For five years, she struggled with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and she was forced to quit employment and sell her home.

Despite how hopeless the situation felt, she decided to take matters into her own hands and reclaim her health. By adopting a whole new approach to health and wellness, she soon was on the path to recovery.

She is passionate about supporting and empowering women in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond. She has helped hundreds of women feel amazing (both inside and out).

About Ananda,

Ananda Kiamsha Madelyn Leeke discovered mindfulness, self-care, and wellness when her career as a lawyer, an investment banker, and a digital communications professional stressed her out, caused burnout, and did not produce the level of success she expected. Over the past 30 years, mindfulness, self-care, and wellness have helped Ananda navigate change, become resilient, overcome panic attacks, transform her relationship with technology and social media, and release her career expectations. As a result, she has been able to pursue her calling as an artist-in-residence at Smith Center for Healing and the Arts at Howard University Hospital and Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, an author, a speaker, a trainer, a mindfulness and yoga teacher, a digital wellness educator, a reiki and sound healing practitioner, a Thriving Mindfully Coach, and a Human Design Doula. Today, she coaches and trains high achievers and mission-driven companies, organizations, and communities on how to navigate change, to embrace self-care and digital wellness, to tap into creativity, become resilient, and to thrive mindfully.
