THE STORY BEHIND THE WORK
I’m Leanna Burton Kapp, a mother, storyteller, and the heart behind White Tiger Soul Empowerment.
In 2020, a profound body crisis changed my life. I began documenting what I was experiencing, asking questions, and searching for ways to keep moving forward. “How do I fix me?” became a question that shaped my journey.
Music, movement, writing, and my love for my children helped me through some of my hardest moments. Along the way, I found a purpose: sharing my story and helping people feel seen, heard, and valued.
Heartvale brings that heart into children’s stories, a world where children and grown-ups can explore kindness, feelings, courage, and the magic inside themselves.
I believe in my magic dust. Love is always the answer, and small ripples can become waves.
