Embers to Flight

Phoenix Coaching for Big Life Changes

 

A Message From Leucas

My journey reads like a tapestry woven with threads of resilience and self-discovery. It's been a wild ride, marked by moments that tugged at my soul.

From the courageous leap of transitioning genders to embracing queerness, I've weathered profound shifts. I toggled between the rigidity of academia and the liberating embrace of entrepreneurship, each step a lesson in authenticity and purpose.

The evolution from a devoted vegan to exploring a qualitarian diet was more than just food choices. It was a profound journey, a realization of the intricate connection between individual health and our precious planet's well-being.

Navigating the intricate dynamics with my parents, from times of disconnection to peaceful reunions, taught me patience, empathy, and the requirements for healing within intimate relationships. My relationships have transformed, from a monogamous foundation to embracing polyamory, and I've learned the value of open communication and setting healthy boundaries.

In the realm of creativity, I've found solace and passion in music, drawing, and photography. These outlets are not just hobbies; they are my way of breathing life into emotions and rejuvenating my spirit.

My explorations in fitness have been an odyssey, from an aspiring pro golfer in my teens, to rugby in college, and then finding my center in the meditative embrace of yoga and the exhilaration of surfing.

My journey spans coast-to-coast in the U.S., across Asia, and diverse living experiences—from homes to cars and vanlife. I've also worked in the frozen beauty of Antarctica, experiencing life in one of the Earth's most remote places.

But the most transformative chapter arrived in the past year, a whirlwind that reshaped my perspective and anchored my purpose. It began with a meeting of mentors I deeply trusted, a journey that led me to Bali and, ultimately, exposed a destructive path. This revelation became a crucible for my own salvation, underscoring the strength that resides within us all.

And then, amidst this journey, my path revealed a deeper truth: an acceptance of my lifelong chronic illness. This revelation strengthened the intimate link between individual health and our relationship with the planet. It was further amplified by my father's courageous battle with stage four colon cancer. Now, I see with the utmost clarity: humanity's well-being and the Earth's vitality are in an intricate dance of interdependence.

Today, I stand firm in my mission to create a sanctuary for physical healing, seamlessly woven with a regenerative farm. This isn't just a dream; it's a blueprint for transformation. This space will be a haven for individuals to receive the boundless energy of the earth as they embark on their own healing journey.

If you're ready to experience the alchemy when our two worlds collide, to unlock your full potential for a joyful and fulfilling life, then let’s connect today.

In Love,

Leucas

 
 

What Do Sessions Look Like?

I get it - life's a whirlwind. Striking that balance between personal and professional life, finding your purpose, and experiencing genuine joy can feel like a tall order. That's where I come in. My coaching programs are like your compass. Together, we'll map out a journey that guides you towards a life that's not just congruent with your values, but one that truly fulfills you.

In our sessions, we'll roll up our sleeves and dive into those areas where you're feeling a bit adrift. We'll sift through the beliefs and behaviors that might be holding you back. I remember this one pivotal moment with a client. We kept circling back to a simple question: "Why does it matter?" It was like peeling back layers, and together, we unearthed the truth. She'd pursued a literature degree because it was expected, not what truly lit her up. Now? She's in culinary school, weaving her passion with purpose, building a haven for political refugees.

In the midst of today's hustle and bustle, taking care of yourself often ends up on the back burner. Let's change that. I'll help you find self-care practices that resonate with you, weaving them into routines that nurture your mind, body, and spirit. Think exercise, restful sleep, mindfulness, whole foods, and yes, even curbing that screen time.

Communication - it's the linchpin of our personal and professional lives. If you're finding it a tad tricky to express your needs and desires, I've got your back. We'll work on building confidence and assertiveness, so your voice rings clear. After working with me, clients find themselves having those vital check-ins with partners, colleagues, and bosses, opening up avenues for growth.

You can always expect introspective questions from me that gently push you to dive deeper. Together, we'll shatter those patterns that hold you back and rediscover the boundless potential within you. However my coaching is always trauma informed, we will move through topics organically and let your nervous system set the pace.

My style of coaching heavily relies on deep, introspective conversations mixed with a sprinkling of tangible guided practices. Drawing from techniques inspired by Buddhism, meditation, yoga, hypnotherapy, and somatic experiencing, I'll guide you through practices like visualization, inner child work, breath work, and body-based exercises. These sessions are designed to help you mend past wounds, find clarity, and discover the path forward that is congruent with your values.

We always conclude our sessions by co-creating action items that feel fitting for you. These actionable steps empower you to take real-world and embodied action after our sessions, ensuring that the insights gained during our time together translate into meaningful progress in your life.

Here's some experiences that my incredible clients have had in common:

Unfulfilling Careers - Many have stood right where you are, dissatisfied with their career. It's like being caught in a loop, unsure about the next step. Together, we've unearthed passions, strengths, and values, creating roadmaps to more fulfilling professional lives.

Self-Care Rediscovery - It's so easy to put self-care on the backburner. My clients have been there, neglecting their well-being, leading to burnout. We've walked together on a path of reconnection, crafting routines that nourish minds, bodies, and spirits, reestablishing equilibrium.

Screens and Sleep Struggles - Excessive screen time, poor sleep - familiar struggles, right? We've tackled them head-on. Establishing boundaries with technology, creating digital detoxes, and building bedtime rituals - it's a journey to better sleep hygiene.

Emotional Expression - Some have felt a bit out of sync with their emotions, leading to hiccups in relationships. Together, we've honed emotional awareness, and I've equipped them with tools to express themselves genuinely at work and at home.

Clear Conversations - Effective communication is a game-changer, but it's not always easy. Many clients have shared their battles in articulating their needs. I've been there to guide them, fostering assertiveness and opening channels for honest conversations with colleagues, bosses and loved ones.

Navigating Uncertainty - Anxiety, depression, the great unknown - it's part of many journeys. Through coaching, I've offered tools to manage anxiety, light the way through uncertainty, and reignite purpose and direction.

Client Wins

I've had the privilege of witnessing remarkable transformations. One client stood at the crossroads of a life-altering decision: to stay in a marriage or embark on a new chapter. Through our sessions, she found not just answers, but a profound sense of self-worth and the courage to forge ahead.

Another took a daring leap, leaving the corporate world behind to pursue the healing arts. In this shift, she discovered a newfound freedom and a deeper connection to her passions. Then, there was the academic, whose love for culinary arts and social work ignited a fire within her. She found fulfillment and purpose in this unexpected journey.

One client crafted a unique managerial role within her company, pushing boundaries and carving her own path. Eventually, she set forth on a new adventure, driven by her creative spirit and a passion for social justice. Each of these journeys was marked by the creation of support structures in their personal and professional lives—spaces for regular reflection, check-ins, and discussions on what truly mattered.

These success stories are not mere anecdotes; they are the embodiment of dedicated work and the power of a tailored coaching approach. From recommitting to self care routines to finding balance with screen time, my clients have emerged with newfound vitality. Quality sleep became non-negotiable, and clients discovered their emotions and their ability to express them.

For those grappling with anxiety, depression, or the daunting unknown, know that you're not alone. Many of my clients have navigated similar challenges, and together, we've forged a path toward clarity and purpose.

If you're ready to break free from stagnation and create a life filled with purpose, passion, and harmonious relationships, I invite you to reach out to me at Leucas Loves Coaching. Let's embark on this transformative journey together and unlock your full potential for a joyful and fulfilling life.

 

 

Praises for Leucas’ Work

 
 
Working with Leucas as a coach has been a life-changing experience. When we started our calls, I was feeling stuck in many ways, wanting peace and not knowing how or where to find it. I was on an academic path that didn’t feel aligned with the way I wanted to exist in the world, but wasn’t fully aware of it. I was studying literature but didn’t quite know what for anymore. During one especially life-changing conversation, Leucas helped me connect to my sense of purpose, to a very deep « why ». I realized I wanted to shift my focus from fiction to real life, from the literary to the political and teach French to asylum seekers here in Paris. Leucas also guided me in somatic practices which I still use to this day. Not only did Leucas coach me into imagining new and exciting possibilities for myself, he took the time to look at the whole picture, including the causes of what had been holding me back until now. The somatic work I did with Leucas helped me connect safely to the present moment and enabled me to take action.

With wise guidance, fiery encouragement and radical understanding, Leucas has helped me unearth my truest values and a new-found sense of faith in who I am and wish to be in this world.

 Working with Leucas has given me the positivity, strength and focus to move forward with important life changing decisions. Not only have I identified an exciting new career path, I have found the inner balance to prioritize what I truly enjoy.

I started in a place of heartbreak with a dysregulated nervous system due to my living situation, feeling unsafe and like life was happening to me. I now live in a place of gratitude, creating the life of my dreams, flowing with the universe and realizing the abundance I am stepping into as me. I quit my comfortable full time job to pursue my entrepreneurial dream and I’m now living with an open heart, receptive to love and all the beauty of this life, whereas before I was scared and guarded.

Leucas has the ability to meet you with the supportive energy of an old trusted companion, and the encouragement of a new curious friend all at once. When we met a few months ago, I was miserable at my job and desperate for change. But I was letting fear run the show and couldn’t bring myself to take the leap. Leucas gently invited me to let myself actually feel the relief and freedom I was seeking in my body, in that moment, and it really caused a shift. I quit my job less than a month later and I’m busy building the life I want, right now!!!
