Client Stories
Style was the doorway. This is what changed.
What began with style often became something far deeper.
Real transformations from clients navigating identity shifts, visibility shifts, and new levels of leadership in their work and life

From emerging teacher to global authority evolving identity alongside expanding influence.
“Leesa has a rare ability to take into account the whole picture of where I’m at and then build on that based on where the next chapter of my life is heading.”
I’ve been working with Leesa for many years and she has been an integral part of the evolution of my personal style. This evolution has happened naturally as my life has developed. Over time, my roles have expanded to include business owner, client-facing work, motherhood, author, speaker, Vedic Meditation teacher and mentor.
Alongside this expansion, my sense of personal style has also refined. My work with Leesa has been an important through-line as I’ve matured and grown in self-confidence.

Refining identity, visibility and presence through a period of profound transition
“I feel like myself in a way I hadn’t for a long time.”
Working with Leesa came at a pivotal moment in my life - I was navigating one of those profound transitions that begins by quietly dismantling who you thought you were, while something deeper asks you to build something truer in its place.
The True Style Journey met me exactly there. What surprised me most was how much it wasn’t just about the clothes - it was about learning to see myself with fresh, honest eyes, and choosing, deliberately, how I wanted to show up in the world from that point forward.
Leesa has a rare gift for holding space for that kind of inner transformation while making the process feel supportive, playful, and even joyful.

From self-consciousness and invisibility to embodied confidence, visibility and creative authority.
“I’m not hiding anymore. I’m fully okay with being looked at, with people noticing me, with standing out.”
Before working with Leesa, I was in a huge transition both personally and professionally. I was moving away from being seen as a social media manager and stepping fully into being a photographer and business owner, but I still felt like people saw me as young and inexperienced rather than as the woman I had become.
Personally, I had very little sense of style and was hiding a lot because I felt insecure in my body. I wanted to feel confident, feminine and fully seen.
Leesa helped me stop dressing to disappear. For the first time, I began wearing clothes that truly reflected me and celebrated my shape rather than hiding it. Even when I initially resisted certain ideas, she always saw something I couldn’t yet see for myself.

Rebuilding identity, confidence and purpose after profound personal change.
“I’ve stepped into the woman I always knew I could be.”
I met Leesa at a time in my life where everything was shifting. I had just come out of a relationship, was processing the grief, had moved house and was starting over as a single mother. It was exciting, but also deeply overwhelming.
Leesa became far more than a stylist throughout that process. She became a mentor - supporting me, encouraging me and helping me navigate major transitions at every level.
The work we did together gave me the confidence to completely rebuild my life and create meaningful work from my own experiences. Today, I feel stronger, more grounded and more myself than ever before.
It started with clothes, but it became a complete transformation.
Ali Mapletoft
Creative Consultant, Author, Speaker & Founder of Creative Oxygen
A visual identity designed to evolve alongside a life of creative change-making.
“I have fewer things in my wardrobe, fewer decisions to make, and it’s completely transformed how I show up.”
Before working with Leesa, I was constantly searching externally - dyeing my hair different colours, buying endless clothes and filling my wardrobe with things that still somehow never quite worked together.
What Leesa helped me realise was that the answer wasn’t more. It was understanding how to work with what was already there - my body, my personality, my creativity and the pieces that genuinely reflected who I was.
Now, I own far fewer clothes, make far fewer decisions, and getting dressed feels effortless - something that matters enormously when you’re running a business, raising a family and constantly creating.
This work is not about appearance alone
It is about aligning identity, visibility and expression so that your presence reflects who you’re becoming and the opportunities around you begin to change accordingly.
