Her family farm, Big Bear Farm is also the home of Enoch Ministries, a PATH center wherein she uses her love for horses and her passion for counseling to create a peaceful environment and enables individuals to grow, learn, and create change. Being a Christian counselor, Leigh Ellen credits God with the many successes individuals experience.
