Welcome to Embody Health

Hi, I’m Leigh, I passionately believe in the power of nutrition to support our mental and physical health.

I have a background in Nursing, specialising in Mental Health, Drug/Alcohol Detox & Addictions. Over the last 10 years I have completed study in Nutritional Therapy, Functional Medicine Health Coaching, Hormones Balancing, Gut Health, Microbiome Testing, Psych-K, Muscle Testing, and counselling/psychotherapy modalities (SFBT/IFS).

I have special interests in helping people who are looking for support with Mental Health & Wellbeing challenges (Stress, Anxiety & Depression), plus those who with Nutritional Imbalances. I also work with pre & Type 2 diabetes.

I’m here to support your journey towards greater mental health, balance & wellbeing through Clinical Nutrition & Health Coaching.


Discover the root cause

 

An invitation to step forward on a journey to find the root cause of your symptoms.

Imbalances in your body physically and emotionally will present you with what may seem like a random list of ailments!

However, once we understand the root cause we can design a protocol to bring your body and mind back into balance.


My approach

 

I work with clients in-person (Nelson) or online using consultation and lab testing to understand where your physical, emotional and nutritional imbalances are.

My protocols are designed to support the body’s innate ability to heal both mentally & physically.

I am happy to work alongside any other practitioners you are currently working with.

Are you ready to walk towards a more healthy, vibrant life?

“From the very first moments in working with Leigh, I felt at ease. Her calming and present nature created a very safe environment for me to share my struggles. I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's Disease last summer, and Leigh was a knowledgeable resource for me as I navigated changes to my eating habits. She also helped make some great connections to my lack of satiety and offered healthy suggestions to curb my pesky late afternoon cravings, which were inhibiting my weight loss. I highly recommend Leigh to anyone looking to make changes to their lifestyle to live a healthier life. She's an elegant cheerleader and wonderful Health Coach!”
