Certified Thai Yoga Massage Therapist
Intuitive Wellness Practitioner
Founder of Earth & Essence Wellness
I’m a Trauma-Informed Yoga Teacher, Registered Holistic Nutritionist™ and Integrative Wellness Guide offering a blend of Yoga, Nutrition, Sound, Reiki, and Thai massage to support your return to rest and balance.
Rooted on Vancouver Island, I create coastal ritual experiences and personalized sessions that invite deep restoration and reconnection with Self. My work is grounded in the belief that healing begins when we feel safe enough to slow down, soften, and listen inward.
From personalized private sessions to embodied group offerings, I hold space for you to move gently, rest deeply, and return to your natural rhythm.
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.

Healing practices for body, mind, and spirit
Wellness is not a destination. It’s a rhythm, a remembering, a return. At the heart of our offerings are simple yet profound rituals that help you slow down, breathe deeply, and come home to yourself. From daily movement and seasonal ceremonies to deep rest practices like Yoga Nidra, everything is designed to support nervous system regulation and inner alignment. You’ll find sanctuary in practices that are both soulful and accessible, woven into the rhythm of your life.
Supporting your inner healing through presence, practice, and connection
Healing unfolds when we feel safe to listen. Whether it’s through a sound bath, Reiki session, intuitive massage, or Leigh’s sacred tarot readings, we hold space for you to explore your inner landscape. You’re invited to come just as you are, to soften, reflect, and awaken your inner wisdom. Our work is deeply personal, rooted in curiosity and compassion, and always centered around what feels most nourishing for you.
Inspired by the elements, held by the sea, and attuned to the seasons
Our offerings are shaped by the natural world around us. Set against the backdrop of the Salish Sea and coastal forest, we honour the power of earth, water, fire, and air in every session. From outdoor sauna rituals and seasonal group ceremonies to oceanfront yoga and guided meditation, you’ll be supported by the elements as you move through your healing journey.
