ABOUT LEONA

The Heart Behind Salty Soul

Where movement, healing, and ocean magic come together.

Hi, I’m Leona - founder of Salty Soul, Pilates & Yoga teacher, holistic coach, Light Codes™ practitioner, and a woman fiercely devoted to helping people live longer, move better, love their bodies, and feel deeply connected to themselves and each other.

I created Salty Soul to help people - especially women - fall in love with their bodies, reconnect with their worth, and live a life that actually feels good inside.
A life where your 80-year-old self is proud of you.
Where you can still move freely, adventure, breathe deeply, and enjoy the world with strength, energy and vitality.

In a world full of screens, distraction and noise, I want you to be seen.
I want you to feel real connection, real conversation and real community - the kind that creates a ripple effect through every part of your life.

This space is for your rawness, your boldness, your truth and your authentic self.
The world needs more of you, not more of your filtered version.

MY STORY

I didn’t always live this way.

I know what it feels like to be exhausted, disconnected, lost, overwhelmed and unsure of where to start.
I’ve been the woman who puts everyone before herself.
I’ve been the one running on empty.
I’ve been the one searching for my worth outside of me.

And I also know the moment everything shifts…
It’s when you choose you.

When you decide you’re done shrinking.
Done doubting yourself.
Done abandoning your body.
Done living a life that disconnects you from who you truly are.

Movement, energy work, personal development and deep soul work brought me back to myself - and now I help others make that journey too.

WHAT I DO

At Salty Soul, I blend:

  • Pilates & Yoga

  • Nervous system healing

  • Breathwork & embodiment

  • Self-worth & emotional coaching

  • Light Codes™ energetic work

  • Women’s wellness circles & community connection

  • Retreats & Salty Escapes in nature

This is not fitness.
This is not just healing.

This is lifelong transformation - mind, body, and soul.
Work that helps you move better at 30, 50, 80 and beyond.
Work that builds resilience, longevity, strength and self-love.

MY APPROACH

I’m loving, but direct.
Grounded, but intuitive.
Nurturing, but bold enough to call you forward when you’re ready for more.

I teach with:

  • Honesty

  • Realness

  • Humour

  • Safety

  • Soul

  • And unapologetic Queen energy

When you work with me, you’re held, supported and guided - but also empowered to show up as the truest version of yourself.

WHAT SALTY SOUL STANDS FOR

Longevity & Vitality

Helping you build habits, movement and strength so your older self still travels, explores, hikes, swims, dances and lives fully.

Embodiment & Self-Love

Not shrinking yourself - but expanding.
Falling in love with your body as it carries you through life.

Raw, Bold Authenticity

No masks.
No pretending.
No performing.
Just the real you - powerful, present and fully alive.

Connection Over Screens

We choose presence over scrolling.
Conversations over comments.
Heart over image.
Real people, real stories, real community.

Ripple Effect Healing

When one woman rises, everyone around her rises too.
Your healing impacts your family, your kids, your relationships, your community - and your future.

WHO I WORK WITH

People who want to:

  • Move their bodies with intention

  • Live longer, healthier lives

  • Build strength and confidence

  • Heal emotionally

  • Break old patterns

  • Connect to nature

  • Find real community

  • Step into their raw, authentic self

  • Live boldly, unapologetically and with purpose

Especially women ready to rise into their highest selves.

WHY THE OCEAN?

Saltwater is medicine.
It grounds us.
It clears us.
It brings us back to what truly matters.

Salty Soul was born from that truth - that nature heals, movement liberates, and community transforms.

A FINAL NOTE FROM ME

You deserve a body that supports you for life.
You deserve to live long, move freely, feel strong and wake up excited.
You deserve real connection, deep breath, open-hearted living and a life that feels meaningful.

And you don’t have to do it alone.
I’m here to guide you, cheer for you and walk beside you every step of the way.

Welcome to Salty Soul.
Welcome home to you.
Your most authentic, adventurous, long-living self begins here.
