My holiday in Hawaii is almost over and I can’t even begin to describe how wonderful it has been. Although the scenery and landscapes, the activities and adventures, have all been amazing, the highlight for me has been spending time with loving, like-minded people. For those who know me, or have been to a retreat or

One of the best ways to learn about something, is to experience it yourself. Many naturopaths come to this industry due to their own health issues, which they found didn’t respond to mainstream medicine and they went on the search for alternatives.

Languaging – Do You Own Your Talk?

by Leisa on June 6, 2011

In my DVD talk The Emotional Aspects of Healing, there is a section where I discuss the importance of being aware of the way we speak – the words we say, our habitual expressions, and the meaning behind our words. Our words can be a reflection of our beliefs, of how we view life, and we

Is Expression of Feeling a Weakness?

by Leisa on January 24, 2011

I’ve had cause to ponder this question over the last few weeks, as someone close to me judged me as being a “spiritual beginner” because of the way I deal with my feelings and emotions. And I had to stop and process that, and see what my truth within that judgement was. I choose to see anyone who “pushes my
