Hello and Welcome to Welty Wellness and Nutrition!
I'm Leigh Ann, a Holistic Health Practitioner committed to helping active women over 40 with chronic joint pain and muscle weakness say goodbye to daily aches, pains and stiffness, rediscover their strength, and live a vibrant life free of discomfort, embracing each day with energy and joy.
As an active Pilates instructor with a go getter personality, I experienced a time in my life where I was working too hard, over taxing my body and not taking any time for my own self-care. I struggled with chronic low back and hip pain, weekly trips to the chiropractor, pelvic floor dysfunction, unpredictable mood swings, self-deprecating anxiety, brain fog, heartburn, bloating, and trouble sleeping. After an enlightening trip to Colorado with colleagues I recognized that although I looked super healthy on the outside, my insides were screaming for help.
I took a step back, re-evaluated what was truly important to me, and embarked on a genuine healing journey. I discovered the Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® and holistic health healing modalities, addressed multiple imbalances in my body, and pursued a career as a Holistic Health Practitioner so that I could share my experience and help others learn how to heal themselves too. As an active 48 year old, I continue to work on my own well-being and recovery daily and I'm excited to guide you in finding your own answers and pave the way for your healing journey.
I believe that each woman’s concerns deserve to be heard. “Normal” test results don’t mean “Optimal” and we know when something in our body is “off”. Instead of looking at one symptom and trying to put a band aid on it (pills/surgery), I look at the body as a whole. I use functional lab screenings and energetic testing to investigate further, reveal hidden healing opportunities, and teach my clients how to be proactive in managing their own wellness thru proper nutrition, lifestyle, and behavior choices.
Nutrition may be the foundation of health and wellness, but nutrition is not just about “healthy” eating. Total body nourishment (i.e. health, wellness, vitality, metabolism) must take into account ALL the things we do or don’t do on a daily basis in regard to diet, rest, movement, exercise, breathing, light exposure, and most importantly stress management. While nutrients in our food are fundamental for health, if the other aspects of our nutrition are imbalanced, the impact of what we eat diminishes and overall wellness suffers.
I am truly passionate about empowering women to take control of their own health. Why simply SURVIVE when you can THRIVE? Our bodies are designed to heal and when we “feed” them what they need and remove the “debris” causing pain, imbalance and discomfort, total body wellness is possible!
I finally got my real answers…let me help you get your real answer too!!
