Our Story

The Life Leap Foundation was inspired by personal experiences to give people the opportunity for a better, more productive, and happier life.

Our managing director, Misha, was adopted from an abusive environment in Russia. As a result of his past, Misha continues to battle with trauma and mental health. Unfortunately, Misha turned to drugs as a means to cope and experienced an overdose. His mother, Kara Trott, went through all the ups and downs of his recovery and supported Misha in finding a different path to life success. She also saw many other families suffer and the challenges others face in dealing with trauma, addiction, and related life setbacks. Fortunately, she had the resources to give her son the finest care and expert guidance. Now, we want others to have that same opportunity.
