About Leanne

The Barefoot Medium ...

®

Leanne is an Empath and natural Medium, who was born with her spiritual gifts, meaning she has always been able to sense Spirit, whether it was seeing, hearing, feeling or just knowing that loved one's who had passed over had stepped into her energy and wanted to connect and communicate.

She experienced those in Spirit from a very young age and distinctly remembers Spirit 'people' always being around her, with many nights laying in bed seeing outlines or shadows out of the corner of her eyes, hearing footsteps down the hallway, feeling like there were people standing above her or at the foot of her bed and just knowing information about how they had passed over.  

Having experienced the loss of many loved ones from a very early age and with formal qualifications in Behavioural Sciences and Criminology, Leanne understands that grief and loss is a deeply personally and profoundly spiritual journey that everyone navigates differently.  These experiences have helped her to develop personally and spiritually, reminding her of the importance of provide facts and evidence to her clients that confirms 'beyond reasonable doubt' that she is connecting with their loved one's in the Spirit world.

 

Leanne believes connecting her clients with their passed over loved ones, passing on evidence their soul continues to survive after they left this physical world and bringing through messages of peace, comfort and love from knowing they are still connected is a blessing and honour.

When Leanne was about 12 years old, she bought her first deck of tarot cards, playing around with them, learning about how they worked and understanding how Spirit would guide her to intuitively read the meaning and information from within the cards for herself and her friends. 

 

She still has an affinity with the tarot as a magical tool for divination and while she may not always physically use the cards, Spirit often drops cards or images, symbols and colours from the tarot into her awareness during readings or sessions so she can pass on information, guidance and insights to clients.

As an Empath, Leanne felt and knew she was different from a young ago and has always been sensitive to energy, whether people (living or passed over), their words, emotions and physical ailments, negative or toxic situations, events and environments.  To cope she would often go within and try to understand what she was seeing, hearing, feeling and experiencing, which was all part of Spirit helping her learn to communicate with her guides, understand her intuition and abilities as well as stand in her strength, embrace the uniqueness of who she is and to shine her light out into the world with divine love, true compassion and empathy for others.  

Leanne also has over 20 years' experience working in Senior Management positions and as a Lecturer and Tutor within a University in Brisbane (Australia), where she completed a Master's in Education and had the opportunity to connect with students from all over the world. As a result, she has extensive experience in leadership, management, curriculum design and development, teaching and training, and is passionate about guiding, supporting and holding space for others as they learn and grow, whether personally, professionally or spiritually.  

She has many of my experiences and has taken many journey's so far in life, some challenging and others easy, and has learnt life really is just a continuous journey back to self, back to who you are at a soul level, back to what feels joyful and loving for you so you can embrace the fullness of who we are - the light and the dark, the good and the bad, the ups and the downs, the beautiful and the ugly - your authentic self.  It is ALL part of the journey of discovery and important to remember to focus on what it is in life that is really important.

Leanne has learnt that her sensitivity is a gift that she consciously and intentionally works with on a daily basis as she connects people with their passed over loved ones and provides them with clarity, guidance and insights to support them in creating the life their soul needs, wants and desires.

Why the

Barefoot Medium ...

barefoot 1.jpg

Wondering what the Barefoot thing is all about ... ?  I do all of my work with Spirit barefoot - I came into the world without shoes and I will go out without them, so why not?  Also, like many of the indigenous cultures throughout the world, I believe our feet were designed to press against the Earth, they are our connection to Pachamama.  Our feet allow us to be present in the moment and feel the energy shifts, transformations and what is about to manifest beneath them so we can respond accordingly.  I have taken many adventures in this lifetime (and the ones before), some easy and some more challenging, what I have discovered is that our soul continues when we leave this world and that we are here on this Earth to experience, create and love life!

​As a natural-medium most of my training is done directly with and through Spirit, however, I also gain enormous value and knowledge from attending various personal, professional and spiritual development courses, workshops and conferences.  

 

When I first started consciously development my Mediumship and Psychic abilities, I would regularly attend a meditation and spiritual development circle hosted by my her spiritual teacher and mentor at the time, where I began practicing delivering information and guidance to others using a variety of techniques.  I then stepped into hosting my own meditation, personal and spiritual development circles and have been blessed to help and support many people throughout the years to go within and connect with themselves, let go and heal what was holding them back as well as to connect with their intuition, psychic and mediumship abilities.
