Lea Bayles, M.A.

Lea Bayles, M.A. (formerly Lea Houston)

Thousands of people ages 8- 96 and from many walks of life have learned from Lea to transform tension, pain, anxiety, struggle and stress into ease, vitality, inner peace, creativity, health and happiness.

Since she was a teenager, Lea has been an avid student of meditation, yoga, energy healing and other mind-body-spiritual practices. These were invaluable in helping her heal her own host of stress-related symptoms such as eating disorders, migraines, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue.

Learning to access the healing power within has given her great insight and compassion for helping others find natural, holistic methods for increasing health, wellbeing and a sense of delight in living in a body. Combining her personal experience with years of spiritual and professional training allows Lea to offer a unique and powerful blend of healing and transformational practices.

Dealing with her own midlife challenges including divorce, loss of loved ones, chaotic hormones, insomnia, career change and empty nest and being happily surprised by the gifts of midlife such as freedom of time and choice, post-menopausal zestiness and heightened intuition and courage has inspired her to become a champion for the magic and magnificence of midlife.

Since turning fifty Lea has become increasingly passionate about helping people at midlife activate their power of love for sensual, soulful self care, conscious, transformational relationships, creative expression and joyful service.

She is on a mission to activate The Power of Midlife Love as a life changing, world changing force.
