An Introduction from Lesley:
Hey! I’m Lesley, founder of Shine True Wellness Co. I’ve been a Registered Social Worker since 2010 and have experience counselling all ages in the school and healthcare system. I have a passion for supporting people through life’s challenges and teaching the skills of resilience.
When I began to experience my own physical and mental health issues that no doctors or specialists could explain, I turned to natural health and everything started to make sense. My sudden food intolerances, the hormonal issues (miscarriages and terrible PMS), feeling extremely fatigued and unable to concentrate at work, the bloating, anxiety and extremely low mood at certain times, it was all connected!
I learned that what we eat and how we eat matters. There is a direct link between our gut health and our mental health, and our body is always giving us signs. I tried the band-aid approaches- took antacids, an antidepressant, saw a counsellor because I thought I had to, not because I wanted to, and tried eating gluten-free, dairy-free and refined sugar-free. It was no surprise that these things only managed my symptoms and would do nothing to actually improve my health. My own struggles led me to study nutrition, and I’m now a Registered Holistic Nutritionist.
Shine True Wellness Co takes a holistic approach to mental healthcare by helping you uncover the root cause of your symptoms and learn how to take back control of your mood and mind. This natural, med-free approach to anxiety, depression and overwhelming stress leads to much more lasting results than common band-aid approaches. Through lifestyle and nutritional changes, mindset coaching, and subconscious work, we take a mind-body-spirit approach to wellness that lets you find peace, joy, purpose and freedom to live your authentic life.
