guiding therapists
from depletion
to aliveness.
Explore the Energetics of the Therapeutic Relationship:
Transform anxiety, irritation, and self-doubt into compassionate service and creativity.
Be energized by your practice.
Every. Day.
it is possible to serve without depletion:
Healer and mentor Leif Ariel works with professional therapists, coaches, and wellness practitioners to change the paradigm that being in a caring profession is ‘draining work’.
I help practitioners fall in love with their work again by teaching them to transform ‘their flaws’ into creative fuel.
You’re a gifted practitioner, but each year the weight gets a little heavier. It’s time to end the cycle of over-extension, self-doubt and chronic depletion.
Yes, the industry practically systematizes burnout, but your agency within the therapeutic relationship itself can guide you to freedom.
It is absolutely possible to:
*End the pattern of compassion-fatigue and be in deep emotional connection with your clients without taking on their pain.
*Take off the ‘therapist mask’ once & for all and be yourself in session without compromising therapeutic boundaries.
*Show up in sessions with embodied confidence, knowing that your gifts are worthy to be shared.
*Have energy to connect with loved ones and follow your passions at the end of the day.
“Leif creates a safe and compassionate environment in which to confront hard truths and push deeper into healing, her guidance and wise counsel are invaluable.”

but how…
Once you directly experience the way energy moves between you and your clients…the pieces fall into place.
Tension headaches, constant stress, frustration & annoyance towards clients, feeling like you’re living behind a mask, taking on the burden of each crisis.
You been there?
In flow, confident, relaxed, spacious, creative, compassionate, passionate.
You’ve probably had moments there too.
What’s the difference?
It’s not about becoming a ‘better therapist’. It’s about accepting that your humanity is as important as your skill set.
“Leif is a tremendously insightful human and gifted guide. They have a gift for seeing the beauty and value of others and convincing you of your beauty and value. In working with Leif, they challenged me to reflect on how I walk through life, to hold those patterns up like a mirror and see how they may or may not be true to my “self.” Leif looks you in the eye with a passion, conviction, and energy that pulls you, like a magnetic force, toward your true self. Over a month after being on a “rites of passage” trip with Leif, I still feel this pull: a pull towards myself, a pull towards relationships with others, and a pull towards the things I want. I am forever grateful for the time and energy that Leif poured into me and hope that our paths cross again.”

“Leif is a gifted healer who uses her core balanced and intuitive self to help so many other people. In my life, she has done amazing energy work that projected me into a deeper healing from childhood trauma, she has guided me on a rite of passage quest that both challenged and supported me on my personal intentional journey, and she has been a central outdoor guide for many young-adult clients that I have worked with as a therapist. I am eternally grateful for the time I have been able to spend with her and learn from her.”
