"This is something everyone should do....Leah is a great instructor....just do it!!" - Nicole
"What a ripper weekend and experience. What a challenge. What a release... Terrific group - each bringing their own unique dynamic and flavour - and all of us willing to share and explore together. You lead a supportive, encouraging and insightful retreat. A short journey together. Yet, a remarkable one. ”Ice in the veins” brings a whole new meaning." - Tamlin
"I had an amazing experience. Leah was a brilliant instructor. Her vast knowledge was evident, and she was engaging and inspirational. The guided meditation was so beautiful, and amplified by the music and instruments that Leah incorporated. I saw beautiful colours and shapes during this meditation which has not previously happened to me. The icy dip in the lake that had been worrying me, turned out to be a great experience." - Linda
