About Tracy Leigh

Wife, Mom, Survivor, and Your Personal Hope Alchemist

Hi. I’m Coach Tracy—wife, mom, survivor, and your personal Hope Alchemist, helping you turn your pain into purpose. As a Certified Master Life Coach and trauma-informed guide based in Rochester, NY, I’m not just teaching tools—I’ve lived through childhood abuse, toxic and messy relationships, and spiritual abuse. I’ve walked this path myself, so you receive strategies that are proven to work.

For over 20 years, I’ve empowered adults and teens to:

  • Heal from childhood trauma, spiritual wounding, and religious abuse

  • Break free from toxic or messy relationships, codependency, and divorce recovery

  • Conquer anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem

  • Navigate grief, caregiver burnout, and major life transitions (including career transitions)

  • Overcome perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and addiction triggers

  • Manage parenting stress, relationship conflict, workplace burnout, and teen challenges

  • Strengthen confidence, self-worth, and emotional regulation

You don’t need “fixing”—you need freedom. Together, we’ll transform pain into purpose and equip you with the tools to navigate life’s toughest moments, whether in-person or virtual.

My “Why”: How The Courage Gym Was Born

I founded The Courage Gym as a fitness center for your mind, heart, and spirit. I’ve been fortunate enough to work with an exceptional therapist whose guidance transformed my healing journey, but I noticed many friends, family, and clients leave talk therapy without the practical emotional, mental, and spiritual tools they need to thrive. Healing from trauma—and overcoming anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, grief, burnout, relationship conflict, addiction triggers, imposter syndrome, and parenting stress—requires daily training, grit, spiritual practices, and proven strategies. The Courage Gym is that space: a hope-centered, trauma-informed “workout” zone where you build emotional resilience, spiritual strength, and mental flexibility.

My Credentials and Impact

I’m a certified master life coach with advanced training in trauma-informed coaching and nervous system regulation. I’ve walked this path both personally and professionally, and I bring a combination of experience and empathy to every session.

I blend heart-centered support with evidence-based tools—including breathwork, meditation, mindfulness, EFT tapping, journaling prompts, boundary-setting frameworks, resilience exercises, and spiritual practices. My credentials include:

  • Certified Master Life Coach, Happiness and Purpose Coach, Emotional Intelligence Coach (2024)
  • Goal Setting Coach and Mindfulness Teacher (2023)
  • Master Integrative Energy Therapist and Trauma Recovery Specialist (2020)
  • Spiritual Life Coach, Career Coach, and Mental Health Crisis Intervention Coach (2020)
  • M.A. in Leadership, Grand Canyon University (2024)

For the past several years, I have helped design and launch an employee-focused life coaching program at a local hospital, assisting over 1,000 team members in building resilience, reducing burnout, and reclaiming hope. That experience inspired me to bring trauma-informed care to every corner of our community.

Who I Serve

I support courageous individuals who are:

  • Ready to heal from trauma, grief, and emotional wounds.
  • Determined to build resilience against stress, anxiety, and burnout.
  • Committed to rewriting their life story with love, peace, and purpose.
