About Leigh
I'm a Certified Nutritional Practitioner from the Institute of Holistic Nutrition and Personal Trainer. I'm passionate in holistic health because our bodies are simply amazing, resilient, reversing disease is possible. Why?
We are constantly self-regulating and self-healing organisms, where our bodies are always trying to heal. But our health history, environmental factors, micro-organism ecosystem, psychological factors, toxins and genetics can cause block(s) to our natural healing processes.
I focus in supporting the body’s natural self-healing and self-regulating mechanisms by peeling back the layers to find the root cause(s), that are contributing to the body's imbalances. By finding these root causes, we can together work on removing them to restore the body's natural healing abilities.
My main focuses are digestive health (Hippocrates said 'all diseases begin in the gut"), optimizing digestive function, silent infections, drainage & detoxification, mitochondrial health and auto immunity.
My private holistic nutrition consulting services are perfect for anyone who is ready to take charge of their health.
My journey into this field was through my own experiences. Growing up I played competitive hockey, which led me to have a personal interest in nutrition and its effects on sports performance. By optimizing my nutrition, I immensely improved my performance by increasing my energy, improving muscle growth & healing, reducing recovery time. I ultimately improved my game by training more frequently and giving me the competitive edge.
In 2008 my hockey career tragically ended from an accident, where my spine had a compression fracture to my L1 vertebrae. At the time of accident, it caused a traumatic experience, as there were a lot of mixed emotions, questions, my health, my future and much more! A period of time after, I ended up going down a bad path, where I was depressed, frustrated, angry and it had introduced me to negative habits like partying, drinking alcohol and lack of motivation.
Gratefully, this path was short lived, I snapped out of it and started going back to gym where I met new friends, which inspired and motivated me into lifting weights and being active. I became a personal trainer from the Australian Institute of Fitness. During my studies I learnt statistics of Australians health conditions. which was quite shocking.

I believe we are self-healing and self-regulating
Through these experiences, I wouldn't be where I am now! I truly believe everything happens for a reason, its our reaction that determines our path to healing. I believe there is not end point to healing, its not linear, there will moments of up and down, as long there is progression!
My passion for holistic health care continues by consistently learning new information, sharing my education through social media and empowering people to heal themselves.
What I do in real life!
I spend my free time exercising, hiking, playing hockey, sauna sweat sessions, cooking, gardening and continuing my education in functional & lifestyle medicine. I am continuously researching and taking courses to increase my knowledge to implement in my daily practice.
I share educational and motivational content about digestive heath, food/recipes, environmental toxins, detoxification, fitness and other modalities to promote healthy living. Explore my content here!
