by Leisa on February 18, 2020

Do you ever feel like you need to press the reset button and halt life in its tracks? A pause so that you can take a step back, breathe for a moment, and have a look at where you’ve come from, where you are right now, and where you want to go in the future?

by Leisa on October 17, 2019

Of all people, I should know this one well! Having worked with thousands of people over the past fifteen years, often closely accompanying them on their healing journeys – if there’s one thing I’ve learned, is that it’s never a straight path back to health. In August I wrote my first blog post “In Recovery”

In Recovery…

by Leisa on August 5, 2019

I can’t believe it’s been almost three years since I’ve written on my blog and been actively involved on a regular basis with Embracing Health.

The Beauty of Detox in Bali

by Leisa on July 11, 2016

Every time I walk off the plane at Denpasar airport and take in the unique scent of  the incense-laden air here in Bali, I know I’ve come home to a place of my heart. From the very first time I set foot in Ubud, I knew there was something magical about this place and even

I really shouldn’t read “health” articles on “news” sites, as they do little more than to frustrate me at the lack of knowledge so often on display. This recent article – “Fountain of youth pill available in just two years: Blend of 30 vitamins and minerals may reverse aging of the brain” almost  made me

Don’t you just love it when the mainstream media points out the dangers of things like eating fruits and vegetables, or doing risky health practices such as juicing? Honestly, I wonder where they come up with these articles sometimes and I cringe at the thought of people reading them and believing the ridiculous information they

The Course Of Disease

by Leisa on April 19, 2016

Since I’ve really ramped up my naturopathic consulting again this year, it’s been great to get reminded of the reasons why I entered this field so long ago and what drew me to the natural healing profession, even as a child. One of the things that I love about natural medicine is working with the
