“I started working with Leighanne Gerstbrein about 2 months ago. At the time I was completely exhausted from life. My parents were both not doing well, I was out of consistent work and working on my relationship with myself and my fiancee. The issue killing me as of late was food. Overeating junk and bingeing had become a daily ritual.

Leighanne provided a coaching to me that I had not experienced yet, and believe me when I tell you, I have been obsessed with self-help, counseling and being coached the last 6 years. Truth be told, all that stuff was exhausting me too. Leighanne was the first person to come along and listen to me about my life like I knew myself better than she could. She listened to me a LOT and asked me thoughtful questions that I didn’t feel were typical, generic questions, but instead like she was really listening to me. It was like I was telling her who I was, not the opposite. She would then take my truth and help me from there with small, reasonable goals for each week. She was motivating and understanding, but also provides great direction and insight into setting micro goals, being consistent, and changing over time.  Her style made me want to come back to the sessions each week and held me accountable. I’ve had military drill sergeants for sponsors, mentors and coaches before and it has never really worked for me. Her style does and I am incredibly grateful for her and the style of work she does. I still have my stressors, but the tools given to me by Leighanne have helped me deal with those things in a far better manner. I know for certain she cares about who she’s working with and in this life, that’s as good as it gets if you ask me. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to change for the better.”

"I have been working with Leighanne over the last six months and as a result have gained (1) strategies to help me better manage my stress and (2) a better understanding of my own thoughts and behavior to help me close the gap between my own knowledge and action. I now prioritize my own mental and physical wellbeing, spend more time with my kids, and feel more present than I have in years. I can't recommend her services enough."

-President of MTM Consulting, Scott Lloyd

“Leighanne has brought such a positive impact to my health and wellness journey. She has provided so much guidance, support, and expertise for me, and helped me make meaningful changes physically and mentally.  I have learned how to be consistent, disciplined, and easily adaptable to change. Her continuous encouragement and personalized training approach have played such an intricate part to my wellness journey. I highly recommend LGB-Well services to anyone looking to enhance mentally, physically, and emotionally!”

-Former client, Briana Jones

"Leighanne provides a holistic approach to not only behavior change, but understanding the processes involved in developing from where we are to where we hope to be. Her ability to connect with a group and invite open, honest discussion allows for a deeper understanding of the human experience and empowers participants to take the driver seats in his/her lives. While she comes well prepared with established program offerings, Leighanne has also been open and receptive to collaboration in finding what program design works best for our Service Members! Rather than operating from a 'one size fits all' mentality, she has been eager to discuss the best format to present her Shaping Your Habits to Suit You workshop, and her adaptability has allowed time for not only learning, but real-life application and feedback. She has proven during each session her ability to create a safe space for discovery and interaction between participants. The feedback from participating Service Members demonstrates a sense of comfort and security for challenge themselves to build new habit systems with the knowledge and tools learned with Leighanne. Through this workshop, they have been taught the steps needed to create change and properly supported to begin taking those steps to helpful habits. We look forward to future collaborations with Leighanne and her continued support for our Service Members!"

“The Telluride CTC hired LGB-Well to provide a healthy habits and wellness workshop for its coalition members. The impacts of the pandemic on coalition members and the community as a whole (both adults and youth) have included the following: burnout, increased mental health concerns, social anxieties, and even increase use of substances. In order to create successful behavior change in the community, the coalition needed to learn more about their habits and the science of habit forming and changing. Leighanne provided both an educational and an interactive and relevant workshop for our community. The CTC coalition members left feeling inspired and gained an understanding of how to form healthy habits to help address burnout and mental health concerns.”

“During our approximately one year together I have been incredibly impressed with how attentive, organized, proactive and fully engaged she has been every step of the way. Thanks to her I can walk the way I used to, I am healthier and stronger. My physician, who felt my best path was through physical therapy, has been amazed at my return to health because of her.

But there is more to Leighanne.

During that year I have also been very impressed as she has looked to grow in all areas through additional certifications, ongoing conversations centered on our shared interest in TED talks as well as other similar education opportunities. She is an excellent listener and asks insightful and direct questions whether it be about the task at hand or areas of interest such as leadership or running an organization.”

“We were so grateful to Leighanne for coming to our school to present to students and staff.  Her presentation, Shaping Your Habits to Suit You, was fabulous.  Leighanne was professional and relatable and students really enjoyed her presentation style.  The presentation was interactive and engaging and all of the information was well thought out and backed by research.  Students were able to use the workbook to immediately apply what they were learning to making meaningful changes in their own lives. As a result of Leighanne's presentation, a number of our students and staff were inspired to replace undesirable habits into intentional, positive, and actionable habits that suit their values and vision of their best self. “

“I have had the pleasure of working with Leighanne over the last three months and she was nothing but amazing! As a Health Coach she was always very insightful and has a unique way of asking the right questions that make you say "Hmmm I never thought of that way". She provided me with all the right tools and skills I need to succeed in my journey. I am very thankful to Leighanne and would absolutely recommend her 100% to anyone searching for a skilled and thought-provoking Health Coach!”

“San Miguel County hired Leighanne/LGB Well to present a revamp your habits, revamp your life workshop during our employee training. We really enjoyed the workshop! Employees learned effective change strategies to apply in all areas of life and how to make healthy habit changes. I highly recommend Leighanne/LBG Well and will certainly hire her again for future training.”

-Human Resources Director for San Miguel County, Christina Lambert

“The greatest part of the experience was really feeling like I had a partner. That there was someone there that really genuinely cared about my success, that held me accountable in the gentlest but sternest way. And the relationship developed in a way that I didn’t want to let Leighanne down. And I think that’s one of the marks of a great coach, is being able to develop that type of relationship with someone. It really was a relationship that I valued.

"I have known Leighanne for years and had the opportunity to work side by side with her. She has an incredible depth of knowledge in nutrition, exercise, weight loss and behavior modification. What makes her unique is her genuine concern and empathy for her clients and the gentleness of her direction. This creates a safe and nurturing environment to improve while making inevitable mistakes along the way without feeling defeated. If you are looking for an incredible listener that has deep knowledge in all related fields to health, then I give my highest recommendation to Leighanne Gerstbrein with LGBWell!"
