Welcome to a Space of Deep Healing and Lasting Transformation

Holistic Healing for

Mind and Body

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"Working with Rachel Leah has been truly life-changing. I came in feeling overwhelmed and disconnected from myself, and she helped me understand how my mind and body were holding onto stress in ways I didn't even realize. Her gentle, integrated approach made me feel safe and seen every step of the way. I’ve gained practical tools to manage my emotions and, more importantly, a sense of trust in my own healing process. I feel stronger, more grounded, and more myself than I have in years."

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"After just a few sessions with Rachel Leah, I felt tension release that I’d been carrying for years. Her work is gentle but incredibly effective — I finally feel free in my own body again."

WHAT CLIENTS SAY

"I was skeptical at first, but this type of approach helped me connect the dots between my physical pain and emotional stress. I came in for tightness and left with a whole new understanding of the source of the pain."

Unleash What’s Been Waiting Inside You

Unleash What’s Been Waiting Inside You.


Therapy and transformational healing for those ready to feel, reclaim, and live with clarity.

This is a space for people who sense there's more: more aliveness, more truth, more power, more peace. I help you uncover what’s been buried beneath: coping, shame, perfectionism, or survival,  and guide you into a deeper relationship with yourself, your story, and your future.

Using depth therapy, somatic practices, and integrative trauma healing, I support clients in moving beyond old patterns into something more grounded, real, and free.

What My Clients Experience

They leave with a quieter mind, a softer body, and a sense of safety they didn’t know was possible.
Not because the world changed, but because their inner wiring did.

They speak more clearly.
They cry more freely.
They trust themselves in a way that feels both new and ancient.

Some find that long-standing anxiety lifts.
Others release guilt, shame, or the grip of people-pleasing.
Many say, “I finally feel like I belong in my own life.”

This is healing that ripples into everything.


How We Get There

Healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. I work with each person as a whole being:
a mind that seeks truth, a heart that longs to be held, and a body that carries the map.

I’m a licensed Occupational Therapist and trauma-informed practitioner with advanced training in:

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)

  • Myofascial Release and Somatic Therapy

  • Holotropic breathwork, grounding, and rhythm-based practices

  • Transformational group facilitation


I also offer select workshops based on The Possible You Seminar, a powerful identity-healing framework developed by Rabbi Yom Tov Glaser. This process supports deep belief clearing and soul alignment, and I integrate it gently into group settings where appropriate.

More than half of my clients work with me by phone-based coaching, finding that the absence of visual distraction often deepens their insight and emotional clarity. Whether by phone or in person, my presence is intuitive, attuned, and steady.

In Our Work Together, You May Encounter

  • Grounding tools to regulate your nervous system

  • Dialogue that reveals internal patterns with compassion

  • Inner child healing

  • Authentic movement, drumming, or expressive art

  • Myofascial Release to unlock stored trauma and reconnect to the body

  • Breathwork to soften, release, and awaken

  • Identity and belief clearing rooted in spiritual truth


Everything we do is tailored to you.

This isn’t talk therapy alone.
This is soulwork—whether you're ready to go deep or just ready to
begin.

1:1 In-Person Sessions

(Clifton, NJ)

In my in-person 1:1 sessions, I offer a safe, supportive space to slow down and connect more deeply with yourself. As a licensed Occupational Therapist, I integrate somatic approaches, hands-on techniques, and reflective dialogue inspired by psychodynamic understanding and Internal Family Systems principles. This work is deeply transformative, helping you release stored tension, develop insight, and build nervous system resilience. Together, we explore patterns, enhance self-understanding, and cultivate skills that support healthier relationships, greater emotional regulation, and overall wellbeing. Many clients share that this process brings meaningful change and lasting results.

Restoring Wholeness Body, Heart, and Soul


Healing is not just about easing symptoms.

It’s about reclaiming integration across your body, emotions, and soul.
In my work, I invite clients into the deeper layers of healing, where emotional pain, attachment wounds, and spiritual longing often intersect. This is where true transformation begins.

Drawing from trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS), breathwork, myofascial release (MFR), somatic healing, and the wisdom of Torah, I guide a gentle yet powerful process of release and reconnection. This integrative work honors both the body's intelligence and the soul's sacredness, allowing what has been held, blocked, or silenced to come into the light and realign.

Many of the clients I serve have not only lived through loss, but have also experienced deep ruptures in relationships that were meant to offer safety, including therapeutic spaces that could not hold their depth. I am deeply sensitive to these complex wounds, and create a space where safety, dignity, and attuned presence are not luxuries—they are foundational.
In this space:
 

  • Your story is honored.

  • Your body’s wisdom is respected.

  • Your healing is sacred.
     

Together, we restore trust in yourself, in others, and in the sacred unfolding of your healing path.
