Biography |
Meet Alissha Leonor, a multifaceted Herbalist with a passion for Holistic Wellness and a zest for life. Born in September 1981, Alissha has always had a deep appreciation for natural art and design. She pursued her formal education in Art & Design and Allied Health Studies, blending her love for creativity with an interest in holistic well-being.
With a diverse professional background, Alissha has honed her skills in executive administration and business development. In 2009, she embarked on a new adventure by moving to Dominican Republic to learn about her family history and culture where she met and married Eddy Leonor, a native of the Dominican Republic. Living abroad exposed Alissha to her ancestral culture, allowing her to embrace different perspectives and broaden her knowledge of natural remedies.
In 2012, everything changed when Alissha welcomed her first baby girl into the world. This joyous occasion further sparked her intense curiosity about wellness and ignited her journey of further researching natural remedies. Determined to make a difference in this field, she joined a prominent health & wellness company based in South Florida as Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO and COO.
Seeking greater flexibility and work-life balance, Alissha took a leap of faith in 2016 and founded “Work Life Balanced,” her own virtual assistant firm. This venture allowed her to prioritize family while pursuing her professional goals of simultaneously studying Holistic Wellness.
The year 2020 brought forth new challenges but also profound personal growth for Alissha. Amidst the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic, she gave birth to her second daughter while embracing a plant-based lifestyle and transitioning toward creating a toxic-free home environment. Upon contracting the Covid-19 virus herself, Alissha made it a point to follow the guidance of her naturopathic practitioner to naturally heal herself from the virus using only holistic regimens.
In 2022, defying expectations once again, Alissha experienced an unmedicated home birth after two previous cesarean section deliveries – this time welcoming her son into the world naturally. Throughout this transformative pregnancy journey marked by gestational diabetes diagnosis, she diligently and successfully managed her blood sugar levels holistically, preparing herself for the safe arrival of her baby boy.
Today, Alissha is a homeschooling mother of three, managing her home business alongside family responsibilities. Her commitment to holistic well-being deepened further in 2023 when she became the full-time caregiver for her father, who was diagnosed with “Metastatic Brain Cancer and Dementia.” This experience served as a catalyst for Alissha to fully embrace her passion for herbalism and holistic wellness to share its benefits with the world.
With an unwavering dedication to wellness and a compassionate spirit, Alissha Leonor continues to inspire others through her journey of personal growth, entrepreneurship, and nurturing those around her, focusing on the Mind, Body, and Soul.
