Nature is a Powerful Healer

It’s common for women to put others’ needs before their own, but eventually self-neglect can lead to burnout and breakdown. Perhaps your physical health has experienced a setback, or maybe you don’t have the emotional resilience you once did?

Nature is a powerful healer. It cleanses, clears, soothes and calms what’s stressed. Then pair unspoiled nature with yoga, meditation, wellness and soul-nourishing exercises and you have the perfect recipe for full body and mind rejuvenation.

Storm Leutner

Health Coach

Women’s health and wellness have always been one of Storm’s passions and as she explored homeopathy and naturopathy and other alternate forms of medicine through the years, she realized that wellness can only be understood by working with the whole person, not just the physical, but the emotional and spiritual as well.

After many years of managing courses and seminars geared towards women and their day-to-day issues, she wanted to share the knowledge she had accumulated and became a health coach in 2015. Through the years she has narrowed her field down to two specific areas – gut health and emotional eating.

Both have affected her over the years and so many women find that digestion and weight plague them, especially as they age. Storm looks forward to sharing what she has learned in hopes that it will make a difference to women’s overall well-being.
