Helping those who help others, lead with connection.
Faith-aligned training and support to strengthen your team’s capacity for safe, trauma-informed, connection-centred ministry.
Connection is at the heart of personal and community transformation.
And it's at the heart of your mission.
Ministry isn’t about doing more, it’s about doing what truly matters:
Helping people encounter safety, healing, and hope.
But in a world full of programs, pressure, and rising complexity, even the most committed leaders can feel stretched thin, unsure how to respond to people's needs, and stuck in patterns that limit impact.
Lasting transformation flows from trust, relationship, and a culture where people feel safe — and that starts with connected leaders.
I help churches, ministries, and community organisations cultivate trauma-informed, biblically grounded ways of leading that strengthen your team so you can strengthen your mission.
How We Can Work Together
Trauma-informed Ministry Workshops
Practical, faith-aligned workshops to help your team navigate complex needs with confidence.
Training that draws on evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches and delivery format that is tailored to suit your ministry or organisation.
TBRI® Caregiver Training
Support children and families through the evidence-based Trust-Based Relational Intervention® Caregiver Training.
As a TBRI® Practitioner, I deliver training for people seeking to strengthen the way they respond to the complex needs of vulnerable children and families, in personal or professional contexts.
Community Development Support
Training and coaching to help your team learn and apply a biblical, relational response to poverty.
As a Chalmers Ambassador, I support ministries to move from “doing for” to “walking with” through practical, asset-based frameworks.
"I have worked alongside Leonie with a number of international projects and seen her respectfully and humbly connect with teams, respond with compassion and provide trauma-informed strategies attuned to the unique needs of each team. I have observed how teams trust her authentic relational training approach."
