Originally coming from the background of a successful business owner, running several optical / optometrist stores, Leonie’s impressive career within the horticulture, permaculture and organic industries spans 25 years and includes the founding of the highly successful, multi award-winning “Edible School Gardens” program for local primary schools across Queensland. The 12+month program focussed on teaching children all aspects of organic/permaculture gardening from design and implementation, to growing, harvesting, and eventually eating the nutrient-rich food they have learnt how to grow and nurture.
In 2014 Leonie was diagnosed with Lyme Disease and, due to debilitating symptoms such as limited waking hours, pain throughout the body, and brain fog, just to name a few, Leonie had to walk away from her much-loved Edible School Gardens business. She did however find strength during these traumatic and difficult times to discover a new purpose in life … a new project … How to get well from Lyme disease!
What followed was a 7+ year intensive journey of courage and determination, with the exciting and triumphant result of Leonie over-coming Lyme and transforming her health to be able to function effectively in her personal and business life again.
Leonie’s experience of dealing with Lyme disease, Mold illness, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (also known as CFC) and other related health issues has resulted in thorough research and documenting of the best processes and systems to follow, that others on a similar journey can benefit from to regain their health – no matter where in their health journey they may be.
Having spent over 1,000 hours with top health experts, Leonie’s extensive insights of the latest research and practices around healing and health equipment, techniques and therapies can help take you from feeling overwhelmed to empowered … From scared and sick to feeling supported and healthier.
Being diagnosed with Lyme disease, or any of the many illnesses associated with Lyme, is frightening and can be overwhelming … Having the wisdom and guidance such as Leonie shares from her own personal experience helps guide and support others on the steps to take, so they too can come out the other side with better health, mentally, physically and emotionally.
