In addition to singing, Leah plays the piano, keyboards, and some guitar, and teaches herself Celtic harp. Leah is married and has five children whom she homeschools. She fits her music career around her family commitments, which is partly why she has not yet gone on a concert tour. In addition to her recording career, she also founded a music instruction and marketing company, Savvy Musician Academy, in 2015, and is the CEO and product developer of fantasy and folklore inspired candles at Mythologie Candles.

Sometimes referred to as "the metal Enya", Leah has, in addition to Enya, been compared to Loreena McKennitt, Hayley Westenra, Liv Kristine and Kristine's band Leaves' Eyes, Sharon Den Adel, Moya Brennan (a sister of Enya), Tori Amos, and Blackmore's Night. Her genre is described as Symphonic  and Celtic metal mixed with Folk and World music, as well as Folk metal, Gothic metal, Gothic rock,  Symphonic gothic metal, Power metal, and Symphonic power metal, with Progressive metal, New Age,  and Middle Eastern influences.

On "Ancient Winter", she shifted away from symphonic metal further into Folk rock and world music, including Medieval music. During her childhood, she listened to Gospel and  Choir music as well as Blues and Rock music, such as Jimi Hendrix and The Doors.

In her teens she discovered metal music, starting with Dream Theater and then bands such as Symphony X and  Nightwish. She considers her discovery of Celtic music and then European symphonic metal to be when she musically found where she belonged.
