Extended Stay — Why the women's circles built after overseas trauma treatment beat the flight home

Staying Longer in Recovery: what running women's circles overseas added that the treatment programme could not

Leanne Sheargold flew overseas for intensive trauma treatment in her early 50s, after repressed memories of childhood abuse surfaced and a 33-year marriage ended, then stayed on well past the programme's end date. An intuitive trauma healer and CEO of Pure Gold Holistic and Wellbeing in Australia, she argues the recovery that held came from the women's circles she ran while still away, not from the clinical weeks that took her there. She walks through what those circles gave that one-to-one treatment could not: witnesses, ritual, and a role that was not patient. Listeners get her test for when to stay in a recovery setting longer, and what to build while they are there.

Leanne Sheargold is an intuitive trauma healer and quantum healing practitioner who supports women and men recovering from childhood abuse, domestic violence, complex trauma, and life-shattering health events.

Her pathway into healing began with a personal health crisis and decades of life upheaval. She had a stroke at 28 while parenting three sons under five, and later, in her early 50s, began recovering repressed memories of childhood abuse while her marriage collapsed. Seeking intensive treatment overseas led to a period of focused recovery and community support that redirected her life toward running healing circles and offering energy work.

Today, Leanne uses her lived experience and spiritual healing work to help women reconnect with themselves, release old patterns, and move beyond trauma. She co-runs a healing shop in Australia, where she supports clients through quantum healing, energy work, spiritual practices, aromatherapy products, meditation, both in person and remotely. Her work often focuses on women dealing with trauma, chronic fatigue, emotional heaviness, family narratives, old belief systems, and the process of becoming what she calls a “chain breaker.”

On a practical level she combines intuitive and multidimensional practices with body-based awareness, ancestral healing, and energetic support to help clients clear trauma, inherited patterns, and energetic imprints.
