25.01.2022 Sunday morning horse time

24.01.2022 Do something today that your future self will thank you for! With only one week to go until the Embracing Health Detox, Healing & Raw Food Retreat kicks off in beautiful Bali, now is the time to make the decision and just do this! I've a few spaces left for those people who decide today that a retreat is just what they need to push the reset button on life and refocus on what they really want. I have an incredible retreat planned, with juice fasting, herbal tonics, daily yog...a, Qi gong, lectures, sound healing, breathwork, colonics, sauna and daily massages and spa treatments, not to mention the raw food restaurant tour of Ubud that we enjoy after the juice fast. I'd like to invite you to join me in Bali from the 15th to 23rd March, 2019. If you have been wanting to take your health to a new level and participate in a retreat that has a huge array of elements, specifically designed to get you outstanding results in a very short time - then don't miss out on this event! http://www.embracinghealth.com.au/retreat/ubud-bali

24.01.2022 Salamat pagi! Good morning beautiful Bali! Today is the day we start a detox adventure together in this magical setting. A week to drop into ourselves & open to the flow & beauty of life when we just stop for a moment

23.01.2022 4 Weeks Until the March Bali Retreat We have just four weeks until the Embracing Health Detox, Healing & Raw Food Retreat kicks off in beautiful Bali! I've a few spaces left for those people who decide today that a retreat is just what they need to push the reset button on life and refocus on what they really want. http://www.embracinghealth.com.au/retreat/ubud-bali... Some of you may be aware that I've had a pretty tough time over the past few years. I'll be writing more about that in the future, as the growth curve has been steep, and the changes in myself are profound. I'm a different person than the one you may have known in the past, but there are always gifts in trauma and beauty if you have the eyes to see it. If you're looking for an inspirational retreat run by a bouncy teenager with an Instagram-worthy bikini body, this isn't it :-) But if you want a space to truly get in touch with yourself, to experience food as medicine that opens you up to greater insights, awareness and healing, and are ready to delve deep into the messy parts of life that test and challenge us - then join me this March. I can guarantee that you'll go home with much, much more than you came with. I'd like to invite you to join me in Bali from the 15th to 23rd March, 2019. If you have been wanting to take your health to a new level and participate in a retreat that has a huge array of elements, specifically designed to get you outstanding results in a very short time - then don't miss out on this event!

23.01.2022 This is where we are eating tonight - Fivelements Resort - the last night of the retreat & a huge celebration for the wonderful guests who did so well through a very intense detox program that didn't just cleanse the physical body - but we went deeply into the emotional & spiritual aspects as well. What a journey Tonight Fivelements is putting on an incredible five course, fine dining, raw vegan tasting menu for our group. The food at Fivelements is like artwork, they create the most stunning dishes that taste as divine as they look. We can't wait for our special last evening to come together as a group, to reflect & celebrate the bond we've formed during this amazing week together

23.01.2022 LET'S DO THIS!!! With only three weeks to go until the Embracing Health Detox, Healing & Raw Food Retreat kicks off in beautiful Bali, now is the time to make the decision and just do this!

23.01.2022 Salad bowl for dinner! Yuuummmmm! Green leaves, rocket, alfalfa, lentil & chick pea sprouts, sun dried tomato & capsicum, olives, avocado, carrot, sauerkraut, Kim chi, tempeh & baked sweet potato - divine!

21.01.2022 I shared this earlier but it was not accredited to the correct author & is no longer available. This is the original post & is a very powerful & authentic read

20.01.2022 Pressing the Reset Button on Life... Do you ever feel like you need to press the reset button and halt life in its tracks? A pause so that you can take a step back, breathe for a moment, and have a look at where youve come from, where you are right now, and where you want to go in the future? This feeling is much more common than most people think, and the yearning to step off the treadmill of life and just stop for a moment can be overwhelming and lead to endless frustratio...Continue reading

20.01.2022 Let's do it! My next Bali retreat coming up on the 10th November is almost full and at this stage I have just two places left in single King rooms with luxury spa bathrooms for two lucky people who want to have the experience of a lifetime in Bali, and Kori has just let me know that I can have an extra twin room if I want it as well! I have detailed information about the retreat - what is included, what to bring, how to get there, pricing options ready to email in a flash - so if you would like to be laying by this pool in a few short weeks, sipping an incredible juice, please email me this morning at [email protected] and I'll get that to you straight away! Don't miss out - this retreat is going to truly be one of my best! <3

20.01.2022 Here we go again! Day 7 of our juice fast & myself & five other crazy ladies have decided to hike Mt Batur to watch the sunrise. We were picked up 2am & have an hour's drive to get to the base of the mountain before hiking up to the 1717m peak. We're actually feeling surprisingly energetic & are pretty excited about the challenge - especially after juice fasting for a week! See you at the top!

16.01.2022 Breaking the fast! Look at these magnificent colours in the magnificent fruit platters the gorgeous staff at Kori Ubud put together for our breakfast - it is divine!

13.01.2022 Ive changed my name! For my birthday Ive gifted myself something that Ive been wanting for some time now a new name! The decision actually wasnt that easy. Leisa Wheeler has a history Ive had that name for nearly 50-years now and it is the one that I commenced my naturopathy career with. The one that was attached to articles in newspapers and magazines, published in books and in manuals for lectures and seminars, this name made its way onto the cover of the fantastic...Continue reading

10.01.2022 Day 1 of the Embracing Health Retreat in Bali & we started the day with an amazing session of Synergy yoga with Oksana Sokol. Having not done yoga for a while, it was the perfect session to feel back into my body & realize aha! There you are! Most of the guests had a similar experience & raved about the beautiful way that Oksy teaches & how fantastic it was to feel into places that we hadnt connected with for a long time. Day 1 of juice kicked off this morning with a mix o...f green apple, bok choi, cucumber, lime, celery & pineapple - the perfect start to the day. After a lecture on detoxification & the bodys incredible self-healing powers it was into the treatments - colonics, saunas, Boreh clay wraps massages & herbal teas & tinctures. And doesnt this pool look inviting

10.01.2022 I’m back in beautiful Bali! it really is like a second home here, so familiar & so healing. Regardless of the hysterical & often absurd Coronavirus panic, I... have an incredible group of 20 amazing people joining me on Friday to start a 10 day detox retreat where we dive deeply into all aspects of health - physical, emotional & spiritual. It will be a week of dropping the mask we wear each day in all our normal busyness & taking the time to go within & discover who we really are. A powerful & enlightening path of discovery awaits every participant - myself included Oh & our spa has had a renovation! Oh my how gorgeous is Putri Spa now

09.01.2022 ** <3 One Place Left For Bali Detox Retreat! <3 ** I have to say, with my hand on my heart, that this exact scenario happens every single time I run a retreat! I don't know how it happens, but in the most bizarre synchronicities of circumstances, I am always left with one spare room, one week out from the start of my retreats. It's happened so many times now that I just shrug my shoulders and know that the perfect person who is just desperate to take that space, is frantical...ly organising their life to allow them to come. And they'll let me know that today! The person who ends up booking that very last place at the retreat is always someone who really needs to be there, and they get the most out of this life-changing experience. I'm sure this one will be no different! So if this is you and you're desperate to take that last place, please let me know that you're joining us today :-) It's not long now until the start of my November 10th Bali Detox, Healing & Raw Food Retreat! If you have been wanting to take your health to a new level and participate in a retreat that has a huge array of elements, specifically designed to get you oustanding results in just ten short days - then don't miss out on this event! Email me at [email protected] and I'll book you in for this very last place!

08.01.2022 There are only three short weeks until we get underway at my November 10th Bali Detox, Healing & Raw Food Retreat! With only two places left - could one of them be yours? Next year, I'm taking a gap year (is it even called that at my age?) and taking some personal time out to work on other endeavours and projects. I don't have any retreats planned at all for 2017, so this is likely to be my last one for quite some time. Although I do reserve the right to put on a spontaneous ...retreat at some point if I feel so inclined! :-) From my many years of traveling to Bali to run my healing retreats, I have fine-tuned and expanded my program to bring in the very best that Ubud has to offer. Ubud has developed into a central healing mecca with the most incredible raw food, juices, teas, tonics, and elixirs available as well as an abundance of world-class practitioners to call on to facilitate certain aspects of the retreat. The development of my own practice has called me to take the retreat to a new level, and I am answering that call with the depth of knowledge that comes from my own experiences, which I have woven into the retreat in a way that will empower you beyond anything you have encountered before. Ive put together a very select and detailed program which is nurturing and supportive, and will take you on a journey that is not just healing, but indulgent and inspiring as well. You will have the opportunity to go deeper than in the past, exploring not just the physical aspects of healing, but having the option to explore hidden elements that can affect emotional and spiritual health. With the retreat being held in the most beautiful of locations, you can relax into the experience and enjoy the visual beauty that surrounds you.

07.01.2022 So, I've had a very blonde moment (well more than a moment!). I was going to be running a retreat at Byron Bay this November, but instead I cancelled that one and am heading off to run a high-level detox retreat in Bali instead. Except that I forgot to cancel the little studio apartment I rent for myself when I run retreats at Byron! Because it has been prepaid with very little chance of a refund, I'd rather have someone else take the booking for a heavily discounted rate and... enjoy this beautiful beachfront apartment for a week at the end of November. It is the studio, not the full house that is available from 20th - 27th November at Tallow Beach at Suffolk Park. I've paid approximately $1300 for the week, but will sell it on for $750. If you're interested in a week in a beautiful Byron Bay studio on the beach - message me ASAP so I can organise it with you! https://www.byronbayholidayrentals.com/taylors-beach-house.

07.01.2022 Sitting here at one of my favourite breakfast restaurants, Soma, contemplating the close of what has been an incredible 8-night retreat. I had plans to post an ...update of what we were doing every day, but there just wasnt time & as I was fully participating in the cleanse, I felt too insular & connected just with our group to be writing online. However, I have all my diary notes from the week & will posting much more about the retreat when Im back. The experience had by the amazing group of people who gathered together to participate in the healing retreat was profound. The feedback has been fantastic & even though there are tweaks Id like to make for future retreats, I can say that it was a very successful event & often life changing experience. For me personally this retreat here in magical Bali marks a turning point. Before coming here to run the retreat, I had been contemplating whether I would be walking away from this part of my life & closing the door on my healing work. I knew that being here would show me one way or another what direction my path in life was heading. And there is no doubt in my mind - this is exactly where I am meant to be & exactly what Im meant to be doing. This last week the clouds have lifted & I have immense clarity, inspiration, focus, purpose & a very clear path forward. There are a few hurdles to still overcome in Dan & Is personal circumstances & I have some work to do in defining my healing work & bringing forward all that Ive learned over the past few very intense, traumatic & wounding years. But from the depths of destruction comes rebirth & great gifts & it is now with joy that I look forward to sharing the next chapter of life & healing journey. Thank you to every guest who invested their trust in me & helped me to see my own worth, thank you to one of my best friends Oksana Sokol & her amazing husband Michael Turlock, thank you for the support, food & inspiration Ben Richards, thank you to my gorgeous husband Dan for his endless love & support & huge thank you to my bestie Jen Adams who held the fort at home & looked after all my beloved animals while I was away - the daily updates & videos were THE BEST!! And to beautiful Bali & the kind & generous people here in Ubud you have my utmost love & gratitude.

05.01.2022 The Magic of Healing in Bali Every time I walk off the plane at Denpasar airport and take in the unique scent of the incense-laden air in Bali, I know Ive come home to a place of my heart. From the very first time I set foot in Ubud, I knew there was something magical about this place and even though I have been back dozens of times now, that magic has not diminished. Ive run healing retreats in many locations around Australia and they all have their own natural beauty and...Continue reading

04.01.2022 Join me for an incredible detox and healing experience in magical Bali - March 2020 <3

04.01.2022 <3 Trust <3 Yesterday I posted about having one room left at my upcoming Bali retreat and how that so often happens so that the right person can join the retreat just when they need to. Ten minutes after I posted that message I received an email below, which I have had permission to share: Hi Leisa... I am this person, without a doubt. If the spot is still available please let me know before I proceed to do what it will take to make it happen. I didn't respond to this earlier because I thought it would just be too hard - too hard for the others who would have a much heavier load on them in my absence from my business, too hard because I have low mobility because of a knee problem ( I can do most things, just slowly) and not being familiar with the particular hotel in Bali, therefore not knowing how easy or not it would be for me to get around. Not real good on slopes and lots of stairs. And yet I know I should know better than to let these things get in the way of what I know for sure I should do. Last Saturday a Psychic/Medium popped up out of absolutely nowhere and gave me direct messages from my long dead Father that were so specific, accurate, profound and blunt, it has rocked my world. She/he referred to exactly the above scenario and the wake-up call I need to act on. I go to Bali a lot and will be there again over Xmas/New Year but I urgently need a completely different time out right now and I know Bali is the perfect place for it. Anyway, please do let me know if this spot is still available. thank you Yes, it is available, it is yours, and I love the synchronicity that occurs when you just let go and trust <3

03.01.2022 *Only 8 places left for March 2020 Bali Retreat* I'm really excited that the bookings for my next Bali retreat are flying in and I'm more than half-full already :-) I only have limited places left, so if you were wanting to join this amazing 9 night retreat in Ubud, you can secure your place for just $250 at http://www.embracinghealth.com.au/retreat/ubud-bali - all the information and inclusions can be found at that page and if you have any queries at all, don't hesitate to email me at [email protected]. Hope you can join me! <3 <3 <3

03.01.2022 Healing is Not a Linear Path Of all people, I should know this one well! Having worked with thousands of people over the past fifteen years, often closely accompanying them on their healing journeys if theres one thing Ive learned, is that its never a straight path back to health. In August I wrote my first blog post In Recovery after nearly three years away from Embracing Health dealing with what I call a major life clusterfuck of epic proportions. Earlier this year t...Continue reading

02.01.2022 In Recovery... I cant believe its been almost three years since Ive written on my blog and been actively involved on a regular basis with Embracing Health. The time has passed both in a flash, and in some ways it feels like forever and that Embracing Health was in a previous life. And in some really significant ways, it was. Im not the same person I was in 2016. For a long time, I wasnt sure if I would pick my business back up again, and I thought I might walk away from ...Continue reading

02.01.2022 This gorgeous little girl Chloe, is my husband Dans little cousin & for the last 7 years has been suffering from a rare & horrific disease called Vanishing Whi...te Matter. Ive been watching the furore surrounding the astonishingly ignorant campaign by Israel Folau & had to share this article from a family who truly are in a fight of their lives. Its Chloes 11th Birthday tomorrow - please show your support for this brave little girl & her amazing family by heading to the Facebook Page SavingChloeSaxby https://m.facebook.com/savingchloesaxby/ & if you would like to donate to finding a cure for VWM go to her webpage https://chloesaxby.com.au

01.01.2022 OK, due to some comments on a post from earlier, I need to address the presumption that protesting the loss of freedoms equals the lack of care for people's hea...lth, which is actually the opposite. If our government put people's health first: *IV Vitamin C would be the first treatment offered for anyone who presents in hospital or their medical clinic with a respiratory illness. There is a huge body of evidence for this treatment option, yet it is not offered. It would have a huge impact on severity and mortality of respiratory illnesses. *Naturopathy would not have been deliberately and systematically destroyed by the medical and pharmaceutical industries and would be regarded as a valid treatment option for chronic illness and would integrate seamlessly alongside orthodox medicine for optimal patient care. *The government would not have taken away the ability for people to claim for valid natural therapies through private health insurance, making it unaffordable for most to access. *The government would not stand by and allow orthodox medicine to be the 3rd leading cause of death in the Western world and not be held accountable for those deaths. Death by having the correct dosage of the correct drug dispensed - so no errors - is a massive problem that is swept under the carpet, not to mention the slow death by the drugs that treat chronic illness. *Food as medicine, nutrition, herbalism and natural medicine would not be vilified and ridiculed in the media and would hold a respected position in an integrated health model. Our large evidence base and thousands of years of history would hold a valid place in our health care system and would not be labelled as quackery by the medical profession who have everything to gain by keeping people unwell and dependent upon their drugs. *The elderly would not be so over-medicated that they have no immune system left and are increasingly vulnerable to infection and illness due to rampant and excessive reliance on prescribed medication. *Integrated medical practitioners who practice a style of medicine that encompasses a more holistiic approach would not be hounded by the AMA and driven out of the profession when they are spending more time with their patients and getting better results. *Studies of evidence based natural medicine and orthomolecular medicine would be taught to medical practitioners and these proven approaches would be used by medical practitioners for the best outcomes for their patients. "First do no harm" would actually mean something. *Nutrition, food as medicine, and herbalism would be taught in medical school and carry just as much weight, if not more, as their drug models of "one symptom, one drug" which in most cases does not address the underlying health condition and just band-aids or masks the symptoms. *Nutrition and basic herbal knowledge would be taught in schools and children would grow up not being frightened of illness but know they had the tools at hand to keep their immune systems strong, and would have the confidence to know how to treat themselves and support their body at the first sign of illness - and many would heal without the necessity of medical intervention. *People wouldn't be taught in the media to "soldier on" when they are unwell and would have a philosophy that understands that the human body needs rest to heal, and rather than being drugged into suppressing symptoms to enable people to continue working, support is given to a natural healing process. *The elderly and vulnerable wouldn't have to live on below subsistence incomes and the government would support those in society that are most at risk of poor health and ensure that they were able to afford to eat well and look after their health. So if our government was actually interested in putting people's health first, we wouldn't be at this point right now, where the "only" way to protect the vulnerable is to enforce extreme measures onto the entire population which may include mandatory vaccination. To accuse people who are protesting and raising awareness about loss of freedoms, of not caring about people's health, turns a complex situation into a black and white argument that pits people against each other. Buying into that narrative doesn't allow for healthy debate and the raising of serious issues that need questioning. By making those those two trains of thought diametrically opposed "protesting draconian laws" or "putting people's health first" any conversation is immediately shut down. I can hold both those ideas without one canceling out the other - this is called critical thinking and is something more people need to learn how to do.
