Dr. of Social Work,
Certified Brainspotting Practitioner &
Certified Life Coach
Blending neuroscience + spirituality & intuition for soul purpose, expansion & joy.
Welcome! I’m Lenore. I’m a Dr. of Social Work, a certified Brainspotting practitioner, and an expert in brain/body/spirit health, post-traumatic growth, and evidence-based practice. I’m also a trained evidential medium, a Reiki healer, and a meditation and yoga teacher. My work is all about uniting Science with Spirit to help people step fully into their their higher purpose — even if that purpose isn't totally clear yet. My clients know there’s a bigger reason why they’re here. They're spiritual, soulful people who have a story to tell and an impact to make. They’re ready to step into their light and share their gifts with the world. They just need help clearing the blockages to get there. I know this clientele inside and out. Because I’ve been there myself. Previously, I worked with international humanitarian organizations, including the United Nations. In 2020, my life changed completely when my late husband suddenly passed away. Immediately after he passed, my intuitive abilities awoke. I knew I couldn’t be the only one experiencing such a phenomenon, so I conducted research on sudden mediumship awakenings. I also pursued formal training in mediumship and other healing modalities, to better understand and tap into my newfound gifts. My intuitive connection led me down a path of myriad somatic, spiritual, mind/body, and energy-based healing. On that path, I discovered Brainspotting, a fast-acting, deeply effective brain/body modality, and a derivative of EMDR. It completely changed my life — and was the science-meets-spirit modality I knew I needed. It impacted me so profoundly, I became certified in the modality. I have since developed my own flavor of Brainspotting, using an Expansion perspective that blends spirituality and intuition, and focuses on enhancing the bright, powerful resources in one's life, including their spirituality and intuition. Rather than focusing on trauma treatment, my work with clients focuses on planting the seeds of light, expansion, and growth, and allowing them to get really big! Together, we work with powerful resources like your own soul, your spirit team, your greatest hopes and dreams, your creativity, and your intuitive gifts, to help you break free of limiting beliefs and step fully and joyfully into what your soul came here to be and do. Through my journey, I found my soul purpose: to blend science and spirit, to help people uncover THEIR higher purpose. If you're a bright soul and know you're here for more, you're just not sure how to get there, I can't wait to work with you! Join me for group workshops and one-on-one sessions, and let your full potential and alignment to soul unfold.
"Science and spirituality are not at odds. They actually work beautifully together, balancing and informing one another, if we only get curious and have an open mind."
