FIKA COACHING
ABOUT
Who We Are
Fika Coaching is a unique coaching service that leverages the power of The 5 Pillars of Thriving to facilitate personal growth and self-discovery. Founded by Professional Certified Coach Leah Goldman, Fika Coaching offers a transformative coaching experience that goes beyond traditional methods.
The coaching process is custom-designed for each individual. Our goal is to help individuals break through barriers, uncover old narratives, and find clarity to lead a life of fulfillment and purpose. We believe in the power of a power-with dynamic over a power-over dynamic, fostering mutually supportive relationships.
At Fika Coaching, our mission is to empower and support those who are looking to create lasting change.
Our values are centered around authenticity, compassion, empowerment, connection, and transformation. We model our values after the EQUUS 5 Pillars of Thriving: Safety, Trust, Peace, Connection, Freedom, and Joy. These 5 synergistic core pillars held masterfully with the imperatives of care and presence.
Authenticity: We believe in being true to ourselves and encouraging others to do the same.
Compassion: We approach every situation with understanding and empathy.
Empowerment: We aim to empower individuals to take control of their lives and realize their potential.
Connection: We value the deep connection between humans.
Transformation: We are committed to facilitating meaningful change and personal transformation.
Our Mission & Values
Our Equine experiences are currently located at our
Partner Campus in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
If you are not a local client, Leah builds in principles of an equine herd that help speak to your challenges. Leah has worked with clients all over the country and Europe.

In loving Memory of Saint
Saint came to Leah in May of 2020 and was her primary equine partner. Saint left us in October of 2023 at the age of 23.

He will be greatly missed and always remembered for the wisdom and gifts he shared.
“Leah completely blew me away with her expertise."
“I had the absolute pleasure of working with Leah doing private coaching. Having attended therapy before I was unsure of how much I would be able to get out of a session. Leah completely blew me away with her expertise, I talked for not even 5 minutes before she was able to outline exactly where my blockages were and provided me some really easy actions that I was able to implement that week, I felt immediately more confident to set expectations and boundaries for myself in order to live the life I want.”
