Leah's spiritual background was conservative and
Christian-based, yet at the same time, eclectic. Her parents practiced a more Jewish lifestyle that adhered closely
to the Old Testament in terms of dietary laws and the Saturday Sabbath, yet their beliefs also embraced charismatic /
Pentecostal elements as well. They were independent, reasoning that no one church could hold all the truth. Thus,
they never joined one particular church, but instead made the rounds, visiting various congregations of their choosing.
As a result, Leah was exposed to many different faiths and viewpoints. This background has served her well in practicing
tolerance, and bridging the gap among couples and families of differing beliefs.
Leah completed a Spiritual
Studies program with the Center for Healing Arts in Portland and was first ordained by the Church of Inner Light in 1992.
She is the Founding Minister and Director of Circle of Light Ministries, LLC, formerly known as Universal Light Church, in Tigard. For more information on twice-monthly services--a
Healing & Meditation/Prayer Circle, please contact Leah directly. Her current ministry includes Reiki healing, intuitive
counseling, and performing wedding and other ceremonies.
