Pono by Leen

Real growth, one conversation at a time.

Hello, Fellow Traveler!

Your journey starts here.

Pono By Leen is a judgment-free zone where people can show up as they are, feel seen, and discover the courage to take on their next challenge (and then the world)! With a focus on relationships, Pono creates a safe space for couples and individuals alike to explore, understand, and strengthen their connections. This is a space to work through the layers of emotions and experiences that shape our bonds, fostering healthier, more fulfilling relationships.

Pono is derived from the NLP technique Ho'oponopono, a Hawaiian practice that involves asking for forgiveness, expressing gratitude, and love in order to heal and transform relationships—ones with yourself, family, friends, and partners. Accompanied with inner work and self-reflection, this technique encourages self-progress through these simple yet powerful prayers: “I'm sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” This process is especially effective for couples seeking to rebuild trust, find forgiveness, and create a foundation of gratitude and mutual respect.

Through Pono, I work with individuals who seek to conquer their own breakthroughs, turn fear into fuel, doubts into action, and discover the version of themselves they always wanted to become. This journey of personal growth is equally transformative in the realm of relationships, as it allows clients to show up as their best selves in their connections with others. If that’s you, then welcome to the start of your next chapter; there will be tears, deep self-reflection, and a whole lot of doubt—but the favorite version of yourself, and your relationships, will thank you for it!

    In these sessions, we will use Gestalt therapy to address unresolved negative emotions (anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt). Gestalt therapy focuses on the present moment and encourages self-awareness by exploring how past experiences influence current feelings and behaviors. The first session is an introduction, and the second session focuses on the real work, with the third being optional for feedback or additional processing.

What should I expect from our sessions?

Before

Come prepared to unpack whatever it is that has been keeping you from reaching your goals! Take notes of them, reflect upon them, and prepare to unravel these limiting beliefs together. At Pono by Leen, you’ll find a judgment-free zone and a safe space where you’re encouraged to bring your full, authentic self. Whatever you need to share, know it will be met with understanding and acceptance.

During

This is the place to let your thoughts, limiting beliefs, fears, hopes, and goals run wild! Be prepared to share and do the work, even when it gets tough! I will be with you every step of the way, offering guidance and support, ensuring you’re never alone on this journey. Together, we’ll navigate the tough spots and celebrate every breakthrough.

After

Do the homework assigned! Make sure you understand that work is not just what goes on during the session; rather, it is how much you invest in your journey on your own! As you take on this essential work outside our sessions, remember that my support continues; I’ll be by your side, cheering you on and helping you stay aligned with your growth.

What if I’m not ready for a session?

This workbook was designed to help you recognize your limiting beliefs and get started on your journey to becoming the favorite version of yourself! With insights rooted in breakthrough strategies, this resource guides you to uncover hidden patterns and reframe beliefs that may be holding you back. Breakthroughs don’t happen all at once; they’re a collection of moments when self-awareness meets intentional action. This workbook is your first step towards unlocking that potential and creating space for change that lasts.

That’s okay! Here is a free workbook for you.

What are clients saying

  • "I came into the session with Leen thinking that a specific

    issue was the cause for why I was in distress; however,

    during the session and towards the end of it, I recognized

    that there was much more to how I was feeling and why I

    was feeling it. This session allowed me to better

    understand why I was reacting to certain situations the

    way I was. I came in wanting a specific solution then and

    there, but that was not going to happen with Pono! The

    session gave me the opportunity to better understand my

    self and my long term needs, and it allowed the time and

    space to recognize what I needed to work on for a long

    term solution, not just a short term one."

    - L.J.

  • "Leen is my smarter friend. Leen made sure to walk me

    through every step of this beautiful process, good or bad.

    She taught me to embrace every emotion that I have, and

    learn how to deal with it, sometimes just accept it. Leen is

    a person you can be vulnerable around, and make sure

    that your feelings will be validated. She will not tell you

    what you want to hear, but what you need to hear.

    Because of her, I was able to get in contact with my

    feelings and deal with them. She is the best decision I

    have ever taken."

    - C.S.

  • "Starting my journey to seek help was extremely difficult

    however after the first session with u, u showed me how

    easy & comforting it is to have someone listen to u and

    help you out. I don’t usually like asking anyone for help,

    but from u it came naturally and u genuinely helped me

    improve my outlook on life and deal with any obstacle

    without it completely consuming me. It was an amazing

    experience. I discovered things about myself that I didn't

    know before. WOULD RECOMMEND IT. 🙏🏻"

    - N.M.

  • "Life coaching, I went in not taking it too seriously

    as I don't really believe in many things to do with it.

    After my first session I was eager to go onto my

    next session as I started feeling, thinking and

    going with my day differently. Now, I want to get

    to the end of this experience because I feel it

    has helped me and will help me a lot. And Leen,

    well, I never felt this comfortable talking to

    anyone about my life as much as I did with her,

    so thank you ❤️"

    - A.B.

  • "First of all, this session was my very first encounter with

    life coaching. I only heard of it but never attended any

    before. I didn't know what to expect & I wasn't sure what

    will I get out of it. I went with an open mind to better

    understand the concept. During the session, I started

    realizing how deep & impactful the experience is, and for

    me the best part was the breathing exercise. The session

    was an eye opener & I highly recommend it to everyone I

    know! Such a lovely experience & I can't wait for the next

    one."

    - A.G.

  • "It has been an absolute pleasure to work with Leen. She

    has the right tools and techniques to help you solve your

    problems. More importantly, Leen is a great listener and

    is eager to help others overcome their struggles. She is

    kind and compassionate and this is the main reason I

    always look forward to our sessions."
