Meet Leigh
Hi, I’m Leigh — founder of Agà pē Studios.
I’m a Lightworker, energy healer, intuitive guide, and sacred artist, here to support you on your path of clarity, healing, and transformation.
My journey has been one of deep remembrance — through spiritual awakening, personal healing, and a return to inner truth. I now hold space for others to do the same, offering tarot card readings, energy mentorship, and soul-centered coaching that’s grounded, compassionate, and heart-led.
In addition to my intuitive work, I create hand-cut sacred geometry artwork using intricate wooden designs inspired by ancient symbolism, divine patterns, and the energetic language of the soul. Each piece is made with intention and reverence, serving as a visual meditation and spiritual anchor.
Whether you're seeking insight, direction, or a sacred object to support your space, I’m here to walk alongside you with presence and purpose.
