Hi, I’m Leka. I am a Wellness & Strength Coach, Athlete, and Author.  

I am the mom of two amazing daughters and one pit bull.

 

I have been a lifelong student of design, health, and movement, growing up in Northern California, surfing, practicing yoga, and riding horses. After completing a BA in Fine Art, for over two decades, I worked around the world as a professional wardrobe stylist, a creative pursuit that gave me the tools to help others visualize their dreams and aspirations.

In 2008, at age 40, I was introduced to CrossFit—and immediately fell in love with the community and the variety and intensity of the workouts. Within five years, I started competing, making it to the CrossFit Games four times. I went from not being able to jump rope or do a single pull up to finishing 7th, 11th, and 8th, and 5th in the world in my division. When I began thinking of myself as an athlete and fueling myself for performance, I started to feel more confident in every area of my life. At 56, I qualified for my 5th CrossFit Games and wound up #1 in the world in my age division!

Now, my passion is sharing my experience and knowledge with others, helping clients make sustainable transformations through healthy eating, movement, and mindfulness. I want to help women feel confident, strong and empowered through all the different stages of life.
