Leanne Cairns
Certified Health & Wellness Coach + Founder of Mind Body STEM
i know what it feels like to lose a sense of identity beyond work and crave a culture that encourages well-being and personal fulfillment.
With over 20 years of experience in civil engineering and construction, I understand how demanding the industry can be and cause professionals to neglect their well-being. I’ve also experienced what it’s like to feel disconnected from personal passions and individuality, which led me to health and wellness coaching.
Now, I help professionals build sustainable habits, prioritize their well-being, and reconnect with what brings them fulfillment.
My leadership style as a wellness coach is rooted in compassion and vulnerability, creating an open, supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to embrace growth and thrive.
My Journey to Well-being as a Female Working in Construction
My mental well-being journey has been shaped by the pressures of working in a demanding, male-dominated industry - and I wouldn’t change the experience for anything.
Only a few years in, I felt very isolated and was convinced I was in the wrong industry.
I sought fulfillment outside of work, diving into interior design, pursuing an MBA, and later launching a product line sold at Anthropologie. By day, I was a construction manager; by night, a designer.
This journey helped me rediscover my passions, and eventually, I merged the skills I developed outside of work with my career, finding joy and purpose in the industry again.
This life experience not only renewed my sense of fulfillment but empowered me to show up more authentically in both my career and personal life.
