What others are saying about their Thresholding experience...

"After experiencing burn-out in my career, I was looking for a way to heal and rethink my future. Through friends, I connected with Leigh Ann at Thresholding who guided me through a process of self-assessment leading to a dramatic change in my approach to my career and life goals. Through this process I've healed a lot of my past burn-out and created a new perspective for my future. Leigh Ann offered beautiful wisdom and guidance as she gave me to the tools to heal and lay the foundation for my future. It's hard to put into words how transformative this process has been, but I am filled with hope and tools to carry me far into the future."

- Veronica G., board certified behavior analyst

"My work with Leigh Ann has been invaluable! This is the only processing sphere where I’ve been able to connect spiritually, relationally, somatically, emotionally, and professionally all in the same session…not siloed like in other professional sectors. Leigh Ann is a wealth of knowledge - my time spent with her continued to unfold over the duration of weeks after our sessions! I could go on and on, but my favorite part is how comfortable and at ease she made me feel. I’m so grateful for her and our time!"

- Shantell J., mental health therapist

"Leigh Ann empowered me to discover my own definition of success. Through being more present in the moment, I learned how to listen to that part of myself that already knows and make decisions that honor my values and align with my unique strengths. What a gift!"

A bird doesn't sing because it has an answer, It sings because it has a song. ~ Maya Angelou.

Before a dream is realized, the Soul of the World tests everything that was learned along the way. It does this not because it is evil, but so that we can, in addition to realizing our dreams, master the lessons we’ve learned as we’ve moved toward that dream. That’s the point at which most people give up. ~ Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist.

Healing may not be so much about getting better, as about letting go of everything that isn’t you- all the expectations, all of the beliefs - and becoming who you are. ~ Rachel Remen.

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good. ~ Vaclav Havel.

I make the road. I draw the map. Nothing just happens to me... I'm the one happening. ~ Denis Johnson.

If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain; If I can ease one life the aching, Or cool one pain, Or help one fainting robin Unto his nest again, I shall not live in vain. ~ Emily Dickinson “If I Can Stop One Heart From Breaking”

(N)o map, no specific directions, no “this way ahead” or “take a left”. how will I know where to go? how will I find my way? no map! but then my midlife soul whispers: ‘there was a time before maps when pilgrims traveled by the stars.’ It is time for the pilgrim in me to travel in the dark, to learn to read the stars that shine in my soul. ~ Old Maps No Longer Work, Joyce Rupp.

The Way It Is There’s a thread you follow. It goes among things that change. But it doesn’t change. People wonder about what you are pursuing. You have to explain about the thread. But it is hard for others to see. While you hold it you can’t get lost. Tragedies happen; people get hurt or die; and you suffer and get old. Nothing you do can stop time’s unfolding. You don’t ever let go of the thread. ~ William Stafford.

In the beginning of the world, there was longing. Only in this state of missing, of absence, can life be drawn into itself. Like the womb which is an empty vessel waiting for the seed of life, longing is the force that pulls potential towards it. Rather than a thing to be tolerated or gotten rid of, longing should be venerated as the elemental gravity that attracts towards us the life and world we want for ourselves. ~ Excerpt from Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home by Toko-pa Turner
