About Leila

Yoga teacher, therapist & energy healer

Meditation Guide · Reiki Master Teacher · Sylvotherapist · Art Therapist · Sacred Feminine & Shamanic Healing Guide

Hi, I'm Leila — yoga teacher, meditation guide, Reiki Master Teacher, sylvotherapist, art therapist and energy healer. I also give sacred feminine and shamanic drum healing sessions.

My journey led me to Chefchaouen, where the mountains, the medina and the forests create a natural sanctuary unlike any other. This is where I chose to put down roots — and continue to share the practices that have changed my life.

For nearly twenty years, I worked in advertising as a copywriter, then creative director. A world of challenges — and one that demanded everything. The stress, the pressure, the constant output. It was yoga and energy work that helped me stay grounded through all of it, and ultimately helped me find my way back to myself.

My practice began in 2007 and never stopped. Over the years I travelled — within and across borders — exploring movement, breath and stillness across traditions. I trained in Hatha, Kundalini, Yin and Yoga Nidra, earning international certifications from KRI and Yoga Alliance. I completed four levels of Reiki Usui training, followed by Reiki Karuna, and in 2025 became a fully certified Reiki Master Teacher. I have also trained in shamanic healing, sacred feminine practices, art therapy, and vibrational transmission (ETV). Each formation arrived at exactly the right moment — called by life, more than by plan.

I believe healing is not linear, and that it looks different for each person. My role is not to fix — it is to hold a space where something can shift. My approach draws from many traditions but belongs to none entirely. It is grounded in nature, in presence, and in the deep conviction that the body already knows how to heal — when given the right conditions.

Chaouniya Wellness is the project I was quietly building toward for years — without always knowing it. Rooted in Chefchaouen, it is an invitation to step out of the noise, return to yourself, and remember what it feels like to be simply and truly happy.
