Who is Leah Salmon - The Naturally You Coach
Mrs Leah Salmon CMTA BSY. Nutri. The Naturally You coach (Born Leah Hall) from Harlesden London, UK is the Founder of The Naturally You Coach (formerly called Davidel.com) and The Natural You Network and has been working in the world of complementary health and nutrition for over 10 years.
When Leah started off as a nutritionist, she was a vegetarian who ate soya, bread and low fat foods daily and felt good about herself and her diet. She had pretty good energy, concentration and she kept her weight down.
 |
When she started giving consultations to people who asked for her help, that was the diet and lifestyle she recommended for them too, vegetarian, low fat and a fair amount of grains.
This worked well for a short time but soon, Leah begun to realise that some of the people she worked with were getting good results, others were getting no results at all and others were getting worse. Like most “think they know it all” practitioners at that time, Leah assumed the ones who were getting no results or getting worse just weren’t sticking to her recommendations, but then she came across a situation she simply couldn’t explain using her current knowledge. |
Leah met someone who ate the exact same diet as her (vegetarian, loads of soy and grains, very low fat), BUT they were clinically obese, always sick or suffering from some kind of infection. She also realised that one of the healthiest people she knew thrived on a high fat, high protein diet, rarely got sick and had bags energy.
Confused and slightly disillusioned by it all, Leah’s work as a nutritionist taper off and she focused on selling whole foods and supplements until she figured things out.
A chance purchase of a highly recommended book provided the missing piece to a puzzle that almost led Leah to give up on being a nutritionist altogether.
 |
She bought The Metabolic Typing Diet book and after reading it realised that it was her ”One Size Fits All” “If it worked for me it’ll work for them” attitude that led to he limited success with some clients and explained the difference between her 2 friends.
Even though this new paradigm made so much sense to her, it was with some trepidation that she pursued her path in Metabolic typing. It flipped everything on it’s head and she realised she be going against so many long held beliefs about how to be healthy, but she could do it any longer, she couldn’t stand by and watch everyone follow the standard healthy diet that was making many of them sick without doing her bit to help. |
So she trained to become a metabolic typing instructor and finally started to see real sustained results with he clients.
That was stage one!!!
The next thing that Leah realised was that food was a big part of getting someone healthier, but conditions like skin inflammations, bacterial overgrowths and digestive problems all had a huge impact on the progress of her clients and had to be tackled too, so she introduced natural cleansing, detoxing and environmental advice to her work. Leah's 3rd daughter suffered from a skin inflamation fro most fo her fist year of life which was cleared up by a parasite cleanse, diet changes and supplementation, so this became testiment to it's effectiveness on top of the mounting research on it.
As well as her clients would do once they were eating for their metabolic type, cleansing and cleaning up their environment, replacing a chemical cleaning and personal care products with natural ones, there would all to often come a point when something, habit, a belief, an insecurity would get in the way and they would fall off the program.
 |
At the same time Leah realised this, she had begun getting coaching herself and learned more and more about the real benefits of life coaching. Having once laughed at the cheesy one liners life coaches and motivational speakers dished out, Leah’s life, attitude and business begun to grow by implementing it into her own life and that of her clients.
This Naturally You Coaching and Leah, The Naturally You Coach evolved. |
In the midst of all the above. Leah’s experiences with her children were life changing for her to say the least.
Her first child was born in 2005 and after having morning sickness for months, Leah went into labour 10 weeks early, giving birth to her daughter at just 30 weeks (7 ½ months) of pregnancy. This was very hard for Leah to deal with, weight a mere 3lbs her daughter stayed in hospital and didn’t come home until she was 6 weeks old.
 |
Leah got pregnant again when her daughter was just 3 months old (clearly you can get pregnant while breastfeeding!) to her first son who was miraculously born at 23 weeks of pregnancy (5 months and 3 weeks), weighing just 1lb.
After a fighting start, her son remained in hospital until he was 8 months old and after a succession of procedures, operations and treatments, he passed on at exactly 8 months old. |
Distraught, Leah thought she’d never have children again, but just 5 months later, she conceived again and for the first time, Leah not only gave birth to full term baby (10 great months of pregnancy) she also had a largely unassisted home birth against harsh opposition from the medical professionals she was working with.
She has since given birth to 2 more children in home births, experiencing the joy of natural pregnancy and childbirths at home.
Again, it was changes in her diet and working with nature that Leah attributed to the success of her last 3 pregnancies.
The vegetarian junk food diet that encompassed most of her teens and early twenties attributed to a torrent of irritaing symptoms that she was able to clear up one by one using diet changes, aromatherapy and herbal medicines, including a dry itchy scalp, heavy painful periods, thrush, low energy, alternating consitpation and diarrhoea, mood swings and inability to focus.
Leah also treated her daughters skin condition and other daughter's bow legs with diet changes and natural remedies.
Leah knows that her journey through natural health will continue to heal and re balance her body and her family, until she reaches what she considers optimal fitness, though she admits she's not there yet, she's in a far better place than she ever has been and loves learning more and challenging what she does know daily to keep giving herself, her family and clients the most up to date information, advice and guidance she can. Her book collection is raging out of control in this pursuit and her Amazon wishlist gets added to regularly!
Now Leah has authored 2 books, The Ultimate You her first book and Leah’s Raw Food Feast.
She gives talks, seminars, Raw food demonstrations, workshops and radio shows.
Her newsletter reaches thousands of people weekly, her social network is growing and developing providing people with a place to meet like minded people interested in natural health and her qualifications and training so far include Certified Metabolic Typing Advisor, holding diplomas in Nutrition, Herbalism, Holistic Diagnostic Techniques and Iridology from The British School of Yoga and she’s a level two Reiju and Sekhem Healer through Sharma Pillay of Difinity Healing.
Leah loves food of every description, even thougth she curretly doesn't eat meat and poultry. Raw food desserts and salads are her favorite foods plus anything that looks like a pizza (have you seen her raw vegan versions!!!)
As a homeschooling mother, she loves learning more about childhood education and raising whole food healthy happy children.
You'll normally find her in the kitchen making something, from videos, to new recipes, to personal hygiene and natural cleaning products or hanging out online trying to learn more.
If she could own 200 pairs of pretty shoes, hand bags and earrings she would (she's probably half way there, but rarely gets to wear any of them!!!)
 |
She loves to catch a movie with her husband, spend time with family and her sisters, read and support the work of her spiriual father and teacher Dr Malachi K York. |
