Leba brings an expansive and adventurous spirit to her practice—honed in her roles as a filmmaker, educator, activist, mother, and Radical Aliveness practitioner. She works with individuals and groups through a body-centered lens that’s creative, culturally attuned, and deeply personal. Her sessions are shaped by curiosity, metaphor, and instinct—an exploration of the past not as a fixed story, but as a landscape to re-enter, reshape, and reimagine.
Â
Leba is for the client drawn to complexity, creativity, and deep self-trust. Someone who may be navigating early wounds or inherited patterns and is ready to move forward with clarity and connection is a good fit for Leba. She believes that clients are their own healers, and her role is to help them reconnect with their inner wisdom and instincts. For Leba, this work is both sacred and ordinary, personal and collective, wild and foundational.
Â
Leba is based in New York and works with individuals remotely.

Mike's presence is rooted and real—meeting clients with clarity, energy, and care. His background in acting and movement lends a physical immediacy to his sessions—he’s engaged, intuitive, and unafraid to meet what’s real. Trained in Core Energetics both in New York and the Netherlands, Mike integrates somatic depth with influences from mindfulness, meditation, fitness, and shamanic practice. The result is a style that’s both spiritual and practical—meeting the body, mind, and heart as one.
Â
Mike is for the client who wants to feel deeply supported while stepping into their own clarity and vitality. Someone who may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected—and is ready to get curious, move, and reconnect. He sees the body as a roadmap: it holds the memory of where you’ve been and the wisdom to carry you forward. The transformative power of this work is something Mike knows intimately—not only through his clients, but through the changes he’s lived himself, again and again.
Â
Mike works with individuals, couples, and groups in New York City, offering sessions both in-person and online.

Craig brings a spirit of deep inquiry and collaboration to his practice, where sessions become laboratories for discovery and clients are invited to step into what feels stuck, strange, or unseen. Trained in Core Energetics, Craig also weaves in cognitive modalities and critical thinking as tools for transformation. His approach values risk-taking as a pathway to clarity—gently challenging old stories and opening space for something more honest to emerge.
Craig is for the client who’s ready to get curious and embrace what’s real. Someone seeking not just relief, but reconnection to their truest self. His work invites clients to feel more deeply, speak more honestly, and step into the unknown with courage, humor, and care.

Healing happens in relationship. The connection between us becomes a container for transformation—loving, honest, and grounded. The goal is to support you in reconnecting with your essential self. To help you live from that place: fully authentic, fully embodied. This is the heroic work of being human. Learning how our patterns and defenses have obscured who we truly are, and courageously addressing those false stories on every level of our being. The process is intellectual. It’s emotional. It’s physical, energetic, and often spiritual. Whatever arises, we meet together.
