I’ve spent much of my career helping people make meaningful change — through leadership, university teaching, coaching and now yoga-powered vitality work.
What has fascinated me throughout is not change as an abstract idea. It’s what helps smart, accomplished people see what matters, make a strong decision and keep moving when doubt, pressure or old patterns show up.
I first developed a seven-step transformation process while teaching university students and coaching professionals through major life and career changes. Years later, yoga added the missing dimension: the body.
That became The Ecstatic Motion Method™, a framework that brings movement, breath, attention and strategy into the process of creating change itself.
Today, through The Blissful Badass™, I help people build the energy, clarity and spark to lead well, live fully and keep creating a life they’re excited to be living.
about leah
Director of Guest Experience & Retreat Hospitality
Leah has spent her entire career creating unforgettable experiences for guests — the kind that feel effortless, warm and genuinely cared for.
After years in high-volume, fine dining, including her standout role as a top-performing server and Server Trainer at Old Ebbitt Grill in Washington, DC, and at Sant Ambroeus Brookfield in Manhattan, she brings a rare blend of grace, precision and heart to The Blissful Badass Retreats.
She has led teams, trained staff, mastered the art of anticipating needs and built lasting relationships with countless returning guests. Her talent lies not just in service, but in elevating it — turning even simple moments into something special.
Leah is now bringing that mastery full-time into the world of yoga-powered transformation.
At each retreat, she will be curating an experience that feels seamless and deeply personal. Guests will be greeted with warmth, cared for with intention and supported in ways that make the entire journey feel easy, nourishing and memorable.
Her philosophy is simple: when people feel truly welcomed and looked after, transformation unfolds more naturally.
Leah ensures every detail — from the flow of the day to the comfort of the space to the feeling guests carry home — reflects the signature Blissful Badass blend of joy, presence and thoughtful care.
about the blissful badass
Trie came up with the name The Blissful Badass™ years ago because it described the combination she wanted in her own life: grounded and adventurous, strong and open, thoughtful and a little mischievous.
Today it has become a company built around a simple belief:
Vitality gives you options.
The energy to go.
The clarity to choose.
The confidence to act.
The spark to make life the adventure.
Through yoga, mindfulness, coaching and The Ecstatic Motion Method™, we help people put that vitality to work in the lives and leadership they are creating.

a personal note from trie
I believe we should expect our lives to keep surprising us.
There are always new things to learn, places to go, people to know, ideas to pursue and versions of ourselves we haven’t met yet.
Vitality is what gives us the capacity to say yes to them.
I live on the Hudson River across from Manhattan and spend as much time as I can at the Jersey Shore. Both remind me, in very different ways, that life moves fast — and there is an astonishing amount still to do with it.
