women’s conferences. What matters most to me, though, is helping women take what we practice together and apply it to real life — in ways that feel doable, meaningful, and lasting.
