Hello, My Name is Lila

My passion for learning through the physical body started young as I experimented through different forms of dance, gymnastics, soccer, swimming, strength training, and by discovering yoga asana at around 16 years old. Along the way, movement became an important emotional outlet for me and I learned how to use bodywork to heal from injuries, pain, and imbalances in my body. My connection and understanding of the body has formed naturally and was supported by 7 years as a Nurse Clinician working in many different areas of the hospital. In 2016 I began more intentionally recovering from Complex PTSD (CPTSD) caused by an abusive childhood that created addictions, disorganized attachment, and many other debilitating manifestations of trauma—through that journey bodywork has become an essential tool in my own healing and the experiences from my past drive a lot of the work I do today.

I was born just outside of London, England with extrasensory perception that caused me to perceive the world differently by reading frequencies and patterns that don’t translate through physical dimensions. As a child this looked like giving up eating animals at 4 years old, reading potential future timelines, having knowledge on the laws of nature such as the “law of attraction”, and sensing earth bound spirits around the village I lived in. These sensitivities give me an ability to read people on a deep level (i.e identifying personal patterns and shadows, connecting with childhood stories and situations, and reading illnesses in the physical body) and help me understand how different medicines can meet different needs. These high sense perception states are most identifiable with psychic-medium work, shamanism, channeling, and traditionally as the “Seers” that have walked amongst us since the start of humanity.

I first became interested in the intersection of trauma and the womb through my own journey in healing from “PCOS” (now more appropriately named PMOS) that was compounded by experiences of childhood sexual abuse and chronic stress. At age 24 I began a journey to holistically rebalance my body from high testosterone after years of using birth control which only masked the symptoms that my hormones were communicating to me. After many years of painful periods and extremely long cycles, I now experience a more regular, balanced period and a greater overall sense of health and wellbeing.

I’m a dedicated environmentalist, naturalist, and a huge animal lover currently living with two rescued dogs and two fosters. I became passionate about plant based nutrition after working in a raw vegan restaurant when I was 20, I love to cook and create recipes with plants. I also enjoy interior design and sustainable architecture, and traveling to different historical and cultural sites. I still move my body through various ways and am always exploring different somatic expressions and natural ecosystems — marinating in the different gifts of nature with my dogs is one of my favorite life treasures.
