Turning Pain Into Purpose - My Journey to Wellness

Hi, I’m Leighsa Kelly, and I’m so glad you’re here.

I want to take a moment to share a little about myself, my journey, and what inspired me to start this blog.

My path hasn’t always been easy. From my early twenties, I faced challenges with my reproductive health - infertility, ovarian cysts, and fibroids, all of which led to multiple surgeries. Along the way, I also endured the heartbreak of miscarriages and neonatal child loss; experiences that pushed me to my emotional limits and deeply affected my mental health. 

Through it all, I learned something invaluable, the importance of understanding and listening to my body.

For years I thought the way to optimise my wellbeing was only through diet and exercise. But I eventually realised it goes beyond that, it’s having awareness of environmental toxins and chemicals disrupting our health in ways we don’t even realise.

The understanding that harmful chemicals are hidden in everyday products, sparked my passion for finding natural alternatives, and that passion led to the creation of Leighsa Mari Skincare, a brand committed to formulating products free from harmful ingredients that nourish your skin and nurture your wellbeing.

Beyond skincare, I also host women’s events creating ‘safe spaces’ for us to come together, share our stories, and be vulnerable in a supportive space. It’s a truly powerful experience, being amongst other women who understand what you're going through. 

I’m so excited to have you here with me on this journey. Stay tuned for upcoming posts where we’ll dive deeper into wellness topics, natural selfcare routines, and stories that will inspire you to take control of your health and happiness.
