Welcome sweet soul. Before you read on, take an opportunity to put your feet on the floor, take a deep breath in and exhale it all out.
Let me introduce myself! My name is Leah and I'm the source behind Earth & Water Wellness.
My personal exploration of holistic healing began in 2017 upon discovering the pathway of Ayurveda. For some time I had been experiencing fatigue, digestive issues, brain fog and a disconnection from my physical self and others. Ayurveda is the sister science of yoga, which provides a holistic approach to healing the self as a whole. I once read that Ayurveda is the science of life, understanding that the entire web of life is intricately interwoven, and therefore our approach to healing must be the same. Ignited by the desire to explore further, I pursued my 500hr Yoga Teacher certificate + over 1000 hrs of continued supporting education. My training is a beautiful tapestry, which weaves:
-
Ayurveda | Nourish the body + mind with nature
-
Accessible Yoga | Practices for all bodies + abilities
-
Somatics | Trauma healing + nervous system regulation
-
Sacred Sound | Mantra, Kirtan, Harmonium, Handpan
-
Shadow Work | Radically reclaim and unite the Self as a whole to live from the space of integrity
-
Myth | Deity + Archetypal study for activation and empowerment
The core of my teaching strives to create brave spaces for all humans to reclaim a dynamic and compassionate relationship with Self. I firmly believe that a healing space should be accessible and inclusive. My belief is that each and every person should have access to yoga and healing pathways, regardless of size, shape, ethnicity, gender, or economic circumstance.
Vision
Earth & Water Wellness embraces ancient yoga and modern holistic teachings to transform the soul and inspire community healing.
Mission
Committed to cultivating brave spaces for healing built upon equity and inclusion for all, to awaken and celebrate the deserving, authentic self.
Values
Bravery to step out of complacency and embrace discomfort for the sake of dynamic evolution. Bravery to move through the dark, hidden, shunned parts of self, to emerge integrated and whole from a place of integrity.
Compassion for all parts of self through the exploration and discovery of self and others. Compassion through the growth process, understanding growth, change and evolution can be messy, uncomfortable and challenging.
Community promotes belonging, affirming that every part of you is welcome, celebrated and loved. Through community we find support, strength and sanctuary. We are not separate from one another, we are all connected.
