Introducing Lei-Lana
London's leading Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist
I'm a highly qualified and certified Naturopathic Nutritional Therapist, wellness expert and educator. I trained intensively at the top school of natural medicine. Since then l've worked with hundreds of clients, transforming their lives, whether through reversing the signs of ageing and increasing longevity, healthy and lasting weight loss, supporting those with chronic illnesses, or making their everyday health better.
My route to Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy
My story starts with my own chronic illnesses. I was abused throughout my childhood. Then, from the age of 16, despite being vulnerable, I lived alone in youth hostels. I didn't have anyone I could ever really open up to or who understood. I used drugs, alcohol and fast food as a release, and from not being empowered with all the knowledge and wisdom that I now have.
Looking back, I know that my body was in a constant state of fight or flight, and unresolved trauma residing inside me. Things didn't get easier as I entered my twenties. I lost my mother to cancer, suffering deeply with grief, as well as processing what had been a complicated relationship.
The effect of these emotional and physical experiences was a series of chronic gut symptoms, painful jaw grind-ing, a missing menstrual cycle and being labelled as infertile.
While seeking the help of doctors and hospital consult-ants, none were able to heal me. The only treatment offered was medication and poor, harmful diet and lifestyle advice. My instincts as to what was going on in my own body (and turned out to be true), were mocked and I was not listened to.
It was when I was armed with the knowledge and expertise from my Naturopathic Nutritional training, paired with experiencing healing practices from around the world, that things transformed. Identifying the root cause of my symptoms, and then using naturopathic protocols to heal, I brought my menstrual cycle back within just 1 week - after it being missing for 12 years, meaning I could conceive. My gut symptoms subsided for the first time in my life. And my energy and happiness levels rocketed. Now, life feels amazing and a bless-ing, every single day.
I'm also often asked what my secret is to anti-ageing. The honest answer is nutrition and lifestyle! This has been key to looking and feeling my best self.
It's this experience that makes me so keen to bring the power of Naturopathic Nutritional Therapy to others. Like you.
