Leila brings a holistic approach to fitness in Austin, Texas. Clients can train with her at a fully equipped gym in the Rollingwood area or in-home sessions.
“As a holistic personal trainer, I look at your body as one beautifully connected system rather than separate parts.”
Leila specializes in sculpting the body to match individual goals while gently healing musculoskeletal aches and pains. Rejecting the old model of looking at the body in separate pieces, her versatile approach treats the whole system as one interconnected link.
She seamlessly integrates bodyweight workouts, strength essentials, and postural alignment with the renowned
ELDOA Method for direct spinal decompression and back pain relief.
Understanding the deep role biology plays in everyday performance, Leila offers dedicated coaching focused on women’s changing hormonal stages of life—including pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause – while also helping men build lasting physical resilience, protect their joints, and maintain their competitive edge at any age.
Whether you want to lose body fat, build lean muscle, improve aerobic and anaerobic capacity, or permanently heal chronic back pain, Leila will guide you there. Through your sessions, you will learn targeted strengthening exercises and specialized
myofascial stretches designed for long-term spinal health. Even if you simply want to unlock your potential and crush your next pull-up goal, your untapped strength is waiting to be realized.
Leila also provides specialized support throughout your pregnancy journey. By incorporating tailored pelvic floor exercises,
myofascial stretches, and ELDOA techniques, she helps safely strengthen your body and realign your pelvis for optimal prenatal and postpartum health.
A Lifelong Commitment to Learning and Movement
Leila’s approach to fitness is shaped by over 25 years of study, practice, and the guidance of incredible mentors. Early in her career, she had the unique opportunity to work with celebrity trainer Jim Karas at JKPT, where she spent time training at the gym at Oprah’s Harpo Studios.
Wanting to dive deeper into how the body heals, Leila later spent several years in Florida learning from physical therapist Dan Hellman. The golf community highly respects his work with athletes, including his use of the ELDOA method to support Tiger Woods’ recovery. To truly understand spinal care and help clients find relief from chronic back pain, Leila eventually studied directly under Dr. Guy Voyer, DO, the osteopath who created the ELDOA method.
Leila holds a Bachelor of Science degree and is a certified Eldoa Trainer, Animal Flow instructor, & C.H.E.K Institute Practitioner. Guided by a genuine desire to help her clients, friends, and family live comfortably, she has built a versatile toolkit. She is certified in a variety of modalities, including Animal Flow, strength training fundamentals, pre- and post-natal fitness, pelvic floor health, and so much more.
As a certified specialist in women’s hormonal fitness and health, she is deeply passionate about supporting women through every stage of life—from pre- and post-natal fitness to targeted strength training that helps women navigate perimenopause and menopause with energy and strength.
Most recently, she has integrated energy healing into her practice through new certifications in Reiki, allowing her to support her clients’ wellness on an even deeper level.
What is the Eldoa Method?
ELDOA exercises utilize specialized, postural techniques that gently create space and relieve pressure within specific joints of the body—most notably the spine. By using precise physical positioning, these movements create natural tension in the surrounding fascia to stabilize one vertebra while encouraging the one above it to lift and normalize.
Developed by world-renowned osteopath Dr. Guy Voyer, DO, there is a unique ELDOA exercise for every single joint in the spine, from the base of the skull all the way down to the sacroiliac joint. Whether correcting compression at the L5/S1 disc or relieving structural tension at T8/T9 from long hours at a desk, these exercises adapt perfectly to fit any individual body. In just a few minutes a day, ELDOA can help create space, decompress the spine, and restore comfort, making it one of the most effective tools Leila uses to support your long-term spinal health.
