« Every action, no matter how small, is already a step towards greater well-being. »
Belgian by origin, Leila has been living in Lisbon, her adopted city, for nearly twenty years. After an initial career in human resources, she decided to turn towards wellbeing support and trained in naturopathy, specialising in foot reflexology.
In her practice, Leila favours a natural approach based on the pillars of health and lifestyle. She places particular importance on micronutrition and phytotherapy, which she complements, when appropriate, with aromatherapy and Bach Flowers. She also offers foot reflexology to support the body’s natural self-regulation processes.
Leila particularly values human connection and supports people with kindness and attentive listening, helping them regain greater vitality.
