Welcome to our story
Hello!
We are Holistic Steps
The Heart Behind Holistic Steps
At Holistic Steps, we believe that real change is possible — and it starts with understanding ourselves. Founded by Josh and Leanne, our work is rooted in compassion, lived experience, and a deep belief in the power of emotional regulation, self-awareness, and connection.
Meet Josh
Josh has spent his career helping people make meaningful, lasting changes. Whether supporting personal growth, parenting strategies, or harm reduction, his approach is simple, practical, and deeply personal. He believes that knowledge is power — and when we understand more, we do more. When we know better, we live better.
Meet Leanne
Leanne studied psychology at the University of Wales, Swansea, driven by a lifelong curiosity about the human mind. She has spent her career applying this knowledge to real life, supporting families and professionals to make positive changes in their lives. She brings a gift for group facilitation and emotional attunement, ensuring that every voice is heard and every person feels seen. Her quiet and powerful belief is that kindness grows from understanding the self and that everyone holds the ability to be kind.
At times, we’ve walked through seasons where emotional regulation and self-compassion felt out of reach. That’s why we’re so passionate about helping others find them. Our sessions blend depth with humour, vulnerability with safety, and always, open hearts. We offer trauma-informed support, nervous system education, and practical wellbeing strategies that empower people to live more consciously and intentionally.
A Personal Journey That Changed Everything
In 2023, we became parents through adoption — a moment that reshaped our lives and deepened our purpose. Our daughter came to us with a story marked by adversity, yet she meets the world with openness, joy, and love. Her courage and trust have taught us more than we ever imagined.
She reminds us daily that healing is possible, that retuning a heightened system can be hard and that softness, curiosity, and connection are strengths. Her journey has sharpened our commitment to helping others find their own path to peace. Because if she can rise with love, then so can you.
Why we do this
We live in a world where burnout is normalised, anxiety and depression are widespread, and many feel stuck in lives they didn’t choose. At Holistic Steps, we aim to disrupt that narrative. We cultivate motivation, share transformative knowledge, and walk beside you as you become who you consciously want to be.
Because we believe in change.
And we believe in you.
How we do this
We believe real change begins with understanding.
We don’t tend to care for things we don’t understand — and that includes ourselves. We know that when people begin to understand their nervous system, emotions, and basic human needs, self‑compassion naturally grows. That understanding becomes power: the power to stop fighting who you are and start stepping in to your authentic self. Through our work, we share knowledge and stories that help people identify and untangle patterns shaped by the past that are no longer serving them in the present. Our support isn’t prescriptive or action‑led. We offer knowledge, space, and perspective — trusting that when people really hear and feel the ‘human condition’ they get on their own side. And once that happens, they rarely look back.
