For over 30 years, Laynah Hélène Lafond has dedicated herself to healing techniques for the body, mind, soul, and spirit. Her goal is to help others achieve balanced health or, at the very least, find peace with life's challenges, whether they be physical, mental, or emotional. She is passionate about Plant Spirit Medicine in its natural form and enjoys discovering plant allies that support the body's journey to reclaim its vitality. You are energy in form, and illness is merely an imbalance of this energy. Pain represents stuck energies that can be recaptured and released.

Diploma in Fitness, Health and Nutrition

With a diploma in Fitness, Health and Nutrition, she received high honors from International Correspondence School of Canada in 1988. She has been a Reiki Master since 2000 and she believes healing starts with the spirit and the energy bodies surrounding the physical form. Emotions are our barometer and they show us how far away from our true self we have moved. Emotions are allies in releasing body illnesses and calls for our attention. We are spirit energy in human form having an earthly experience. YOU are powerful healers beyond words.

5 Elements Acupressure

She studied 5 elements Acupressure in 2006 with the Canadian Acupressure College in Victoria BC and received her diploma in 2009. By working with the body’s meridian pulses, and using the 5 elements in nature, the body learns to release trauma, emotions and pain to harmonize the flow of energies.  The body knows HOW to heal itself; it simply needs help releasing the blockages to recreate balance of Body, Mind and Spirit. The body stores any unresolved emotions and manifests itself as aches, pains, headaches. It is her purpose to help people understand the body's language. There is order in chaos thus balance withing the imbalances. Everything has a cycle, even your own body.

Diploma in Acupuncture and Phytotherapy

Laynah graduated from her dual diploma program of Acupuncture and Phytotherapy (Medical Western Herbalist) at Pacific Rim College in Victoria, BC in August 2013. She studied deeper levels of acupuncture along with the use of European Western herbs. She is a good standing member of The College of Practitioners of Phytotherapy  and abides to high ethical standards.

Maestra Apprenticeship in Peru

Her recent apprenticeships in Peru (2016, 2019, 2023, 2024) introduced her to new medicine aimed at healing the soul and spirit. The Shipibo Shamans hold the belief that all illnesses can be resolved, drawing on their ancient wisdom of plant spirit medicine. She feels deeply grateful for the humbling honor of studying Shamanic practices within the Shipibo culture. Singing Icaros in sacred ceremonies elevates a sick person's vibration to align with plant spirit medicine. By meeting these powerful plant medicines halfway, they promise to meet us halfway in return, assisting in the balance of our energetic fields. The plant spirits sing their healing melodies, sharing their wisdom and gifts with those who can truly listen.

Laynah is an intuitive healer who bridges the gap between humans and plant spirit medicine. She is here to help you open your heart and connect your heaven and earth, allowing you to raise your vibration towards wellness.

She believes that it is important to feed the human form with live foods, as it is to work with spirit and emotions to better achieve health at all levels. Her wealth of knowledge and life experience makes her a very understanding practitioner that sees beyond problems and offers different solutions towards understanding the body's hidden secrets. She has herself, battle weight issues at different stage of her life, and provides valuable information as to how to reclaim a healthy body. Her techniques are simple and coupled with common sense for the busy person in today's society

It is her goal to serve and assist others in reclaiming their optimal health and return to their wellness. Her message to all her clients is to be willing to journey within and to listen to the body's aches and pains as well as to pay attention to the energies out of balance, including emotions. Stop giving away your power to someone else to fix you, YOU have the inner knowledge to best restore homeostasis in YOUR body. She aims to guide you into the wealth of knowledge that exists inside of you towards achieving your optimal health. She continues to be a vessel for the plant kingdom and creates a bridge so that you can meet some amazing plant allies.

She returns to Peru in February 2019 and will spend 2 months in the Jungle. She study the magical world of Peruvian Medicine under the tutelage of Don Enrique at Inkan Kenya, Wexa Metsa at Kushiayahuasca.com. She hope to bring a group of enthusiast with her the year 2024.
