The invitation

Anam Cara (AH-num KAH-ra) is an old Gaelic phrase meaning “soul friend.” I invite you to slow down, listen deeply, and notice where God is already at work in your life. Through prayerful conversation, discernment, and compassionate presence, I offer accompaniment for those longing to live with greater clarity, faithfulness, and wholeness. This is not about fixing or striving, it’s about attending to the movements of the Holy Spirit and learning to walk more unhurried and fully in step with God.

“He will be like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither.”

— Psalm 1:3

An introductory discernment call to explore your season of life and discern whether this accompaniment is right for you.

Areas of accompaniment

Where I walk with you

01
Spiritual Practice & Soul Care

Creating space to notice what is shifting, building simple, grounded practices in stillness, prayer, and reflection that shape everything else.

02
Relational & Holy Longing

Holding space for desire, waiting, grief, and discernment around relationships. Staying open and fully alive to the season you're actually in, even when it's tender.

03
Leader Development

Supporting creatives and managers navigating vision, burnout, and calling rooted in integrity rather than urgency or reactivity.

About Leigh

An aspiring desert mother, I didn’t arrive at this work because I have all the answers, I arrived because I needed accompaniment myself. My journey has moved through long seasons of burnout and creativity, chaos and clarity, brokenness and rebuilding. I know what it’s like to carry responsibility quietly, to appear steady on the outside while something deeper asks for attention.

To love God deeply and still hold hard questions. To sense that without space to listen, something in your inner life will eventually make itself known.

Along the way, I encountered the gift of being accompanied, not fixed or managed, but truly listened to. This experience reshapes how I lead, how I relate, and how I live.

Today, I work with individuals who are thoughtful about their lives and leadership, as a trusted companion, advisor and thinking partner. Together, we cultivate clarity, presence, and internal alignment, learning to discern and hear God’s voice more clearly so that life and leadership are not only effective, but sustainable and whole. All of it grounded in the Word of God.

My work is shaped by 15 years inside creative leadership environments as well as prayer and discipleship, supporting people through seasons of pressure, growth, and change. I’m continually learning, refining, and deepening my own practice. If you’re carrying more than you let on, or sensing there’s something deeper asking for your attention, I’d be honored to walk with you.

How we will walk together

Most people begin with a complimentary 30 minute discernment call. From there, we choose the rhythm that fits your season, a steady monthly cadence, a deeper container of regular access, or a structured program built for a specific season of formation.

On-going 1:1 Accompaniment

For those seeking a steady, trusted companion over time. Each tier scales the depth of access and pacing — you can move between them as your season changes. Suitable for both spiritual direction and leadership/coaching work; the difference between them lives in what we focus on, not in the container.

Grounded

A simple, consistent rhythm for those beginning, space for needed discernment or maintaining a contemplative practice without overcommitting.

Monthly · 1 hour · plus a brief written follow-up $80/month

Intentional

· For those in active formation, transition or discernment who need more than monthly support.
· Scheduled flexibly Monday–Friday, Email and text access
· Customized practices and reflections between sessions.

Monthly · Four 60-90 minute sessions · 1 hour $1,000/month

Concierge

· Designed for those who need their inner life resourced at the pace their outer life demands.
· Scheduled flexibly Monday–Friday, priority access and aligned weekend flexibility
· Deeper involvement in life rhythms: habits, relationships, transitions.
· Includes an optional half-day or full-day intensive, monthly or quarterly.

Weekly 60-90 minute sessions $2000-$5,000/month

Add-ons
Extended Discernment Session

Cost should never be a barrier. A limited number of sliding-scale spaces are available. If finances are a concern, reach out and we'll find a way.

Programs

Structured containers for specific seasons of formation.

  • Confidentiality & Duty of Care
    All sessions are held in confidence and with respect for your privacy. Information shared will not be disclosed without your consent, except if I sense that you or someone you know may be in immediate danger, I may need to involve appropriate authorities or licensed professionals; or where I am compelled by law to disclose. In these cases, I reserve the right and responsibility to contact appropriate authorities, emergency services, or support resources to protect safety. NDA available upon request.

    Scope of Responsibility
    Spiritual direction, Anam Cara companionship, discipleship, and spiritual life coaching are voluntary, reflective practices focused on spiritual formation and discernment. You remain fully responsible for your own decisions, actions, and well-being. This work does not replace professional medical, psychological, legal, or crisis services.

    Safety & Boundaries
    I reserve the right to pause, redirect, or terminate a session or ongoing relationship if, in my discernment, continuing would compromise emotional, spiritual, or physical safety for either party. This includes situations involving inappropriate behavior, boundary violations, or content that exceeds the scope of this work.

    Limitation of Liability
    By engaging in these services, you acknowledge that participation is at your own discretion and risk. I am not liable for outcomes resulting from personal decisions, actions, or interpretations made outside of sessions.

    Fees & Payment
    Fees for services are listed clearly at the time of booking. Payment is due in advance of each session unless otherwise arranged in writing. Sessions will not be held without completed payment.

    Cancellations & Rescheduling
    If you need to cancel or reschedule a session, at least 24 hours’ notice is required. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice may be charged the full session fee, except in cases of emergency. Sessions may not be carried over month-to-month for ongoing direction. The work depends on consistency.

    No-Shows
    Sessions missed without notice may be charged at the full session rate.

    Late Arrivals
    If you arrive late, the session will still end at the scheduled time to honor commitments to others.

    Financial Accessibility
    A limited number of sliding-scale or reduced-fee sessions may be available upon request, subject to availability.

  • 1. Is this work only for women?
    No, with exception to the Inner Life Protocol, I am focused on supporting women in their spiritual, creative, and leadership journeys. I will consider men depending on the nature of accompaniment.

    2. What is the difference between spiritual accompaniment / coaching and therapy or counseling?
    This work is not therapy or counseling. It is a space for reflection, discernment, and growth in your faith, creativity, relationships, and leadership. If a situation arises that is outside the scope of this work, I will help connect you with appropriate support. I also greatly encourage professional therapy and counseling for deeper work alongside.

    3. How long is each session?
    Sessions are typically 60-120 minutes. I also offer a 30-minute introductory session at no cost for new participants to discern fit and expectations. Each 1:1 will follow a similar format:

    1. Silence and Welcome Prayer (10 min)

    2. Updates + Review of past week (30-40 min)

      1. How is your soul?

      2. Struggles and successes.

      3. What is the Jesus and scripture speaking to you?

      4. Invitation for confession

      5. Invitation to surrender

    3. Silence and Listening Prayer (20+ min)

    4. How often should I meet?
    Many clients meet monthly or twice a month, but the frequency is flexible and tailored to your needs and availability.

    5. Is everything I share confidential?
    Yes. All conversations are confidential, except in situations where there may be harm to yourself or others, in which case I am ethically required to contact authorities to ensure safety.

    6. How does payment work?
    Payment for regular sessions is due in advance via Venmo or Zelle. Packages or bulk sessions can be paid upfront and are non-refundable once started.

    7. Do I need to have a specific faith or background?
    This practice is rooted in Christian faith, and a desire to grow spiritually is important. You do not need to be in a specific denomination, but an openness to faith-based guidance is essential.
