about me...

Life continues to reveal to me the essence of who I am. I am a queer 'she/they' human. I am passionate about offering liberation practices through embodiment and shamanism.

I was named Leita after my paternal grandmother, Olita. Born and raised in South Louisiana with French Canadian roots. I moved to Phoenix, Arizona, in 2002, becoming a mother shortly thereafter. Being a mother has been the most transformative and defining role in my life.
 
In 2020, as I approached 40, I experienced a profound soul calling—one deeply connected to embodiment through dance and shamanic practice. These paths became gateways to personal liberation and deep inner transformation, igniting a clear purpose within me: to hold space for others on their own journeys of re-membering.
 
The mystical seeker in me was drawn to immersive work with The Power Path School of Shamanism in New Mexico, where I completed their one-year Shamanic Studies Program in 2020, followed by a series of practitioner trainings, including advanced work and learning from the Wixarika (Huichol) in Mexico and the Shipibo in Peru.

I am a facilitator of The 360 Emergence embodiment practice, having completed a year-long apprenticeship in 2025. This work has become a powerful part of my journey, allowing me to guide others into deeper embodiment, relationship with themselves and CHANGE—through movement, presence, and connection to the wisdom of their body.
 
I walk the pathless path with open-hearted curiosity as my compass.

In Leita's words... 

In The 360 Emergence embodiment practice we depend on the powerful allies of the body and the breath through movement.

We tune our attention to our physical sensations as we dance.

We remember our wholeness as we become intimate with right now.

We expand our awareness as we strengthen our relationship with time and space from within the body.

This practice is a gateway to enlivening our connection- to our body, to our heart, to the present moment, to our local and global community, to the natural world, to Spirit, to our essence, to our Soul.  And It’s all inter-connected—

The dance awakens the presence of connection within ourselves and the oneness with all things.
