Unlike many of her mentor/motivator contemporaries, Leyla grew up in a very privileged life style. Her parents owned their own business in Hong Kong, and her father worked for one of the largest shipping companies in the world Orient Overseas Container Lines (OOCL), and retired as Chairman of the Board in the late 1980s.

Because her parents business often took them on travels, and not wanting to leave their beloved daughter at home, Leyla traveled extensively throughout the world as a young child, and learned the cultures of each region she visited and lived in. Later in life, Leyla incorporated these diverse cultures in her own life�s path with an understanding of each as if she had lived them many lifetimes before.

Leyla comes from a family with diverse religious and cultural beliefs and practices. Because of this, Leyla has a wide, and personal, knowledge of different belief systems and cultures, and incorporates these into her day-to-day Spiritual life.

When Leyla immigrated to Canada, with her family, in 1992, her challenges began. Arriving in Canada in the midst of a terrible recession, Leyla�s parents slowly lost most of their fortune. The stress of the situation, as well being in a new country with no social network, Leyla set out on a path of destruction and then self-discovery, and finally success over a 10-year time frame.

Married at a relatively young age, Leyla was thrust into a world of abuse and substance abuse.

At the young age of 26, Leyla�s first husband completed suicide, leaving Leyla a widow, homeless, and completely lost emotionally and physically.

Over the next few years, Leyla embarked on a journey of spiritual re-growth and self-love. Although during this time, Leyla openly admits to having struggled with this.

In 2002, Leyla suffered a seizure where her heart stopped and she was inturbated and was in a coma. This was a direct result of negligence from a doctor who had mis-diagnosed, and over-medicated her.

While in the coma, Leyla speaks of having had a near-death experience (the third in her life time, but by far, the most profound). When she emerged from the coma, Leyla received a diagnosis of having residual brain damage. She was told to �go home, get on disability, find a good hobby, and live your life out to the best of your ability.�

She was told that there was no hope of �cure� or being able to live a �normal� life ever again.

Allowing herself 20 minutes to cry over the situation, she found the resolve within herself to �never allow� herself to be �labeled and shelved away again�!

She went home and began her process of �becoming whole�. Leyla refers to this time in her life as being her complete �rebirth�.

The process of �rehabilitation� lasted about 1 � months in which time she re-learned to walk, talk, read, write, type, and use the internet.

With each success she achieved, her confidence grew stronger and her determination more resilient.

When Leyla regained approximately 90% functionality, she met a gentleman in Arizona. In October of 2002, Leyla made a trip to Arizona to have a vacation and spend time with this individual. In December 2002, Leyla and her husband were married.

Today, Leyla guides and teaches individuals and large groups in finding success in their lives.

Leyla has a world-wide following, and has aided in helping countless thousands of individuals effect positive changes in their lives, finding success in life, over-coming self-esteem and fear issues, removing blocks of the past to realize a successful future, guided meditation and how meditation plays a critical importance in life to bring about body/mind/soul harmonic balance, as well as the Law of Attraction. Leyla has clients ranging from major celebrities to entrepreneurs to housewives.

Leyla is often a special guest on Celebrity Artist, Michael Bell�s radio show, as well as The Rock Report with Kat Vecchione. Leyla has just released her first guided mediation CD; as well, her famous �Love and Light ~ Pass it On� tag line has recently become a clothing line. Leyla is currently working on her first book, as well as various projects to inspire others, including the blue-print for her own television show and movie.

In May 2008, Leyla premiered her weekly radio show, "Manifesting the Positive", with co-host Stuart "GuruStu" Rosen.

The show gained incredible success in the first few weeks of being aired, and went "international" prior to the airing of the first show. Listener numbers have steadily increased each week.

To date, listeners are tuning in from countries such as South Africa, Mozambique, Israel, Morocco, Dubai, India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Australia, all across Europe, UK, across Canada, South America, and the USA.

The line-up of guests have been diverse and each one has given a positive message of inspiration.

For Leyla, it feels that life has come full-cycle, and she is enjoying this portion of it. Incredibly humbled by her success and recognition, Leyla strives each and every day to make a difference in the world as we know it; and to help individuals who come in contact with her, become empowered and inspired.

Leyla has lived in England, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Australia, and Canada. Leyla currently resides in Scottsdale, Arizona with her husband.
