We had the good fortune of connecting with Leigh-Anne LoPinto and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Leigh-Anne, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
It wasn’t a thought process at all, it was a calling that was unexpected. I had planned on working in the school system as a psychologist as a life long career, but the universe had other plans.

After going through a rock bottom in 2014-2016 due to a divorce and the ending of a nearly 20 year relationship, I had to completely overhaul my entire life. My personal healing around relationship patterns took about 2-3 years of very targeted and intense work. When I came up and out of that dark period of my life, women started to come to me for support with relationships. I had already started running women’s circles in 2017 and it naturally unfolded from there. I first began seeing private clients on the side while continuing to work in the high schools of LA, and then went full time in 2021.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
What sets me apart from other psychologists and therapists is that I don’t offer talk-only sessions. When I first stared, I did. But when I became a women’s circle facilitator, and then a breathwork facilitator, I knew I had to weave in other modalities because they completely changed my life. My sessions are a combination of therapy, coaching, breathwork, and intuitive guidance. This combination cuts the work in half, if not faster.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Abbott Kinney – Venice
Culver City – downtown
The stretch of beach between the piers at Marina del Rey and Venice
Zuma Beach Malibu
Topanga
Sweat Yoga Playa Vista
