In 2017, Leah was diagnosed with stage four breast cancer and
told she was going to die within the next two years.
Nearly four years later and instead, she’s thriving. Using her
experience as a dietitian, exercise physiologist, and wellbeing
expert, Leah crafted a strategy of resilience to help her reach
total remission. Her formula for success using nutrition,
exercise, mindset, kindness, authenticity, and love has helped
her to beat the odds despite initially being given a one to four
percent chance of survival.
Leah has been working with companies and individuals on
nutrition and wellness for over fifteen years. She’s worked
with multiple global organizations on their employee health
and wellness strategy including Marriott International,
McCormick & Co., Hilton Worldwide, Johns Hopkins, and
ExxonMobil.
She’s also the co-founder of The Willow Foundation, which
provides funding to researchers that strive to find a
connection between diet, exercise, and mindset and improved
outcomes for late-stage cancer patients.
Leah holds an MBA from the McDonough School of Business at
Georgetown University, a Master’s Degree in Sports Nutrition
and Exercise Science, and a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise
Science. She’s a registered dietitian and ACSM certified
exercise physiologist. She’s a former division-one athlete and
medical officer in the United States Army Reserves.
