Leigh Higgins
A longtime Hoboken resident, is a healer who combines sound and energy modalities, shamanic practice, and coaching strategies to support clients in finding balance and connection on their healing path. As a sound healer, Leigh uses a variety of instruments, including bowls, gongs, drums, rattles, flute, and voice, to clear energetic blockages, imprint and align healthy energies, and help shift clients into a space where they can learn to heal themselves.
