Leigh-Ann Larson, M.Ed., LMHC - Spirit Medium, Grief Educator, Reiki Master/Teacher

My Mission Is To Help You Experience A Deeper Connection To Self; to risk after grief, loss and trauma; to experience Personal Growth and Development; in the name of Self Love.

The Center 4 Self Love programming: readings, individual and group coaching and retreats, are designed to give you the tools to form deeper, more authentic relationships first within yourself, facilitating healthier connections with others and leading to increased wellness and joy in life. As you step into your worthiness and move past the trauma or grief in life: either through the death of loved ones, cultural or societal norms, or emotional, mental, physical or sexual abuse in childhood and beyond, growing your own connection with spirit and your inner being will allow you to grow in wellbeing and confidence for the journey.

These programs are evolving and are  designed to be online for convenience, ease of scheduling and the ability to bring cohorts together from near and far.  However, in person options will be available for various events as well. The entire mentoring plan is tailored to your individual needs. Coaching groups are designed to be self-paced for you to work on your goals in between sessions. Readings and all work done with Leigh-Ann can help you:

  • Tap into your personal strengths

  • Increase Wellbeing and Intuition

  • Rely upon your wisdom and psychic abilities

  • Speak kindness and grace into your life to live your best life

  • Grow and utilize effective networks and supportive relationships to help you thrive in any area of life 

  • Utilize principles of Energy Psychology and Mindfulness to grow in wellbeing through: physical integration with your mind and energy body, energetic balance through chakra work, increased emotional regulation, mental clarity and spiritual connectedness and growth..

My Approach To growing wellbeing and personal development is founded in “Self Love first” and Incorporates our “Five bodies”: physical, energetic, emotional, mental and spiritual (PEEMS)

I take a holistic, integrative approach to my readings as well as mentoring and coaching for women. I work with the five different types of “bodies” that each of us has. And just as the physical body needs sleep, nutrition, movement and hydration, all of our other bodies need attention and support as well.

The other four bodies are: the energetic body, the emotional body, the mental body, and the spiritual body. 

  • The energetic body refers to our electromagnetic impulses and is connected by different energy sources, pictured for explanation purposes as chakras. Acupuncture, acupressure, reflexology, Emotional Freedom Technique (tapping) and massage therapy work with the energetic body. 

  • The emotional body is the part that stores our feelings and expresses itself in our relationships. 

  • The mental body is the storehouse of our thoughts and beliefs and is expressed through behavior. 

  • The spiritual body is expressed through imagination, faith, spiritual practice, and “flow states” of creative expression.

By focusing on all Five Pillars of the human identify, I have found a framework for readings, coaching meditation practice and retreating that delivers a structured and invaluable service to you. Readings, coaching and retreats steeped in this model fosters self-understanding, fulfilling relationships, and a life lived according to your innermost needs and desires. Being grounded in Self Love with a broader understanding of who you are brings clarity to your life’s purpose, passions and intuitive pursuits.

How My Life Experience Evolved Into the Center 4 Self Love

As important as my mediumship, mentoring and coaching philosophy is, it’s ultimately my own life experience that inspired this passion project and the joy I have found in empowering women to step out of their grief and loss, and step into their truth of worthiness and beauty.  My story is one of resilience, perseverance, hope, and thriving in the face of adversity. I am grateful for the challenges that have shaped me and brought me here, with you, today. My adoptive parents, both deceased, have been instrumental in helping me bring Mediumship to you as well as the importance of increasing self love and wellbeing that comes from after death communication. My work with my parents has brought clarity, forgiveness, grace, mercy and a new level of worthiness that was previously absent in my life. I also channel messages, through beings on the other side of life that I refer to as “The Wise Counsel”. I first noticed them while leading guided meditations and checking in with them is now part of my daily routine.

Like many of you, I had early traumatic life experiences, much of which shaped my grief and loss. For me, that led to alcoholism, a battle with weight and body acceptance and an autoimmune illness that went untreated for decades.  I am now recovered from alcoholism (since 1999), and I am thriving instead of flaring with my autoimmune illness. I practice body neutrality: enjoying movement, life giving foods and life with out being hung up on the societal “norms or shoulds” that used to plague me. I am a warrior. Overcoming the trauma that shaped me was the most painful experience I have had. But those years birthed recovery, spiritual seeking and finding the most fabulous relationship: with myself. Through Source and divine guidance with the spirit realm, they ultimately led me to my true self. Some call this relationship an engagement with the Holy Spirit, Source or Creator God. Rather than worrying about what to “call it”,  I like to think of this as our internal GPS system that “gives you, back to you.”

While I was on this journey I became a Reiki Master/Teacher, fell into Mediumship (it just happened and then I decided to get trained). I worked as a medium while I was in college and later in Grad school to become a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. After I was licensed, I stepped away from that work and focused on my clinical work for 15 years. During that time I built a thriving Private Group Practice, became certified in Trauma Studies, an Energy Psychology Practitioner and Grief Educator. I discovered the clinical research on after death communication and Induced After Death Communication as a modality in therapy and felt compelled to merge the two paths together and bring mediumship and channeling into the services that I provide as the research supports the therapeutic nature of this work

Where has this journey taken me personally? My greatest accomplishment and joy is my marriage to my high school sweetheart in 1989 (together since 1983). Through the perseverance and steadfast personal development work I have undertaken, I was able to love myself enough to receive the unconditional love and kindness from this modern day Prince Charming. Today my husband and I enjoy a wonderful and fulfilling marriage filled with beautiful friendships, endless laughter and three successful, evolving and heart centered adult children that are the “coolest” people I know. They too have gone on to find delightful spouses and partners and the love just keeps coming!

It is my joy to share my secrets to living well after grief, loss and trauma, by empowering and helping you deepen your sense of belonging to yourself and to others. Through readings, coaching and retreats, I hope you will find a courageous expression of the life that you are and that flows through you to bless others. My goal is to help you move from grief into love: self love, love for others and love for life, once again.

What I Enjoy Outside Of My Work

I am passionate about my marriage, my family, my friends, my writing, my spiritual practice and all 75-degree days. I am also a big-time nature lover—when I’m not working, you can often find me kayaking, taking scenic walks, open-water boating, and spending lots of time outdoors relaxing. Nature is my happy place. I live freely into the law of attraction and I am fully steeped in the mission of feeling good and residing in “Unicorn Junction” where the magic happens.  

I belong to several chambers of commerce and I am a member of the Massachusetts Association of Mental Health Counseling and the Association of Comprehensive Energy Psychology. Faith and spirituality are deeply important to me and I am aligned with an open affirming Congregational church in Southeastern Mass. I’m also a graduate of Mindful Leaders, an organization that fosters daily meditation practices.
