Testimonials

"Leah was wonderful to work with. They were willing to tailor the training to our audience of 200 community professionals, counselors, social workers, teachers, and tribal leaders who attended the event. The feedback was that the information was extremely relevant to their practice and that Leah made them so much more aware of the impacts of trauma. The only criticism of the training was that we should have had them here longer! I am so pleased to have been able to work with Leah, and I highly recommend their presentation for human service professionals."

"Leah shares a message that many miss when reviewing how to move forward in our treatment of mental health care, and that is the social justice aspect. They incorporate the importance of storytelling, and provide tangible ways for individuals to make change. Leah approaches the topic of mental health through trauma and its deleterious effects. This approach is relatable to many because trauma is something we have all experienced."

--Liz T., student organizer, Gustavus Agustus University

"Leah combines breadth and depth of knowledge on trauma with powerful storytelling."

University of Iowa Instructor, Trauma Across the Lifespan

I know my students gained a lot from hearing you speak. In fact, I’ve already had a couple of students tell me how much your words meant to them. As a writing instructor, what I liked most was your ability to embody the power of storytelling and epitomize exactly how telling one’s own narrative can impact both the writer and the audience. In the days that followed many of my students came to class with more comments and questions about the things you discussed. I’m sure I speak for all faculty and students alike when I say that we hope you will come back for another visit soon. You are doing such important work.
