Resilient Roots

 A cycle-breaking course for parents

Resilient Roots was an exceptional course. The material was personalized yet in a group setting. I gained a lot from it."

"I loved the depth of theory on attachment, learning to attune to ourselves so we can attune to our children. I loved how it was such a safe, loving, compassionate and non judgemental container. Ty ty :)"

There are no words to adequately express the tremendous gratitude I have for Leigh and Resilient Roots. This journey has taught me the incredible power each of us holds within ourselves. I came into the workshop trying to figure out how to change everyone around me only to realize the incredible amount of inner work we must undertake. The greatest gift we can give ourselves is honesty and the courage to see where it may take you. Leigh challenged us to question so many premises and ideas that we had ingrained in ourselves and encouraged us to change the narrative in our relationships. I will forever be grateful to Leigh and Resilient Roots.

“This course was enlightening. It taught me to regain power and control over myself and my parenting. I learned to embrace my humanity and no longer feel lost in my roles. I am more confident in my motherhood and have the skills and tools to move forward and create real change. I am so grateful for this course and Leigh for teaching me, and my cohort how to be resilient.”
