About Leith

Hello and welcome! My name is Leith Walsh and Happy Body Yoga & Pilates is my baby. I am also a Mum of three gorgeous kids, and an Angel Healer (my other baby is Twin Heart Angel Healing).

My path to Yoga, Pilates and Angel Healing has taken a few twists and turns. I felt quite spiritually connected as a child and teenager, and I used to go to Yoga classes with my mother (who also introduced me to meditation). However, my 20s and early 30s saw me working  my way up the administration side of the legal world, and I got caught up in corporate life.  I also travelled and lived overseas before finally settling in Melbourne in 2010.  Like everyone, I learnt a few interesting lessons on the way!  

Over time, I grew increasingly disillusioned with the legal environment.  I began to feel trapped in that world and disenchanted with its values.  I had always enjoyed mindful movement and Yoga, and when I was introduced to Pilates in 2007, I was hooked straight away, eventually training as a Pilates Instructor. From the very start, this was such a freeing and enjoyable career for me - and so different from the world of working in an office. As I learned to relax and work differently, and to help people through my work, my awareness started stirring and I slowly opened up to the more spiritual side of life.

In 2017, I found my way into energy healing, when I was thrown into a spiritual awakening. I realised I was able to feel the energy of others and wanted to know how to deal with that. At first, I really just wanted it all to stop so I could go back to my normal life! I Googled energy clearing with a view to “fixing the problem“, and eventually this led me to a deeper level of knowledge, and a new vocation in energy healing. 

In 2020 I had just set up a private studio in my home and was seeing clients in my own Pilates space. Unfortunately, with the onset of the pandemic and Melbourne‘s lockdowns, I found my teaching wings were considerably clipped. It wasn’t really feasible to keep teaching as I had been with my kids at home - and I found I didn’t really enjoy teaching online as much as I enjoyed being in classes. Luckily I was able to continue doing Angel healings by distance, and I still do those by distance today. 

I did keep a few friends on as Pilates clients during that time, and over the last couple of years I also enjoyed doing some relief teaching. This year I have been able to fulfill a long term dream of training as a Yoga teacher, and I have come back to regular teaching at Rosanna Fire Station Community House. I love the friendly, community environment, and I also love balancing my teaching with my spiritual work. I believe each enhances the other, and my aim is to grow both of my businesses in the next few years to provide a holistic service for those wishing to grow in themselves. I am very excited about how life is unfolding!

If my work resonates and you would like to get in touch, please do - I will look forward to hearing from you xx
