Hello, I’m Leila, a Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Feng Shui Consultant.
Having lived in many countries and moved homes over 20 times before even finishing high school (!) I have experienced firsthand how profoundly our surroundings can shape our inner world. And over the years of working with people’s health and emotions I’m convinced of the greater connection that exists between us all. I believe that as humans we’re always quietly tuning in (like receivers picking up signals) and connecting to both the people around us and the places we live. Without even realizing it, we attune, feel an influence and align to various frequencies. Why do I say this? Because it is a big part of my work.
As a practitioner of Chinese Medicine, I studied many things including Acupuncture and Herbology that are a big part of the academic toolkits I draw upon when working with my clients. Building this toolkit took years of studies, passing exam boards, doing clinical hours, continuing education courses and a lot of brain power. But my choice to also incorporate the call of my intuition (I call it opening up to the informational network that we all have access to) has proved to be the best choice for my clients. In my work, I’ve often noticed how words can paint one picture, while the body’s energy quietly sketches another — and it’s in that subtle space between the two that the real story begins to unfold! This is where intuition and medicine (art and science) meet, and where lasting healing often starts.
I have a special interest in working alongside those who may be feeling stuck or experiencing major changes, and those who feel like they are looking to tap into something more in any part of their life. I support clients dealing with anxiety, sleep disorders, grief, stress and those experiencing high sensitivities in their lives.
All the therapeutic techniques I offer such as auriculotherapy (ear seeds and ear mapping), acupuncture, cupping, botanical medicines and Medical QiGong serve to support my clients in restoring a healthy body/mind/spirit balance.
All of the Feng Shui training I incorporate into my home and business consultations take the foundations of Chinese Medicine (the Elements, the idea of flow vs. blockages, Yin/Yang) plus my lived and learned experiences and contribute to the way I uniquely support my clients. Interestingly in the West, we are also beginning to explore this age-old connection through Environmental Psychology, a growing discipline that asks: What is the deeper relationship between an individual and their surroundings? Whether we call it Feng Shui or Environmental Psychology, I believe the heart of the work is the same—your environment matters a lot, it affects you and it has the power to uplift and sustain you when optimized.
I currently live in the South of France but I have resided in many parts of the world (USA, UK, Switzerland and South Africa) while the bulk of my studies were earned in the United States (MSc). My work with clients online allows me to support people from anywhere in the world.
Since completing my Master’s I have continued to study with a range of teachers, deepening my links to this medicine and the wisdom the body offers with trainings in Medical Qi Gong, Auricular Medicine, Herbal therapies, Chinese Medical Facial rejuvenation techniques, Master Tung Points for distal acupuncture, and more. I will never stop learning!
I look forward to being of support and of course, connection.
