SUPPORTING WOMEN TO CHANGE COMPANY CULTURE ALIGNED WITH LOVE AND COMPASSION
Speaker, Founder of The Ankara Academy & The Ankara Online Portal, & Creator of the Stalk Your Shadow Oracle Deck
At the heart of every true leader is a deep call to serve—
not from depletion, but from alignment...
Many high-achieving women navigating midlife changes— including those who are neurodivergent or think and feel differently—are discovering that the rules they once lived by no longer apply.
Does this sound like you?
You’re not alone…
Heather Leighton, Spiritual Mentor for Women in Transition and Midlife Awakening Guide (B.HSc), supports high-achieving women to reclaim their inner authority and lead with power, clarity, and purpose—without self-sacrifice.
As Founder of The Ankara Academy and The Ankara Online Portal, Heather offers a transformative blend of Leadership and Business Coaching for powerful women, rooted in the belief that multi-dimensional health honours a multi-dimensional world.
Her approach is intuitive yet grounded, strategic yet soulful—designed to help you share your gifts in a way that feels both impactful and sustainable.
Whether you’re at the threshold of a new path or ready to elevate an existing practice, Heather guides you to do the inner and outer work—because shadow work doesn’t just heal you; it frees you from the patterns of your ancestry.
Heather’s work is rooted in three core truths:
Service doesn’t require self-sacrifice
Multi-dimensional health honours a multi-dimensional world
Shadow work frees you from your ancestry
Whether you’re at a crossroads in business, craving a shift in your relationships, or simply sensing it’s time for more—Heather offers a space to expand, transform, and lead with power and depth.
You don’t have to walk this path alone.
You’re here to serve—but not at the cost of yourself…
