Uncover the strength in your shadows

There’s more to life than fitting into the world we’ve been handed. One of the great opportunities and challenges of our lives is undoing conditioning and set patterns that no longer serve us. However far we’ve come on the journey, we all still hit challenging spots. 

At the Light Dark Institute, we believe each of us is here to express our unique essence. The parts of ourselves labeled as “dark” often hold our greatest gifts, hidden behind shame and aversion. True freedom comes when we embrace all of who we are—not just the parts that are easy to show.

Do you really want to keep living into other people’s expectations in order to save the little bit of identity that once made you happy?

We know how terrifying it can be to face the parts of yourself you've been avoiding. We’ve been there. We understand the shame and fear of stepping outside the norm. But we also know the immense freedom and aliveness waiting on the other side.

Life is a playground for the soul. Let’s explore it together

Once you're ready to face and embrace your darkness, having a guide makes the journey smoother, deeper—and more fun. Together, we'll explore your shadows and unlock your full potential.

Here's what you'll experience in coaching with Leslie:

Deep Self-Acceptance
He’ll help you love and accept every part of yourself—especially the parts you’ve rejected or hidden. He has a gift for feeling true admiration, even turn on, for the parts you judge as shameful, disgusting, or vile. He’ll offer you the mirror you need to see these parts with new eyes and welcome them home.

Insightful Play
One of our core philosophies is “make a play”—turn every situation into an opportunity for pleasure and connection. He’ll guide you in seeing unexpected perspectives on your toughest challenges and help you approach life from new, playful angles. Soon you’ll be walking through open doors where you once saw only walls.

Ongoing Integration
It’s not just about breakthroughs during sessions. He’ll support you in bringing your revelations into daily life, transforming how you show up in relationships, work, and self-expression. Over time, the inner creatures that once scared you will live so fully in the light, you won’t even notice you're letting a new version of yourself shine.
