When your nervous system is dysregulated, healing becomes much harder. The body struggles to integrate and maintain progress, no matter how good the treatment. Addressing the nervous system isn’t a side note — it’s the foundation.
I’m Leonie — a Biodynamic Craniosacral Practitioner, Bowen Therapist, Reiki Master, and Energy Medicine Practitioner with a deep passion for nervous system health, natural healing, and holistic wellbeing. Alongside my practice, I bring over 20 years of experience in community services — supporting people living with disability and the elderly — which shaped my compassionate, client-centred approach in ways I will always be grateful for.
My journey into holistic healing didn’t begin in a classroom — it began in my own body. On New Year’s Eve 1997, what was supposed to be a fun celebration left me with a whiplash injury and a misalignment of my C1 and C2 vertebrae that would quietly unravel my health for years to come. At the time, I had no idea. I was young, and the connection between that moment and what followed took a very long time to understand.
Slowly, my symptoms began to build. Intense head pressure, tight shoulders, upper body tension, heart palpitations, chronic fatigue, brain fog, a deep feeling of disconnection from my own body — and with it, health anxiety that became its own burden.
I believe your body is not broken. It is intelligent, adaptive, and profoundly capable of healing — when given the right conditions, safety, and support.
At the core of my work is nervous system health. Without a regulated nervous system, the body struggles to heal, to integrate change, and to find its way back to balance. This understanding shapes every session I offer.
Drawing from Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, Bowen Therapy, Reiki, and Eden Energy Medicine, I work gently with both the body’s physical structures and its energetic systems to release held tension, restore flow, and create the internal environment where healing becomes possible.
Every session is tailored to you — because no two people, and no two bodies, are the same.
A core part of my work is also empowerment. I love sharing simple, practical tools you can carry into everyday life — to regulate your nervous system, restore your energy, and reconnect with a sense of ease in your body. Because real healing doesn’t only happen on the treatment table.
If any part of my story resonates with yours — you’re in the right place.

My journey into holistic healing didn’t begin in a classroom — it began in my own body.
On New Year’s Eve 1997, what was supposed to be a fun celebration left me with a whiplash injury and a misalignment of my C1 and C2 vertebrae that would quietly unravel my health for years to come. At the time, I had no idea. I was young, and the connection between that moment and what followed took a very long time to understand.
Slowly, my symptoms began to build. Intense head pressure, tight shoulders, upper body tension, heart palpitations, chronic fatigue, brain fog, a deep feeling of disconnection from my own body — and with it, health anxiety that became its own burden. I was seen by GPs and specialists, had blood work, CT scans, MRIs. Nobody could tell me what was wrong. For a long time, I quietly gave up and resigned myself to feeling that way forever.
It wasn’t until 16 years later — after a particularly stressful period that intensified everything — that something in me decided I couldn’t accept that as my life. I started researching my symptoms and stumbled across information about upper cervical misalignment. Everything fit.
I found an upper cervical chiropractor, and although each adjustment brought real relief, it never seemed to last. I couldn’t understand why at the time. What I know now — and what has become central to everything I do — is that my nervous system was so deeply dysregulated from years of chronic pain and stress that my body simply couldn’t hold the changes. This is one of the most important things I want people to understand: when your nervous system is dysregulated, healing becomes much harder. The body struggles to integrate and maintain progress, no matter how good the treatment. Addressing the nervous system isn’t a side note — it’s the foundation.
Continuing my research, I discovered the Atlas Profilax procedure and decided to go ahead with it. My body was thrown into a healing crisis, and my worst symptoms amplified. Desperate for relief, I found my way to Craniosacral Therapy. In that very first session, I was completely blown away. For the first time in years, the intense pressure I had been carrying in my head began to ease. I was hooked — and I knew immediately that I needed to learn this beautifully gentle yet profound therapy myself.
That was the beginning. Bowen Therapy, Energy Medicine, Indian Head Massage, and Reiki followed. Each modality added another layer of understanding — not just of healing in general, but of my own body and its extraordinary capacity to restore itself when given the right support.
My journey hasn’t been without further challenge. A serious illness later brought adrenal fatigue that left me depleted in ways I hadn’t experienced before. It was Energy Medicine that proved pivotal in helping me reclaim my vitality and find my way back to myself.
I share all of this because I want you to know — I don’t just understand chronic pain, nervous system dysregulation, and that frightening feeling that something is deeply wrong from a textbook. I’ve lived it. And I found my way through it.
That is why I do this work.
