Hi, I’m leighton.
I am a mother, an agriculturalist, an Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, and a student of life.
My journey with natural medicine began in my childhood, exploring the wilderness behind my house and creating potions that sparked my love for creating magic. Fast forward a few years and I was making my own natural beauty projects, wild harvesting herbs, and brewing kombucha in my dorm room.
Despite my interest in health, I was still plagued with the usual slew of health issues: cystic acne, PCOS, anovulatory cycles, adrenal fatigue, food sensitivities, asthma, etc. I always opted for herbal medicines, but I wasn’t getting to the root cause of my imbalances.
My winding path eventually brought me to the southern reaches of this planet, Patagonia. That is where I truly began my healing journey as I was connected with the world of ancestral foods, and it is also where I became a mother.
My connection to health morphed as I deeply rooted in nature's rhythms. As women, we are inherently cyclical beings, waxing and waning in tune with the world around us. I also rooted in the knowing that I was worthy of nourishment. Just like the animals on the land, like the seeds in my garden. Like the baby in my arms.
My health challenges became the catalyst for delving deep into my studies and ultimately guiding groups of women on their healing journeys. Today, I specialize in supporting women as they navigate chronic health issues, enhance their fertility, prepare for pregnancy, or find balance amidst the demands of motherhood.
My Approach
No more fad diets and over-restricting. It’s time we learn to tend ourselves like a garden, with love and care. Digestion is the seat of our health, thus we must heal our gut. Then we must nourish ourselves deeply.
ancestral foods
Ancestral foods are foods that we are biologically designed to consume, and that are deeply nourishing and healing by nature. I use foods that help us heal the gut to initially heal sensitivities and that give us potent and easy-to-digest nutrients. These foods are especially important in preparing for pregnancy, the postpartum time, and during lactation.
Ayurvedic medicine
Ayurveda seeks to relieve the suffering in our bodies and achieve radiant health so we can live this life as our highest self. By diagnosing our elemental imbalances (i.e. your Dosha), we can use lifestyle and culinary tools to bring us back to balance. Each body is unique and no one approach works for everyone. Ayurveda provides us with the tools to create a healing plan for your specific body and season of life.
