Hello lovely! My name is Leah Lòpez and I am the intuitive and creative behind Illuminate, a local Saskatchewan business dedicated to offering empowering self-love practices including Ayurvedic Alchemy, Energy Empowerment, Restorative Reiki and Light Frequency, Symbolic Sound, Crystal Consciousness and Bountiful Breathwork as well as handcrafted jewelry and adornments. Ayurveda is an ancient tradition originating in India. Translated, it means "the science of life" and emphasizes the connections between the body, mind, and spirit. Ayurveda emphasizes good health and prevention and treatment of illness through simple and intuitive lifestyle practices as well as the use of herbal remedies. Ayurvedic medicine is holistic, which means viewing the body and mind as a whole. Ayurveda not only treats a person's physical complaints, but it also changes lifestyle practices to help maintain or improve health. Having worked with a team of Ayurvedic Doctors and Practitioners in India and successfully removing my ulcerative colitis, I committed to a two year Ayurvedic Practitioner program and have been integrating this wonderful modality into my offerings. I am a Tibetan Usui Reiki Master and Level 3 Karuna Ki student, who enjoys connecting and empowering others on their own journeys. The Reiki practice has been a key support in my own journey towards connection to and love of self and I enjoy helping clients experience this wonderfully balancing energy. I offer Light Energy, an extremely peaceful and harmonious energy modality which supports grounding and connection with self. Light symbol energy offers gentle wisdom to integrate and support you on your Earth journey. By accessing and utilizing this grounding energy, we deepen our connection with our soul’s light which may support you in increasing your self-awareness, clarity, creativity, reduce stress and negative emotions, restore focus and shift perspective. I am excited to share that I have studied several breathwork patterns, including pranayama and Clarity Breathwork, and love connecting your with your breath as a tool to help calm the nervous system. I also offer sound bowl healing which is often incorporated into my Reiki sessions. Crystal Bowl healing uses sound to attune to our human chemistry. As vibrational beings, sound frequencies and vibrations connect and ground our energy. The sounds and vibrations emanating from the crystal singing bowls support a calming and tranquil effect on the body, supporting your relaxation. All of my offerings are influenced by my own journey and the world around me - ancient culture and traditions, Goddess energy, nature, the moon, and the earth at her feet. I find my inspiration in everyday life. I utilize stones and crystals in my Reiki practice wherever possible to combine these healing modalities. I am excited to sit with you and empower you to open to your own wisdom and gifts. To learn more about me message me here or on Instagram .healing

I made this delicious chunky vegan soup for the fam last night.

Packed with all six Ayurvedic tastes and covers all bases, protein, veggies and carbs. 🍲🫘🌱🍚

Everyone loved it and it felt great to eat in the deep freeze 🥶 we're experiencing right now.

What are your go-to's in the deep chill of winter 👇🏼

🎶 The Positive Impact of Sound for the Mind-Body

We often focus on what we eat or how we move, but have you ever considered the powerful, positive impact of sound and vibration on your well-being? Both Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) view sound not just as noise, but as a therapeutic tool capable of rebalancing the body's energy.

Here is why I love intentional sound for holistic health:

🌿 The Ayurvedic Perspective: Sound and the Elements

🎵In Ayurveda, sound (Shabda) is intrinsically linked to the element of Ether (Akasha). Sound therapy works by creating resonance that affects the flow of energy (Prana) through the subtle channels (Nadis).
🎵 Calming the Scatter: Intentional sounds (like chanting or deep humming) are profoundly grounding. This is highly effective for calming elevated Vata dosha—reducing anxiety, scattered thoughts, and insomnia.
🎵 Vibrational Healing: Specific sounds and mantras create vibrations that pe*****te deep into the tissues, helping to break up stagnation (Ama) and harmonize the chakras, promoting overall clarity and stability.

☯️ The TCM Perspective: Toning Organs and Moving Qi

🎵 TCM views sound as a vibration that directly influences the organ systems and the movement of Qi (life force energy) throughout the meridians.
🎵 Toning the Organs: Specific vocal sounds are used to "tone" or "clear" excess or deficiency in the five major organ systems. This targeted vibration helps move stagnant Qi and restore balance.
🎵 Emotional Release: Sound allows for the non-verbal expression and release of pent-up emotions. By moving energy that is stuck in an organ system, you facilitate emotional and physical healing.
🎵 Grounding Effect: Intentional sound acts as a steady rhythm, pulling your energy down and inward, anchoring you in the present moment.

🎧 How to Use Sound for Healing Today (Experience the Power!)
💡 Try integrating sound therapy into your day:
🐝 Humming/Chanting: Use simple vocalizations (like the Bhramari breath) or mantras to create internal vibration.
🕊️ Tune In: Sit quietly, focusing on natural sounds and notice how you feel.

🤎 The Small but Mighty Spice: Cloves in Ayurveda & TCM

Don’t let its size fool you! The humble clove is a potent medicinal powerhouse used for centuries in both Ayurveda and TCM to warm the body and ignite vitality. 🌟

Here is why this aromatic spice deserves a permanent spot in your wellness toolkit:

🌿 The Ayurvedic Perspective: Awakening Agni
In Ayurveda, Cloves (Lavanga) are prized for their pungent and heating qualities.
🔥Boosts Digestive Fire: excellent for stimulating Agni (digestive fire), helping the body break down food more efficiently and clear out Ama (toxins).
💆🏼‍♀️Calms Vata & Kapha: incredibly soothing for Vata (reducing gas and bloating) and helps clear excess Kapha (mucus and congestion) from the system.
🌪️Metabolic Support: helps move energy through the body's channels, ensuring nutrients reach where they are needed most.

☯️ The TCM Perspective: Warming the Center
In Traditional Chinese Medicine, Clove (Ding Xiang) is an herb that strongly warms the interior and directs Qi downward.
🕯️Warms the Stomach & Spleen: treats "Cold" in the middle jiao (the digestive center). If you struggle with a cold stomach or poor appetite, clove provides the necessary heat to get things moving.
⏬Directs Qi Downward: a go-to remedy for "Rebellious Qi"—symptoms like hiccups, nausea, or acid reflux where energy is moving up instead of down.
🫘Kidney Support: warms the Kidney Yang, supporting foundational energy and warmth throughout the entire body.

✨ Simple Ways to Use Cloves Today
🍵A Warming Brew: Add 1–2 whole cloves to your morning tea or warm lemon water to stoke your digestive fire. ☕
🌾Spice Your Grains: Toss a few whole cloves into the pot when cooking rice or quinoa for a subtle, grounding aroma.
🪥Oral Care: Chewing on a single clove is a traditional remedy for freshening breath and soothing gum discomfort.

📢Note: Because cloves are very heating, a little goes a long way! Use them mindfully, especially if you have a high Pitta (heat) constitution.

💡Setting goals doesn’t have to feel like a heavy burden. 💡

🌿 At its core, a goal is simply a clear statement of what you want to achieve. This time of year, it’s easy to get lost in the "invisible," but goal setting is just the first step in turning that invisible into the visible.

🌿Why bother? Because a well-set goal provides a foundation for you to identify and advocate for your own needs. It’s a tool that can be personalized entirely to you and how you want to move through the world.

✨Last night at my class, we had an intentionally slow reintroduction to dance. We also talked about one thing we do for ourselves as a form of self-care. I talked about my practice of Ayurvedic massage with oil every morning and my goal to have daily movement in 2026. These are both goals that involve self-care and nurturing, exactly my intended energy for 2026.✨

💡Let’s move away from the pressure and toward intention.💡

What’s one self-care oriented goal you would choose for yourself in 2026? 👇

01/04/2026

I am so excited to announce a free offering as a part of the upcoming Self-Care Sampler week .

I'll be offering a ✨Sound Bowl Session✨ this coming Friday, January 9th from 5:30-7:30.

Together we'll experience the relaxation associated with sound bowls, offering gentle calm and restoration.

Bring a yoga mat and journal and join us for this blissful experience. Visit https://theheartcenter.ca/selfcarecollective/ to register - the clickable link will be provided in my stories.

✨ 2025: A Year of Deep Roots and New Horizons

As the sun sets on 2025, I’m find myself in a space of immense gratitude and quiet reflection. Looking back, this hasn’t just been another year; t’s been a year of healing, growth, and foundational building.

Twelve months ago, I stepped away from the public service, government world and since then the journey has been nothing short of transformative.

Building the Foundation 🏗️
This year, I officially stood up my wellness business and poured my heart into the research for my wellness framework. Between diving deep into Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and undertaking various movement trainings, my toolkit has expanded in ways I never imagined. I am especially excited to share that I’ll soon be certified to teach a movement form that has become a cornerstone of my own practice!

Healing & Home 🏡
Beyond the business, 2025 was a year for me. I focused on my own health and internal healing, which allowed me to show up more fully for the people who matter most. I’ve been so incredibly blessed to spend a lot more time with my girls and to have the unwavering support of my rock of a husband. Their presence has been the ultimate grounding force in this whirlwind year.

Looking Ahead: Trusting the Flow in 2026 🌊
As I look toward 2026, I’m not leaning into rigid resolutions. Instead, I’m trusting my intuition and higher guidance.

My intentions for the coming year:

🚀 Launch: Finally bringing my wellness framework to life and sharing it with all of you.

⚽ Passion: Reconnecting with my love for movement, dance, and soccer.

✨ Openness: Keeping my heart and my schedule wide open, trusting in whatever is meant to come my way.

🕊️I’m entering the new year with a sense of peace, knowing that the work I’ve done this year has prepared me for whatever is next.

Thank you for being part of this journey with me. How are you feeling as we head into 2026? What are you choosing to leave behind, and what are you carrying forward? 👇

🕯Return of the Light: Honoring the Celtic Solstice🕯️

Today we reach the deepest point of the year,the Winter Solstice. In the ancient Celtic tradition, this is known as Alban Arthan, or "The Light of Arthur." It is the shortest day and the longest night, a sacred threshold where the wheel of the year pauses before beginning its turn back toward the sun. 🌑✨
While it might feel like a time of dormancy, the Celts understood that new life begins in the dark. Just as a seed germinates beneath the soil, our own inner light is nurtured in these quiet, shadowy months.

🌲 Celtic Elements of the Season
In honor of my ancestry and the rhythms of the earth, I’m sharing some Celtic traditions to stay grounded today:

The Evergreen Promise: Bringing holly, ivy, and yew indoors wasn't just decoration; it was a reminder that life persists even in the harshest winter. It symbolizes resilience and the continuity of the soul. 🌿

The Yule Log: Traditionally, a piece of oak was burned to give strength to the "New Sun." Today, light a candle to symbolize that same internal spark, the warmth we carry when the world feels cold. 🔥

The Spirit of Mistletoe: To the Druids, mistletoe was "Healer of All." It represents the bridge between the earth and the heavens. It’s a beautiful reminder to stay connected to our higher selves even when we are deeply rooted in the physical.

✨ Finding Your Center in the Stillness

In a world that constantly asks us to "do" and "produce," the Solstice gives us permission to simply be. In both my Ayurveda and TCM studies, this is the peak of Yin—the ultimate time for rest, internal reflection, and deep nourishment. If you are feeling "scattered" (that Vata energy!), use this longest night to ground yourself. Sit in the dark for a moment, breathe into your belly, and recognize that the light isn't gone—it’s just resting.
Tomorrow, the days begin to lengthen. But for tonight, let’s honor the dark. 🌑🙏

How are you marking the Solstice today? Are you lighting a candle, resting, or setting an intention for the coming light? Share your fav rituals below! 👇

🥣 Liquid Gold: The Healing Power of Dhaniya Rasam
This time of year when you're feeling run down, congested, or your digestion has hit a "sluggish" phase, let me introduce you to one of my all-time favorite Ayurvedic staples: Rasam. 🌟
Specifically, Coriander (Dhaniya) Rasam. Unlike heavier soups, this thin, spicy, and tangy broth is designed to "kindle" your digestive fire (Agni) without weighing you down.

🌿 A Healing Powerhouse:
In Ayurveda, we use Rasam as a household remedy for everything from the common cold to indigestion. Here’s why it works:
✨Ignites Agni: The combination of black pepper, cumin, and ginger acts like a spark for your digestion, helping to clear out Ama (toxins).
✨Coriander: Coriander seeds are cooling yet digestive-enhancing, making this specific version perfect for balancing internal heat while still moving stagnant energy.
✨Tamarind & Mishri: The sourness of tamarind and the subtle sweetness of mishri create a perfect " Rasa" (taste) balance that restores lost appetite and grounds the nervous system.

✨ How to Make My Go-To Rasam
This version is light, tomato-free, and incredibly easy to whip up:
🍲The Spice Base: Dry roast 1.5 tbsp coriander seeds, ½ tbsp cumin, ½ tsp black peppercorns, and a dried red chili until aromatic. Cool and grind into a fine powder.
🍲The Infusion: Soak a small piece of tamarind in warm water and squeeze out the juice.
🍲The Tempering: Heat a little ghee or oil in a pot. Add mustard seeds, cumin, and a pinch of hing (asafoetida). Once they splutter, add fresh curry leaves and crushed garlic.
🍲The Simmer: Stir in your freshly ground spice powder, then pour in 3 cups of water and your tamarind juice. Add a pinch of turmeric, salt, and a bit of jaggery.
🍲Finish: Let it come to a gentle boil for 5 minutes. Toss in a generous handful of fresh coriander leaves (stalks too!) and turn off the heat.

Pro-Tip: Sip it warm like a savory tea, or pour it over soft, mushy rice with a little extra ghee for the ultimate "hug in a bowl." 🥣✨

Have you ever tried Rasam? It’s the perfect ritual for a "reset" day! Let me know in the comments! 👇

🎶 Sound as Medicine: How Vibration Heals the Mind-Body
We often focus on what we eat or how we move, but have you ever considered the powerful, positive impact of sound and vibration on your wellbeing? Both Ayurveda and TCM view sound as a therapeutic tool capable of rebalancing the body's energy.
Here's why tuning into intentional sound is essential for holistic health:

🌿 The Ayurvedic Perspective: Resonance & the Elements

🔊In Ayurveda, sound is intrinsically linked to the element of Ether (Akasha). Sound therapy works by creating resonance that affects the flow of energy (Prana) through the subtle channels (Nadis).
🔊Calming Vata: Intentional sounds (like chanting or deep humming) are profoundly grounding, highly effective for calming elevated Vata dosha, reducing anxiety, scattered thoughts, and insomnia.
🔊Vibrational Healing: Specific sounds and mantras create vibrations that pe*****te deep into the tissues, breaking up stagnation (Ama) and harmonize the chakras (energy centers), promoting overall clarity and stability.

☯️ The TCM Perspective: Toning the Organs & Moving Qi

🔊Grounding Effect: Intentional sound acts as a steady rhythm, pulling your energy down and inward, anchoring you in the present moment

🎧 ~ Try integrating sound therapy into your day:
✨Humming/Chanting: Use simple vocalizations (like the Bhramari breath) or mantras to create internal vibration.
✨Tuning In: Sit quietly and focus on natural sounds (like wind or rain) to quiet the internal noise.

✨Experience Deep Resonance: I'm hosting a Sound Bowls Offering on Sunday, December 7th from 1:30–2:30 PM. Join us and experience the power of sound for yourself!
