Jaki Leontiev · Certified Naturopath

Hi, I'm Jaki.

My Story

My journey into health started as a competitive Latin American dancer.

While completing my bachelor's degree in kinesiology, I became deeply committed to dance and began training at a highly competitive level. I trained intensely, under-ate without realizing the impact it would have on my body, and eventually lost my menstrual cycle for nearly three years.

What began as a missing period evolved into weight gain, anxiety, and a diagnosis of PCOS.

When I sought help, I was prescribed the medication metformin, but I knew that wasn't addressing the root cause of what had led to my hormonal imbalances in the first place.

Determined to find answers, I took my health into my own hands. What started as a personal search for healing completely changed the direction of my life. I shifted my career path and began studying naturopathy, immersing myself in the study of nutrition, hormones, and the foundations of natural health.

Along the way, I learned the fundamentals of health that no one had ever taught me: the power of the sun, proper nutrition, and real hydration, just to name a few.

As I applied these principles, my cycle returned, my hormones rebalanced, the weight came off, and I finally felt like myself again.

That experience changed everything. It led me to become a naturopath and sparked a passion for helping others understand what I wish I had known sooner: that the body has an incredible capacity to come back into a state of balance when given the right conditions.

Today, I combine my background in kinesiology, naturopathy, and my lifelong fascination with human performance, biology, and health optimization to help people address root causes and create lasting vitality.

The Approach

Our healthcare system is mainly designed to detect disease. But between disease and optimal health lies a whole world that’s too often ignored. It’s where your restless sleep lives, your digestion struggles, your energy swings, your mood feels shaky, and that fatigue no one can explain. No diagnosis, and yet you feel something’s off.

Your body is one connected ecosystem, where every system speaks to every other. Pull one string and the whole web moves. Hormones, metabolism, sleep, digestion, nervous system: all of them adjust to each other and to the world around you. This is why health is a sphere, never a straight line. So when a symptom appears, it’s your body communicating, signaling that you’ve drifted out of balance through the things we barely notice: the blue light late at night, the rushed meals, the chronic low-grade stress.

No one taught you how to catch these imbalances before they become diagnoses. You’ve heard “eat your vegetables, move your body, sleep well,” yet you still feel depleted and wonder what you’re missing. My role is to help you understand it, so the question shifts from “what’s wrong with me?” to “what is my body trying to tell me?” From there, you become an active participant in your own health. We work at the root, in your daily lifestyle and the small actions that shape how you feel. Each choice compounds, one good decision feeding the next, until these become the foundation of a healthier life. You hold the power. I’m here to give you the knowledge to use it.
